as well as Germany's settlement in
the terms of the Versailles treaty.
France feels she must have a large
army and the fact that Great Britain
has fallen into line with Secretary
Hughes ideas for reduction of arma-
ment has not helped the feeling be-
tween those two countries. But that is
what the conference is for and by the
time it is ended a real understanding
will have been reached. 1t now looks
as if Premier Lloyd George of Eng
land will come to this country; he
may even be on his way by this time.
And the suggestion of our President
has had more to do with his final de-
cision to come than any other one
thing. He knows that now is the time
to get together as sane, sensible, bus
mess men. No alliances are necessary,
in the first place, and the world knows
that the United States will not enter
one.
"Our fathers established this coun-
try on policy of keeping out of alli-
ances and the world is no different

cannot tie ourselves to Europe by
rash promises, but we can act with
them, the same as business men get
together, and try to reach an under
standing that will benefit not only
ourselves but the whole world"

THOUGHTS ON THE TARIFF

Political economy, like the study oi
statistics, is regarded by many-par-
ticularly the man in the street-as a
dismal science, a dry-as-dust cOllec-
ton of theories and theses, mostly of
a dilettante character.
It should be ever borne in mind
that political economy is not an exact
science,-never can be in the very ma
ture of things,-for it is subject to
the book of experience which gives
new lessons with the constant changes
in human conditions and relations.
Experiment is at work today through
out the world more than ever before,
and hence the altered needs and satis-
factions of the trading public, as well
as of the producing agents and agen-
cies.
History shows us conclusively the
Importance of arriving at equitable
policies in regard to the regulation of
trade and industry. Daniel Webster
declared that:
"The Protection of American la
Dor against the injurious compe-
tition of foreign labor, so far at
least as respects general handi-
craft productions, is known his
torically to have been one end
designed to be obtained by estab-
fishing the Constitution"
The very first act Of the COnstitu-
tional Congress was to pass the Tar
iff law of July 4, 1889, establishing
specific and ad valorem duties.
The policy of Protective duties was
affirmed in 1889, and between that
date and 1922 several additional Tar
iff Acts were passed.
Up to 1916 Protection obtained; in
that year Free Trade policy was
adopted, which led to seven 'lean
years." in which gloom seemed to
settle on the country. It was a period
of great and widespread desolation, !
but was followed by one Of unpreced-
ented prosperity when a new Protec-
tive Tariff law was enacted.
A reduction of duties in 1888 inau-
gurated another epoch of disaster, as
again in 1846, whereas in 1912 Pro-
tective Tariff promoted increase in all
Of the country.

GOVERNMENT NOW AID
ING EX-SERVICE MEN

L. P. Hudson, Administrative Off
Ger of the Delaware Branch of thC
Veterans Bureau recently made 6
trip through the state in behalf Oi
the work being carried on by the gov
ernment in their effort to see that all
disabled veterans of the world wal
are receiving proper attention. Mr..
Hudson stated that the recent con-
sOlidation of the Federal Board for
Vocation Education, the United
State Public Health Service and the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance into
one central organization known as the
Veterans Bureau was apparently an
excellent move as the results being
obtained are quite satisfactory.
According to Mr.. Hudson, approx
imately nine hundred of Delaware's
former fighting men are now receiv-
ing attention from the government,
many of whom are receiving vocation
al training and are rapidly preparing
themselves to become self sustaining
and again take their place among
our cOuntry's producers.
At the University of Delaware there
are one hundred and fifteen men, VO-
cational handicapped due to their
service, who are receiving
training that will eventually enable
them to resume the Independent posi-
ton they enjoyed before they took
their stand in defense Of what they
believed to be right and just. The
not only pays their tuit-
ion at the University but allows them
pay at the rate of $1O0 month
" with certain additional allowance
or dependents.
Not only are men given institutional
continued Mr.. Hudson, but
hey are also trained along industrial
ines, providing their past experience
md their own desire leans in that di-
'ection.

