Support His Claim

East Liverpool, O., Oct. 30.-Charles

day that the $2,000,000,O 900 increase in

statement by Chairman Hurley of the
federal trade commission to uphold
the republican claim that America is
mot prepared for post-bellum competi-
tion with Europe"
That $2,000,000,O00 increase" Mr..
Hughes said. represents almost exclu-
sively the demand created by the
European war. What are we to do?
There is but one safe course. You
cannot have any lasting basis for pros
perity unless you apply the republican
doctrine Of protection to American in
dustries.
II was amazed the other day when
the spokesman for the opposing party
told the people that we were ready
He said in substance that the nations
engaged in this struggle are so wasted
by war that we need not fear their
competition That is very serious
mistake. Let those who speak for the
opposing party take the words Of the
federal trade commission, spoken as a
result Of their own inquiry. What is
the use Of having so-called expert bod
les If we do no pay any attention to
what they say?"
Mr.. Hughes then quoted Chairman
Hurley to the effect that Europe is re-
awakening her industries. that effort
is being made to attain the highest ef-
ficiency in the production, in the dis
tribution and in the use of commodi-
ties Of all kinds that war has compel

not to be caught slow OF mind and
flabby of muscle, the United States
must improve business organization,
must increase manufacturing and mer-
chandising efficiency and must keep
pace with every step in Europe"
The nominee declared that the peo.
pie Of Europe have got better dis
cipline and efficiency in production
than ever before.
Whatever your organization, what.
ever your alertness, you have got to
have your markets protected against
the competition of labor that is paid
less than you are," Mr.. Hughes assert

industry. You cannot run this country

investigation, officials realize, may
disclose that there has been no viola
ton Of German pledges to the United
States.
Nevertheless the first reports, in
complete and transmitted by the
American consul as provisional caus-
ed some uneasiness.
The report on the destruction OF the
Marina refers to the ship as a British
horse transport" If it turns out that
she was in fact in the transport ser
vice of the British government, 1t may
be found that the mixed crew OF Brit
tsh and American horse tenders could
claim none of the immunity against
attack without warning that attaches
to a merchant ship.
Orders were dispatched at once to
gather all information to determine
the status of the Marina and her crew.
Although no American lives were
lost in the submarine attack on the
Rowanmore and the ship altered her
own status II she made an attempt to
escape, officials were disturbed by the
report that the boats were shelled af-
ter they had cleared from the aban-
doned ship. An investigation has been
ordered.
