WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-TWO feat.
ures in the international trade Of the
United States during the past two
years, serve to emphasize the serious
detrimentf which the Underwood tariff
law is working to the industries Of
this country.
One is the tremendous gain in i'm
ports ofiforelgn goods ediately fol:
lowing tine passage Of the low tariff
law the other is the constantly in
creasing volume ofigoods pouring into
the markets Of the United States from
the countries not atswar.
Again OF si22 600 900 In imports OF
foreign goods from all countries in q
period OF seven months Immediately
preceding the European war, and a
gain during the first seven months OF
1915 of 1852 900, 900 in imports from
countries not at war, serves to show
the advantage which, the low tariff law
gives to foreign producers.
Secretary Redfield Of the Commerce
Department has issued many fancifnl
statements S"about our great balance
of trade. The Secretary and other
Eapologists for the Und derwood tarlti
have insisted that merican Industries
have been protected as i'by q high
wall from foreign goods sby The war
In Europe. They point 10 the general
decrease in all imports while calling
attention TO the great gain In exports
during the present year compa dSwith
the decline in the aggregate importa.
tion of foreign good 3! d
81 These defenders of the Underwood
tariff take no note sof the great diff.
ference between "a protective wall
forced by war, and an adequate pro
tective tariff law. The war protect
ion"demoralizes: trade, and ,industry,in
the 9wardeyastateds countries and cur.
tails purchases of American goods, ex.
cept such as are absolutely necessary.

ThatAthere Is an insistent demand
for modification in the Underwood tar.
iff, and "a return to protection, Is due
to the damage that law is infiicting
upon American industries, independ.
ent Of the war. Two years Of experience
with the law, as one may discover
from a study OF trade, statistics, have
proved disastrous. Why? Because sales
of foreign goods Iii American markets
have increased, and, except for aug
mented sales OF foodstuffs and war
materials, exports Of American goods
to foreign markets have decreased in
volume. This is especially; true Of the
countries not at war, anl these coun.
tries present the conditions. best suit
ed for study, because In the warning
countries too many conditions are pre-
sened having oireal bearing upon the
trade In the normal times of peace.

trade conditions under the present: low

In the south the French assert they
have inflicted considerable losses on
the Bulgarians, who are reported to
have been thrown back on the right

The only political development OF

that Greece must maintain policy of
benevolent neutrality. &
Along the east front there is evi.

Russian offensive. This is indicated
by official reports from both sides, al.
though neither claim any important
results from the operations. Definite
reports concerning the progress of the
