More Democratic vaciIIation.

President Wilson having changed
his mind on every public question con-
sidered by him in the last Ave years.
his change of direction in regard to
tariN commission should not surprise
anyone who has watched the White
House weathervane since his inaugur-
alton. In 1912, addressing the Eco
nomtc Club at New York city, Mr..
Wilson said: 1T is hard for any man
who has ever studied economics at all
to restrain a cynical smile when he IS
told that an intelligent body of his
fellow citizens are looking for the
cost of production as basis for tariff
Hesitation. 1t does not exist
as a scientific, demonstrable datum
fact
By 1915 he had changed his attitude
on this subject, and in his Indianapolis
speech, referring to the newly organ
lied Federal Trade Commission. he
said. January Sth: That commission
is authorized and empowered 10 IN
uuire into and report to Congress not
only upon all the conditions of trade
in this country, but upon the condl-
tons of trade, cost of manufacture,
in foreign countries as well
as in the United States
Since that time the Federal Trade
Commission, as we'll as the Depart
ment of Commerce, has undertaken
investigations as to the cost of pro-
duction in certain lines of industry
beet sugar, hosiery. pottery. muslin
underwear, etc. The reports of the
Commerce Department have been de-
voted mainly to accusing American
manufacturers of not knowing theH
business. while the results of the beet
sugar investigation by the Commits
sion have been pigeon holed because
thew refuted Democratic statements
in regard to the cost of producing beet
sugar.
Jealous Of their spheres of intlu-
ence. considerable animosity is said
to have been engendered between the
Commission and the Department.
Despite the statement of Mr.. Wilson
that trade Investigations come within
the purview of the Commission. Mr.
Redfield is clamoring loudly to Con-
gress for additional appropriations
which will enable his department to
go into further Investigations of this
sort. Mr.. Redfeld and the chairman
of the Commission are also at odds as
to how the problem of dumping is to

while DR.. E. f. Pratt. the statistical

pense threatens to throw Mr.. Redfield
into a total eclipse. takes issue with
his chief and declares that the fear of
dumping in the future is without
foundation.
Chairman Davies. Secretary Red
field, and DR.. Pratt having disagreed
that great business specialist, DR.
Wilson, is called in, although he once
declared. Il am not business man.
His letter to Ex-Governor Cox of Ohio
discouraged the use of tariff com =
mission as a remedy, but, mercy. that
was three months ago, and Woodrow's
mind is never so agile as before a
campaign. Why therefore. should we
wonder if he prescribes for business a
diet of tariff commission. especially in
view of the fact that by so doing he
might gain the support of the ir-
reconcilable George Perkins.
