New-York tribune., 1919-05-21

from these matters, to speak once
more, and very earnestly, of the
proposed amendment to the Consti-
tuition which would extend the suf-
trage to women, and which passed
the House of Representatives at the
last session of the Congress? 1t
seems to me that every considera-
ton of justice and Of public advant-
age calls for the immediate adoption
OF that amendment and its submis-
sion forthwith to the Legislatures of
the several states. Throughout all
the world this long delayed extern
sion of the suffrage is looked for;
IN the United States, longer, | be-
lleve, than anywhere else, the neces-
slty for it, and the immense ad-
vantage of it to the national life.

men and men who saw the need for

Protection against
Infoiy E0n,peti.ion

The United States should, more
over, have the means of properly
protecting itself whenever our trade
is discriminated against By foreign
nations, in order that we may be
assured of that equality of treat
ment which we hope to accord and
to promote the world over Our
tariff laws as they now stand pro-
vide no weapon Of retaliation in case
other governments should enact
legislation unequal lr its bearing on
our products as compared with the
products Of other countries. Though
we are as far as possible from desir-
ing to enter upon any course OF re-
taliation, We must frankly face the
fact that hostile legislation by other
nations is not beyond the range of
possibility, and that it may have to
be met by counter legislation. This
subject mas fortunately been ex-
haustively investigated by the United
States Tariff Commission.
A recent report of that commits
sion has shown very clearly what we
lack, and that we ought to have the
instruments necessary for the as
surance of equal and equitable treat
ment. The attention of the Con-
sress has been called to this matter
on past occasions and the past meas
rres which arc now recommended
by the TariT Commission are sub
stantially tine same that have been
suggested by previous adminstra-
tions. | recommend that this phase
OF the tariff question receive the
early attention of the Congress.
VIII you not permit me, turning
