URGE A BETTER
AUSTRALIAN
SERVICE

Robert Newton Lynch. yice-presi.
dent and manager Of the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce, has ad.
dressed letter to Secretary Redfield
of the department OF commerce at
Washington, in which the urgent need
for increased steamship facilities be
tween Pacific points. Australia and
United States possessions in the Pa.
eific, so that our exporters and i'm
porters may develop greater volume
of trade in those routes, is pointed
cut.
In discussing the subject with ex-
porters and importers on the Pacific
coast of the United States. Mr. Lynch
says it was learned that there are
two factors which prevent not only
an increase in our commerce with
Australia and New Zealand. but
threaten the commerce already Sc
cured in the past, viz, the proposed
Increase in Australian import duties
and threatened preferential duties in
favor of Canada, and the lack of prop
er transportation facilities.
THE first of these factors is now
being handled by the Department of
State says Mr. Lynch, land the sec
ond insufficient transportation ia
cilities) can and. in our opinion
should be remedied by the United
States government.

Suppose there are men in the Unit

some. or perhaps all, of the pet repu.

public to each individual in the army?
Where did these notorious characters
come from? Did they net hail from
your ranks, Mr.. Civilian? And since
these characters left your ranks did
you have TO close all the courts Of JUS
tice on account CT a elimination Of
crime? Have you had to close all
your jails throughout the country on
account of dearth Of crime? Have
ycu DISCHARGED all your officers OF the
law? If not, fail to see why, unless
they are retained for the purpose of
rounding Up the soldiers when they
come TO town.
According TO the press and the rec
ords or the courts throughout our vast

Washington, D. G. Nov. In ont
year the American people must decide
how they shall meet national crisis.
\ Senator Reed Smoot. member of the
Senate Finance Committee, made this
statement today as a comment upon
the national defense program.
s"As now proposed" said Senator
Smoot, "the proposed national defense
program involves an expenditure of
more than one billion dollars; the ex
penditures, however. to cover period
of five years. That expenditure must
be- financed.

question voters must answer one year
later. 1t is grave responsibility.
thoroughly believe that there can be,
and will be, but one course to pursue.
That is to elect Republican President
and Republican Congress.
THE Republican party is the only
one that in policy and performance has
proven adequate to meet such a situa.
ton. Considered from every angle the
Democratic party has demonstrated its
inability and unfitness for the task.
.Remember that the balance of trade
against US during the four months pre-.
ceding the war, at q time when Demo.
cratic policies and laws were in effect,
was $24S, 900, 600. What a political bless
ing the war was to the Democratic
party.
s,.In two yearssther Democrstic Nd
ministration has produced such bust.
ness conditions that. bgtlfor the purelys
occidental stimulus Of foreign war,
we would now be in the throes of
panic. Eliminate the market created
by temporary artificial European de
mands, and American industry would
be Frustrated.
Past history has proven the only
way the Democratic party, when in
power, has been able to meet the ex.
travagant appropriations made by them
for the ordinary running expenses Of
the government, was by the sale of
bonds. A bond issue is inevitable
whether national defense program is
undertaken or not.
I'm two years the Democratic admins
tration has passed scores of worthless
laws. The insertion of meaningless
phrases in statutes, the constant viola.
ton of the simplest legislative rules,
have brought about more costly and
needless federal litigation than we have
ever known before
lin two years the Democratic ad.
ministration has created an enormous
deficit in our treasury, and has not ad
vanced single plan for meeting 1t.
The proposed re. enactment of the sugar
duty and the war tax law only retains
present revenues. Bond issues are moth.
ing but loans that must be paid for in
the future.
The, Democratic party has not a
policy in its platform, law to it's
credit, nor plan to propose, that will
meet the financial crisis inevitably i'm.
posed by the national defense program.
IA return of the Republican party to
power seems to me not only national |
necessity but a foregone conclusion"
