NeM light is Shed

Recent events have shed new light
on the practice Of selling American
products at one price at home and
at another price abroad. few
years ago there was much criticism
Of some manufacturing concerns
which, in order to keep men em-
ployed and factories running full
capacity, produced more goods than
the home market would absorb and
eSsss the surplus abroad at a re-
Tanced price. The reduced price was
necessary in order to sell the goods

Queer. Now. it appears. the United
states steel corporation is selling
much of its product abroad at
hfrher prices than received at home.
IA the former instance, as at pre-
sent, the foreign sales gave employ
ment to American labor and furnish
ed market for American material.

+..rer had to undereen his foreign
