Hughes today advocated preparedness
for European competition through the
agency of protective tariff and
branded as a traitor the man who
sought to build up his private fortune
at public expense.
"The man who tried to get the
better of the public for private pur-
poses," he said, 'is traitor to the

put these traitors out OF business

When il became clear that arbitra-
