Dumping

Congress has a serious problem to
face in providing adequate laws
against dumping" Dumping is the
selling of a product in a foreign
country at a lower price than it is
sold at home. In the rebuilding Of
Europe, which must follow the war.
the United States, in all probability,
will be the object of a dumping cam
paign by foreign nations. If this
should happen, the markets Of this
country would be demoralized. The
United States is rich. Foreign ma
tons, broken in fortune, by every
trick of trade, will attempt to rebuild
their fortunes at the expense of the
United States. Canada, South Africa
and Australia have laws to prohibit
dumping. The necessity for adequate
laws for the United States is an I'm
mediate one.

A remarkable feature Of the annual
report of Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo is the presentation of three
special reports by mercantile agen-
cies, testifying to the restoration Of
Industrial prosperity. These reports
were made at the request Of the Sec
rotary himself Two deductions arc
almost unavoidable: first, Mr.. McAdoo
doubted whether the American people
would believe that prosperity has re-
turned unless he so informed them in
his report; and, second, he doubted
whether they would accept the state
ment on his own authority, and, there
fore, backed it up by the testimony
Of three mercantile agencies. This is
certainly not very complimentary
either to the intelligence Of the Amer
lean people or TO the reputation of
Mr. McAdoo. We are certainly in a
sad state of affairs If the American
people do not know they are enjoying
prosperity unless they are informed
by official reports. We are also in a
bad way if reliance cannot be placed
upon the statements Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury unless confirmed by
private agencies, selected by himself
for corroborative purposes. We re-
peat, this is remarkable feature Of
an annual report Of Secretary Of the
Treasury.

Postmaster General Burleson says
that in the past few years the postal
system has entered upon a still broad
er service to the people, and he cites
the postal savings system and the par
eel post as instances. Thanks, Mr.
Burleson. Both of these measures
were passed by republican congresses.
The postal savings law was enacted
with your opposition. The parcel post
was enacted without any evidence
whatever of your active support. You
opposed one and if you helped in the
other there is nothing in the record
to show it. In fact, every vote in op-
position to the postal savings bank
was cast by democrat. Still, we
can forgive your opposition in the
past since you now acknowledge the
merit of republican legislation.

When the democrats look over their
record and think Of the campaign
ahead of them, they doubtless would
like to induce the American voters
to "let-by-gones be by-gones."
Now the question is, what will be
the next subject upon which President
Wilson will change his mind?
The continental" army, to which
President Wilson seems so devotedly
attached, is a scheme for which none
of his military advisers has yet been
willing to assume responsibility. 1t
is coming to be believed that the plan
came from the President himself, and
that he. in turn, took it from Lord
