On July "a, 1916, Senator Page

Of Vermont criticizing Senator
Page for addressing the Senate,
and declaring that there was no
necessity for his speech because
the bill was not before the Senate,
and would not be acted upon at
this session, concluding with the
query F.: "Why then a speech on
the bill by Senator Page at this
time for any other reason than for
distribution to the voters Of YER
mont for campaign purposes?'
The ignorance Of the writer or
his wilful purpose to deceive must
be apparent. Senator Page deliv-
cred his address upon one of the
greatest pieces Of constructive
legislation before The country, in
the formulation of which he has
given many months OF his earnest
labor and best judgment, and sew
en- days later the bill was passed
by the Senate with the open de-
claration Of Senators, including
Chairman Hoke Smith himself,
that Senator Page was the leader
in this great measure.
Could anything have been done
with more deliberate purpose to
deceive the voters Of Vermont?

COMMERCIAL EDUCATION.

We must educate many of our best
young men for foreign commercial
service. writes F. c. Schwedtman in
American Industries for March. We
must be as thorough in our training
of these men as European nations
have been. The college and the bust
ness office must cooperate efficient
". The young men of North Amer
lea. after adequate preparation, must
be willing to make Central and South
America their home for many years.
they must know the languages of the
countries, and they must go with an
open mind and a broad spirit. We
must also be trained ourselves. In the
mast. there has been disposition on
the part of some of US to consider our
ways, our wares and our judgments
superior to those of other nations.
This prejudice must disappear, and we
must learn to judge ourselves and
others calmly and dispassionately,
that we may clearly understand our
rightful position in world commerce.
Again, we have been a buying nation
for so long that it is difficult for us
to assume the right attitude of a SELL
ing nation. This attitude must be ac-
quired. Our legislators will have to
learn that in international trade gov
eminent cooperation, instead of OPP
position, is a good national policy.
Our banking must be developed as far
as possible in accordance with the
customs and needs of South America,
and with a recognition of the fact that
we cannot hope to sell our manufac-
tured wares to South America unless
we are willing to furnish that CONT
nent a fair share of the capital re-
quired to develop it. Our manufac-
turers must learn to make what is
/ consider best or what they believe may
1 be substituted; our shippers must
/ learn to pack and to ship strictly in
accordance with instructions, that the
smallest detail must be attended to
with scrupulous care; in fact, our
whole nation must be educated to the
understanding that satisfactory inter-
take, live and let live. 1 believe that
in many cases it will require years to
restore management and labor in GER
tain industries to an efficient equi-
librium for permanent success. Com
mercial education in the broader sense
will be an important factor to that
end. Our international commerce in
cereals. meats and other food stuffs
will continue to decrease as our pop
ulation increases. If our export trade
is to acquire a more permanent and
