BRITAIN CLOSES FREE TRADE DOOR AGAINST
MANUFACTURERS FROM AMERICA

NoTed american SoClologlSt, curing
Europe for The Day Book to De-
scribe Conditions That Will Have
a Bearing on Peace Terms and
Relations After the War.
London, Eng, Aug. 3.-If for one
moment you could get out of your
mind the endless horrors of this
business of methodicaIIy killing so
many men a day, which is all there
is to modern warfare, you could have
more fun than a box of monkeys
just watching the solemn-sided gents
who imagine peace will brings things
back to where they were two years
ago.
Tell them to forget it. Things will
never be the same again.
This battered old ship, The
World, has drifted a million miles
from the old moorings and will never
be found again anywhere near the
familiar ATTITUDES.
Things are going to be so different
on board it will seem like another
ship.
For instance, if there was any in
stitution that seemed to be fixed
among human affairs it was the free
trade policy of Great Britain. For a
generation prOdigious efforts had
been made to move it and it hadn't
budged any more than Gibraltar
Well, it's all off now. British free
trade has gone gIimmering. From
this time on Great Britain is a pro-
tectionist country.
Not in name. 1t will be called
something else, of course, for the art
of modern craftsmanship is to do
one thing and call it by the name of
another. But the essence Of the sys-
TEN will be the protective principle,
now and hencefOTth.
am not saying whether this will
be wise or foolish, good or bad, for
tunate or disastrous. l am merely
recording the cold fact.

taxation. With the rest. import du-
tets were extended and increased. In
extending them heed must be paid to
"the equalizing of trade balances"
which is to say, keeping down imports
from countries where Great Britain
was accommodating Indebtedness.
There was absolutely no choice
about this. 1T had to be done. And
the moment it was done the prOtec-
ton camel got head, neck and fore
quarters inside the tent.
The rest of him lunged in when in
the name Of this same trade bal
ance" necessity the aIl-powerful gov
eminent fell to prohibiting altogeth-
er certain lines of imports.
This was called keeping money
at home where it is needed"
But in selecting the articles to be
excluded the government never over
looked the fact that British manu-
facturers were making the same ar
ticles and would be enormously BEN
Gifted if foreign competition were
choked of.
Among the articles prohibited con-
slider these:
Automobiles and parts thereof,
hardware and most manufactures of
metal lawn mowers, cotton yarn and
manufactures of cotton, carpet
sweepers, canned and preserved
fruits and vegetables not coming
from a British colony, wooden and
,worsted goods, furniture, hollow
ware, sewing machines, soap, sugar,
tobacco not coming from British
colony, wringers, gramaphones and
pianolas, machine tools, leather ex-
cept betting, boots and gloves, most
kinds of American woods and tip-
bers and some kinds of drugs.
Generally speaking, these are
lines in which British manufacturers
had been up against severe American
competition, of which they are now
entirely relieved.

AN ECHO OF DEAD DAYS

New York Evening Post: Mr..
Hughes continues to make his refer
ences to the protective tariff vague
and perfunctory. But that is the
most. disquieting thing about it. The
republican candidate talks as if this
were the campaign Of 1888. He quiet
ly takes the fetch view Of protection.
Its workings are mysterious, but in
it alone lies our national salvation.
The truth appears to be that this is a
question into which Mr.. Hughes has
never looked with care, and that he
simply assumes the orthodox high
protection position in which he was
politically bred. He seems oblivious
of all that has happened since 1896
forgets the changed attitude of Nc
Kinley himself; ignores the rupture
which the high tariff caused in the
repub lican party in 1909; overlooks
the Winona speech of Taft and it's
disastrous consequences; puts aside
the whole question of "scientifc'
tariff making by the aid Of an expert
commission, which has so come to the
front in recent years, and merely
falls back on the antiquated concep-
ton of a miracle-working protection.
On this subject Mr.. Hughes will
doubtless do better, before the cam
paign is over. Frankly, he couldn It
do worse.

New London. Conn.,, Sept. Z. 49, The
formal opening of tho discussion of

Secretary Lane and his associates

the Mexican delegates.
While the subject of the withdraw
IL OF the american troops from Mex

mutation of a protocol to cover future
military operations along the border
will be disposed of first, it appears
certain that assurances by the Car
ranza government of full protection
for tho rights of Americans in Mexico
will hold an equally important place
IN the eyes Of the American commis-'
pioners.
