A REDFIELDIAN SCHEME.

1t is said that not long ago Secre-
tary Redheld, who has been guilty of
many funny gyrations in office, pro-
eeeded TO the White House to sug-
gest a plan TO prevent the dumping"
OF European products on our mar
kets. His proposition was astonish-
ing. yet made in all seriousness, to
the effect to amend the Clayton anti
trust law so as TO prevent the sale or
purchase OF goods in the United
States at a price lower than in the
country of their origin. The absurd
ity OF this scheme is to be found on
even the most cursory examination.
II would benefit none but the middle
men. Obviously, the foreign manu-
facturer cannot be reached by our
statutes, and he may sell his goods
for such price as he may wish to de-
mand. At that price an American i'm
porter buys them; but he is within
our jurisdiction and, under Secretary
Redheld's plan, the goods cannot be
resold here at the lower price. Ac-
eordingly. the importer jacks up the
price. takes the added profit which
Mr.. Redheld would force upon him,
the European manufacturer has
achieved his purpose, and the only
losers are the American consumers
who pay the higher price. the
American manufacturer whose goods
are displaced by the foreign article,
and the American laboring man who
is thereby deprived OF work.
IL is typical OF most Democratic
suggestions regarding policies OF vital
interest to the nations welfare. and il
lis but another in the long series Of
incidents demonstrating Democratic
incapacity and asserting the necessity
of placing the constructive work Of
legislation and administration once
more in the capable hands Of Repub-
lican statesmen.

away as one could get from .hese
essential conditions. II Il not a
business which can be easily co-or-
dinated in a single, all-extensiye
government system. There is in
the business no monopollstic ele-
nent. The operations OF such an
enterprise are variable and ex-
tremely complex. Great difficulty
viii be found in checking up fail
ure and laxity, and the capital ex-
penditure needed TO float and TO
keep up such an activity Is ex-
tremely heavy and remarkably
difficult TO forecast accurately.

deficit OF $3.50 900. 900 from 1887 10
1912. II is stated that the purchase
OF the British telegraph lines has
resulted in a loan OF Sl75.0O0, 900
and that the purchase has been an
unmitigated commercial failure.
Looking over the financial results
of state owned industries, Il would
seem that a United States gov

a financial white elephant" OF the

President Wilson says IF pri-
waite capital cannot enter" Many
believe that the principal Kind
rance to the establishment by pri-
waite enterprise of an American
merchant marine is the fear that
government competition or unwise
legislation and restriction will
make success problematical.
AS the present administration is
apparently insistent on this ques-
ton, II is interesting TO note Presi-
dent Wilson's own words in his
book, The State" relative to gov
