 The throwing up of tariff barriers for which the farmers plead will, in the end, not only fall to accomplish its purpose-the bettering of the farmers condition-but will do the very opposite. And the crux of this nisconception lies in the failure of the advocates of the Emergency Tariff Bill to realize that this coun- try has been transformed from a debtor to the leading creditor na- ton of the world

have not accomplished the most fn- portant of all - mental readjust- ment to the stubborn and inescapa- ble facts in the case.
 Rail rates are unquestionabiy too high in instances, not only for the welfare of business generally, but also for the best interests of the railroads themselves. There they should be reduced. But the farm CTS and business men who are clam- bring for & general readjustment shoula realize that they are de mandIng drastic action on the part of the Interstate Commerce Com mission which would mean financial disaster to the railroads and event ually to the commerce Of the country.
 It should be evident to all that to reduce rates without first reducing railroad operating costs would be calamitous Operating costs, how ever, cannot be greatly lowered so long as 63 per cent of railroad revenue is absorbed In wages, as entrusted with only 43 per cent in 1917. So. In the final analysis the farmers quarrel is not with the railroad arrangements but with or ganized railroad labor, which is op- posing a reduction in the largest item of operating cost and thereby penalizing the farmer and all other producing interests in the country.
 At the level established by the in-

creased wage award of 1920 rail- road wages represented an increase of 130 per cent over 1915, while the cost Of living, as estimated by the National Industrial Conference Board, was only 90 per cent. above the cost of living figure for 1915.
 The annual return on railroad in- vestment for the last eleven years proves that the railroads did not profiteer during the war and after-war periods. On the contrary, their return steadily declined, while the earnings of railroad employees were mounting by no less than two billion dollars Tn three years. This increase in payroll was to compen- sate for the increase in the cost of living. But the railroad investor was not only compensated in the same depreciated dollar that the workingman found to be worth only fifty cents in purchasing power, but the investor received fewer dollars. Railroad dividends declined from an aggregate of three hundred and twenty million dollars in 1917 to

, commodities merits a preferential rediscount rate, the fundamental
 mistake lies in the effort to bring
 political pressure to bear on the
 Federal Reserve Board, which should be as free from such consid- eratiens as the United States Su- preme Court. The policies of the Federal Reserve Board must be de- terInined by the economic factors alone.
 The passage of the bin which proposes to limit interest rates of the Federal Reserve Banks would automatically revive currency infia- ton and deprive the Federal Re serve Banks of all power they now possess for controlling inlation. The inevitable result would be to recreate conditions which could pre- cipitate money panics, one Of the chief things the Federal Reserve System was designed to prevent

| over our surplus supplies The fu- ture prosperity of the country de bends largely upon our activities in foreign fields of commerce, and a policy so archaic and provincial as to shut off our commercial inter course with the world cannot rem edy the unfavorable conditions against which we are now fighting.
 A systematic campaign to bring about lower Federal Reserve dis count rates and to increase the vol ume Of our currency has been launched The specific objectives sought are a general decrease in re- discount rates based on farm com modities from to per cent and an increase of one and three-quar- ter billion dollars In Federal Re serve Notes.
 There has also been referred to the House Committee on Banking a bill which would limit the interest chargeable by the Federal Reserve Banks to per cent per annum.
 Wholly aside from the question of whether paper based on farm

and more thrift, not more inffattons are demanded in this country today.
 We must not take a backward
 step We must go on with the nee essary readjustments until they
 have been completed. We cannot have stabilized conditions other wise. Our farmers must remember
 that, while they have borne tha
 brunt Of defated prices so far
 and the average price paid to tho producers of the principal crops in this country on April l was 58 per
 cent lower than 8 year ago--tha forthcoming crop will be raised cheaper than the last by about 25i per cent The supply of farm labor
 in April was 95 per cent normal a8
 compared with 72 per cent in Aprils
 1920, and s4 per cent in April, 1919. and wages are from 25 to 35 per
 cent less than last year.
 In the end the farmer will profit most by not seeking to increase the price of his products by artificial means and economically unsound devices, but by exerting his powers to effect a readjustment of com modity prices and production costs to a fair, stabilized basis. His trou- ble today is chiefly maladjustment, and the solution of the problem is balanced readjustment. The farmer has most to gain finally by produc- Ing as much primary wealth as his land will yield. Prosperity Is essen rially based on production
 And if the period of defiation through which we are passing has taught our business men anything 1t should have impressed upon them the absolute necessity for adequate financial reserve to take care of tha t1ean" years that follow the fiat" years. Many business interests have depended too much on tha banks in the last year to meet ex- ceptionaI situations because those interests did not have foresight to create sufficient surplus for just such edgencies as occurred and were long foreshadowed.
 We must also understand the ne- ceSSlLy LndL TSSlS Apou all OA us to work out our salvation on basis of, Our principal difficulty is hat all of US have not visualized hat cardinal fact
 But, after all. the enactment of tariff legislation, tha changing of taxes. the return to in- fation, the reduction of railroad 'ates and other similar measures .dvocated today as panaceas of our ills cannot solve our prob em. They could not materially bet CT domestic conditions even were Ill of them sound and safe-which hey are not-because the real req ;on for our present depression lies n international economic paralysis Dur task, therefore, Is to help speed world stabilization, and the sooner Fe appreciate the duty as well as the quicker will we dis- ;ipate the depression that retards business activities in this country.

 TN HE fact that we Americans
 have not awakened to the
 complete meaning Of our new place in world affairs and of the reactions here of inter- national economic forces Is made evident on every hand. Only very recently, for instance farmer or ganizations petitioned the President and the Interstate Commerce Com mission to readjust railroad rates to pre-war basis and they have brought pressure to bear on Congress to pass an emergency tariff. The farmers have also sought the Presidents aid for general decrease in Federal Reserve Bank rediScount rates based on farm commodities and a large increase in Federal Reserve notes. A bill has been introduced In the house of representatives proposing to limit the interest chargeable by the Federal Reserve banks.
