THAT "ANTI.DUMPING" LAW"

Secretary Redfed of the department of commerce is
aboring under the deusion that federal law against
dumpng foreign products after the war will adequate

Ito prohibit foreign countries from selling in the United
States at less than cost Such law might help some but
it would not affect the difference between of produc
ton abroad and at home.
| Labor is much cheaper in Europe than in the United
States 1t is less efficient in many cases, but the differ
in efficiency not great enough to make the cost
ducon in Europe high as it is in the United States.
| The democrats don't like to confront the problem,
says the Tacoma Ledger 1t is pointed out by the Ledger
that the has stopped the importation of numerous pro-
ducts and several factories have opened in this country
plans have been made to open factories and furnish the
articles heretofore coming from abroad Secretary Red
field recognizes the danger to such enterprises of Europe
an competition when the is over. II shall recommend
in my annual report he says ''that unfair competition
from abroad shall not be permitted to nure legitimate
American industry than it is permitted to do
i'm our domestic field" We have law against unfair
petton among industries of the United States but
against unfair competition with industries by the in
ldustries of Europe.
If the cost of production great in Europe
it is in the United States, then antidumpng law would
be sufficient but the fact in many lines the cost of manu-
acur in Europe is less because wages there much
less than they in the United States.

chairman of the democratic national committee, out

other great democrats favored tariff for protection He
contended that the republican party had right to
nopoy of the doctrine of protection But his attitude
seems not to have convinced the Wilson administration
which has proposed the only remedy federal law
|gainst dumping" by foreign countries.
Secretary Redfeld says he has frank preference for

1t is becoming increasingly evident that the next

republicans will have effective lessons the merit of the
