take notice that Vermont is being en-

democratic policies.
Numerous opponents of prOtec-
tive tariff have been asserting recently
that 1--WE cannot go on indefinitely
selling to other countries more than
we buy from them" The inference
they would have us draw is that since
protective tariff cuts off imports and
encourages exports by building up
home production, we would ultimately
reach the point where we could no
longer find buyers with money to
spend. But those who advance this
theory overlook several important
facts One of these is that sales and
purchases of merchandise do not con-
stitute all of internal trade Payment
for service is another factor; payment
of interest and dividends is a third
factor and expenditures by tourists
fourth. Although we have been an
export nation, with balance of trade
in our favor, we have been a debtor
nation because we paid foreign ship
owners for carrying our merchandise,
we pay huge sums every year as inter-
est and dividends on foreign capital
and our people spend millions every
year touring Europe and the Orient.
If we had not built up a huge trade
balance we would have been bankrupt.
And that explains why American
business was wrecked by democratic
tariff law We were sending large
sums abroad for the three purposes
mentioned, but balancing it with sur
plus exports. The low tariff law
turned the balance of trade against
us and then it was all outgo and no
where industrial bankruptcy con-
frOnted US. The war averted the full
destructive blow that threatened
American business.
"a sharp note of warning is sounded
cOncering the permanence of a large
portion of our present trade with be-
ligerents," says the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, in bulletin
just issued. But you have been mighty
slow sounding the note of warning.
The republican newspapers of the
country have been telling you for
months that this war prosperity is
as unsafe as it is unsOund. There is
not much craftsmanship in a warning

In New York state there is a persis-
tent and widespread public demand
that publicity be given to expense
accounts of state officials who went
to the San Francisco exposition Now
it would be just like some heartless
advocate of ''pitiless publicity to ask
that similar disclosures be made re-
garding federal officials and employees
who made that trip and took advant-
age of the opportunity enroute to tell
the American people of the wonder
full achievements of this administra-
ton.
Announcement that President Will
son fears defeat of his defense plan is
not at all surprising. He was such
recent convert to a national defense
policy and prepared his plans so hur-
riedly that not even the friends of pre-
paredness could be expected to stand
for it. Rome was not built in a day

War Order Prosperity In Vermont.

A report on industrial conditions
in Vermont credits war orders with
present prosperity in that state. The
Windsor Machine company paid div
idends aggregating 125 per cent in
July and October The Robin Hood
Powder company secured large orders,
and the machine companies in Spring
field and Rutland are working on
shrapnel. Another company which
had an offer of a 100000 order for
shrapnel last summer declined it be-
cause women are the pricipal owners
of the stock and opposed the manu-
facture of war munitions. But as
business grew dull in regular lines
and there appeared a necessity for
reducing the force another contract
that was offered was quickly accepted
and the works are now running over
time. Numerous small shops through
out the state are working on munition
