PRESENT TARIFF LAW
NOT STRONG ENOUGH

if duties against an important prod
uct Of manufacture Of this country.
Upon assurance that the discrimina-
ton would be promptly and satisfac-
torily adjusted, that country was CIV
EN- the benefit of IL minimum tar
ifs. The diplomatic negotiations
dragged for six years before the
promises were finally fulfilled, and
meanwhile the unwarranted discriml-
nation had wiped out II trade in
that product with that country. The
administration then had the choice OF
penalizing all imports from that coun-
try to the extent of twenty-five per
cen ad valorum, or Of permitting
such unjust discrimination because of
the absence of an adequate remedy.
Our tariff act today permits any
foreign country to unduly discrimi-
nate In any manner it may see ft
against any article or merchandise
that may be imported from this coun
try into theirs, except in two In
stances which provide automatic pen
alizations where such duties as po-
tatoes and wheat and wheat products
have imposed upon them a duty when
imported from the United States"
at may be claimed" Mr.. gilbert
son said, chat reciprocal tariff mea-
sures will remove discriminatory ten
denotes, but in the case cited of our
negotiations with the Dual Monarchy
the moral effect of the reciprocal ar
rangement was nil.
THE remedy should be found Ell
Their in establishing automatic penal
ization or by empowering the presi-
dent to impose such penalty as shall
insure speedy and permanent correc-
ton of trade discrimination against
us by other countries"

he Is of the opinion that the words,
III 1t is possible" the to be interpo-
lated or read into the paragraph.
With the article in this revised form,
as he is morally convinced 1t should
| be, he finds every phase of submarine
warfare justifiable.
Professor Niemeyer opens his bro
chure with the following foreword:
Ever since North American diplo-
! macy has sought to impair the glor-
lous deeds OF our submarines by their
! notes and to harm them by interna-
tional complications. the anxiety that
a strategic advantage will be torn
from our hands without opposition
has hung over the German people ike
a black cloud. We hope, however,
that our submarines will not be Of
fered up on the altar OF waste
through halfway measures to suit for
eigners. We express our complete
confidence in our heroic submarine
commanders and crews, with the as
surance that the German people with
out exception stand behind them,
filled with admiration and gratitude,
so long as a drop of blood still flows,
so long as a hand draws the sword"
The writer earnestly disputes the
contention that international law has
been smashed to bits in the present
war. He maintains rather that it Is,
slanr'y expressed, bent but not brok-
en-. There has not been as large a
proportion of offenses against it, he
says, as against criminal law the
| world over.
After presenting many reasons why
the submarine might be considered
| unamenable to existing laws because
1t is new. he declares that this view
| after all is untenable and insists that
the U-boat will have to continue its
| operations under present statutes un-
til new ones are created after the
war.
He complains on the one hand that
international law as it now stands Is
full Of holes" and too elastic" but
| finds in these very facts justification
for many OF the acts of submarines.
In support of his contention he
quotes many phrases which he terms
vague, and which, he says, are con-
strued in one way by America, in
another by England and in still a
third by Germany. In this connec-
ton he takes a tilt at American jur-
%isprudence.
About the middle Of his brochure
he seems to despair Of convincing
America that he is right and Ameri-
cans wrong. for he says:
at is, | fear, easier for a camel to
pass through the eye of a needle than
for a genuine American really to UNI
derstand a German or even a Dutch
man or a Norwegian, when one Of
them insists that. according to the
| character of the war and the char
acter of international law governing
warfare, the true inwardness Of the
legal basis or status of val changes"

trouble concerning their schools.
About ten years ago he moved 10
Union district and located at Good
Hope, and near FIVE years ago was
elected a member Of the board OF
education. In the first part OF his
term Of service, the board established
a high school at West Milford. 1t
being the only town in the district
where a high school could be estab-
lished according to law. And as the
school was progressive, the board
made an appropriation Of something
like $4,000 to build additional rooms
to the school building, and as our
friend Mr.. Castor had not had any
trouble IN the school business since
he moved to Union district. he
thought 1t was time he was starting
something, so he ~entangled the rest
Of the board in a law suit. and lost
the money that was appropriated for
building purposes. Ever since the
high school has been established It
has occupied three rooms Of the
grades, and has been shifted from
one place TO another in an abandon
ed church or any place they could
rent. And this winter they are in

Although the head OF the British

hazard time guess on the duration
of the war. both his public and his
private utterances on the subject in
recent weeks leaves no doubt that he
stands with every other Britisher
whose opinion is at all worth consid-

honest belief that the war will 60 on

many stories of likelihood of an
early separate peace with Russia, or

without foundation, I am firmly con-
yinced. Even in the event Of the re-
mote possibility that one or more Of
the allies might be persuaded to enter
