NOME ALASKA, MARCH 26, 1917.

Following the announcement of peace proposals, Judge Gary gave an interview to the New York American. It interests every citizen of the Uni ted States, and particularly those | that work with their hands-aborers and skilled mechanics. Business men mus. remember that after this war when they deal with anybody in England they will deal with the English government, in France with the French government. in Ger many with the German government
 The nations will act as business units. The biggest of our industrial combinations will be trifing in strength compared with a business monopoly made up of an entire Euro pean nation.
 We shall need big business units, properly encouraged as well as prop erly regulated in this country
 We shall need government encour- agement and cooperation to compete with the great government enterprises of Europe. We need above all pro- lection for our working people Read carefully this quotation from Judge Gary's interview:
 The purchasing power of a large part of the whole world will have been very greatly reduced. Foreign countries which are now buying our products because compelled will with draw their patronage in a large meas ure.
 "Other non producing countries will find their financial resources and cred producers in great need will strive more diligently than ever to supply the countries that are financially able to pay and at prices based on cheap labor and low cost, as they have a perfect right to do.
 Our producers, including our wage earners. will find themselves in com mercial antagonism with the most per sistent and difficult competition ever experienced, unless this shall be pre- vented by laws that tre reasonable and sufficient. Most of the foreign producing countries, and quite likely II of them, will be thor IuShly pro- tected by tariff provisions ana we -aould be on a parity with them in his respect,
 "I firmly believe, if the present un- protective tariff laws remain u1- c,;nhed, we shall probably meet wi.h competition from foreign sources af- tei the war closes whi will ad- vel isely and perhaps disa jtroas'y at- feet American industry and American l1bol.

and the beginning of the war"
 The end of the war finds the other nations weakened. in desperate need of money. compelled to work at any price. compelled especially to con- centrate attention upon this rich country.
 Unless we have protection in Am erica for our workmen they will find themselves in direct competition with the millions of men released from the armies-men that must work for what they can get. and compete with us a: any price.
 The money is here and Europe will send her products her manufactured articles, here to get that money.
 Every well-informed man knows that war alone saved this nation from the hardest kind of hard times, due to lack of tariff protection.
 There were big concerns in the United States that were actually do- ing business at a loss just before the war. This they did rather than allow foreign competition to lbreak up their organizations here and take business away from them. Blu. they woold not long continue that.
 After the war" the greatest attack in history will be made upon :he re- sources. the markets, the workers of the United States.
 This country and the workers with in it will need the wall of tariff pro- lection as much as Holland needs her dykes.
 And if We don't have the wall we shall be industrially drowned.
 We are facing a period in which :heoriziag, sentimental free trade for humanitly's sake" talk will be out of place and in which partisan talk of democracy the low tariff party" will also be out of place.
 As Europe finishes her war of can- non and sabers, we shall have forced upon us a war of industry. and we shall need preparation and determia- ation to keep the prosperity and es- pecially to keep our own people em- ployed
