"When the World Revises Tariffs"


Professor Henry C. Emery, a dis
tinguished son Of Maine. formerly
chairman Of the tariff board appoint
ed under a Republican administration,
has an interesting article in the New
York Annalist entitled. when the
World Revises Tariffs" DR.. Emery
discusses the most-favored- nation
clause" and it's Interpretation in
America and in Europe, the American
Interpretation demanding quid pro
quo, while in Europe concession
granted to a third country, under the
clause becomes ipso facto extended to
the other party of the treaty. 1T is
highly proba ble,'' says DR.. Emery.
that this great principle will be aban-
Goncd when the war closes" He
thinks the adoption of the American
Interpretation in Europe will be gen.
eral, and those who have read the pro-
ceedings of the recent trade conference
held in Vienna, looking to a CONNER
cial alliance between Germany and
Austria, after the war, will recall that
looking to this very thing.
DR.. Emery closes his article with
discussion Of a bargaining tariff. by
which fair exchanges may be made.
giving favors in return for favors. He
states it as his conviction that in the
great readjustment after the war the
only way in which we can properly
safeguard our export industries is to
make a wide extension Of this (bar-
gaining) principle so as to be in
position to offer concessions in ex-
change for similar favors.'
One thing is certain. and that is that
no such safeguards can be applied to
our exports under the present Demo-
cratic law. for the reason that there is
nothing remaining in the law with
which to bargain. For instance, near
ly every dollars worth Of goods i'm
ported from South America enters our
ports free of duty. What concession
therefore, could We make to those
countries which would give us a bet
ter chance in their markets? What
have we with which to bargain? The
duties exacted by the Underwood tariff
law on manufactured products are so
low that European countries and
Japan had no difficulty whatever
prior to the warfi in hopping over the
wall and selling in our market. What
concession could we make to them in
return for similar favors under the
present law?
The truth of the matter is that the
Republican policy Of protection not
only encourages industry at home and
provides sufficient Government reve-
nue.. but it makes provision for bar
gaining with other countries and ex-
tending our foreign trade along such
lines as commercial policy may die
tate. having always in mind the best
interests Of our domestic producers.
