We will have very large amount
of Europe's gold; Europe will of
necessity make every possible eff
fort to get back that gold and she
will find that her easiest way---in
fact, almost her only way--will
lie in the direction of selling us
manufactured goods at prices low
enough to win back the gold SHE
has lost.
This will require her to use
men In her factories at low wages,
but those men will not consider IL
hardship to exchange the
trenches where they have been
working for a few cents day, on
short ratiOns, for factories where
they will get better wages, beds
to sleep on, protection for their
lives and three meals day.
On the other hand, our men
over here will consider 1t a hard
ship to give up the high wages
they are now getting for making
war materials and accept lower
wages for making materials used
i'm times of peace.
1t seems to me that this phase
of the matter is of the utmost i'm
portance to our laboring classes,
and IL our government we're alive
to this situation and eager to look
after the welfare of it's laboring
classes it would at this very mo-
ment be taking some action to
prevent this impending catas-
trophe.
In my judgment, one of the
ways to prevent it is by immedi-
ately giving us a permanent, ex-
pert, non-partisan tariff commits
sion which will be in constant ses-
sion, taking up the tariff item by
item, without regard to whether II
should be high or low. and purely

for two reasons: first, we were operating under a
new tariff-the Wilson tariff-which was seriously
handicapping us in competition for foreign
trades second through governmental policies, opin-
ions and court rulings the corporation question had
become so mudded that business men were unable to
find out how they could legally do business on large
scale

new enterprises and was forced to adopt policy OF
