BEGGING n ISSUE.

Secretary Redfeld, who was nearly
dismissed from Wilson's cabinet De-
| cause he advocated a revision of the
tariff schedules to prevent "dumping'
following the war, has no, changed
his general views, but owing to the
force of circumstances, the cabinet
officer has been compelled to advo.
cate another remedy.
No one can take issue with MIR.
Redfield in the fear he expresses Of
what will happen unless American
industry is protected by legislation.
As a member of President Wilson's
official family, it was no; to be ex.
pected he could incorporate his tariff
views into the annual report just
made public. Instead he a advocat.
ed an impossible remedy. He mercy
begs the issue. The suggestions Of
the secretary of commerce are as i'm
possible as they are ridiculous.
"In my judgment" said the secre-
tary, "the matter is one which may
be more wisely treated as an attempt
ed wrong to be forbidden than as an
economic matter which needs to be
restrained. | should prefer, there
fore, to deal with it by a method 9TH
er than tariffs, CHASING it as an Of
Tense similar to the unfair domestic
competition We now forbid
What veritable rot.
But the worst is yet to come:
81 also recommend that legislation
supplemental to the Clayton Anti
Trust Act be enacted, which shall
make it unlawful to sell or purchase
articles of foreign origin or manufac.
ture where the prices to be paid are
materially below the current rates for
such articles in the country of pro.
duction or from which shipment IS
made"
This %precaution is in the same class
with the kind that locks the barn
door door after the horse has been
stolen. Secretary Redfeld proposes
to treat the "dumping'' evil after the
goods have arrived by trying to regu.
late their sale through visionary
price fixing laws.
His idea Of treating the evil
through an extension of the Clayton.
Antitrust law is merely evasion and
subterfuge. Secretary Redfield knows
that tariff revision would prevent the
flooding of u markets with com.
modities following the war. Like
Wilson, however, he refuses to meet
the tariff issue squarely. The bust.
world has not forgotten his in.
terview, several months Ego, in watch
he quoted Wilson as having consent.
ed to a slight tariff revision. Red.
fields statement brought a vigorous
denial from Secretary Tumulty, WHO
declared emphatically that any iariil
ideas must be charged to Redfield
solely and that the president has
never authorized the views expressed.
1t is interesting to recall this his.
tory in view of the present report,
which doubtless passed under the
keen censorship of President Wilson
before being made public.