! big conference running so smoothly
in Washington, with greater gains
made toward limiting armament than
ever before, President Harding no
doubt felt that if nations could get to-
gether so well this time they could
do it again, provided they were not
tied hand and foot by lot of rules.
He put out the suggestion while the
conference is in session so that dis
cussiOn of the idea could be started,
thereby getting the ball rolling to-
ward that ultimate, but far away
point, world peace.
Another big fact is that this new
idea would include ALL COUNTRIES,
even Germany and Russia, (when
Russia becomes a stable goVernment).
Invitations would be sent out just as
they were for the present conference
and the various countries could send
representatives or not, just as they
wished. In other words, no strings
owuld be attached to the invitation
and nObody's feelings hurt if they
didn't come. BUT-(and children that
little word is always big but in this
case bigger than ever) no nation
would care to stand aside from such
meetings. Nine times out of ten, NOR
al force is greater than the sword,
particularly in these times when the
world is sick of war. The people who
make up the various countries would
not stand long for those in power who
would refuse to join in a discussion
of matters such as are now being |
talked over in Washington. That is |
the great power behind such meet
ings as the one in Washington and |
those suggested for the future by our
President. It isn't a matter of form
ing club such as the League of Ma
tions that gives one country six times
the power of another so that the
gathering ends in putting something
over 1t is simply a proposition of
asking nations to get together and talk
over serious matters, leaving it to
moral force such as is being display
ed today throughout the world, to
sway the meeting into the right chan
lel.

From the Morrill, Protective Tariff in
1861 to the Mckinley Tariff in 1891, on
to the Dingley Tariff in 1897 and the
Payne Tariff in 1909, the periods in
which a Protective policy has been in
operation are synchronOus with pros
perity and progress, while the years
in which Free Trade has prevailed in
the United States have been beclOud-
ed with trade depression, loss and
unemployment, the two respective
periods being in sharp and marked
contrast one as against the other.
The Tariff Hearings have brought
out great deal of useful information
and particularly in the sitting out of
the chaff from the Wheat,-the really
potential industries that need PrOtec-
ton and those that seek it as a means
to an end to future profiteering. To
cite an example of the former, as dis
tinct from some of the mushroom"
infant" industries which are not of
enough public interest to be kept
alive, let us consider the lime and
limestone industry. It's largest and
most lucrative field consists in the
furthering of the arts of peace. Not
pound of iron or steel can be made
without the products of that industry,
neither can blast furnace nor smelter
operate without them. Paper, sugar,
some of the most important chemicals
cannot be produced without their aid,
while they are an essential support to
the whole field of agriculture and hor-
ticulture.
But they are also absolutely essen
tial in. time of war. Such an industry
as this, vital both in peace and war,
an old and not an infant industry, is
one that Tariff Protection should |
shield and over it should throw the
aegis of duties that will keep out for
9ign cheap products.
Products which enter into synthetic
chemical research should receive ade-
1uate Tariff Protection. For instance,
0romine, which is a most important
nunitiOn of war, a destructive agent
Ind constituent in practically all of
he poison or toxic gases.

BUSINESS IDEAS APPLIED TO

NATIC TANGLE

''You know why you say that ano
so do T." was Jacks reply to his next
door chum, Freddie, when Freddie
had kept up a rapid-fire conversation
in which he insisted that president
Harding's suggestion OF some SORT OF
association of nations was just ike
woodrow Wilson's world club plan.
"Why do 1, then? was Freddle's
reply.
"Because your father is Democrat
and you don't want to admit that our
President, who happens to be Repub-
Ucan, ever thinks for himself. How
do YOU suppose the big conference in
washington ever got there if it WASH t
because President Harding worked
out the plan and succeeded in start
ing it so well that he could go back
to his desk and run this country?
"Oh! you kiddies," exclaimed Uncle
Ted as he arrived on the scene of bat
tie. "You must not take sides like
that about things as big as this con-
ference which means so much TO the
future of the world. Everybody must
pull together. So far as President Har-
dings suggestion Of an association OF
nations is concerned, it has nothing
to do with the world club plan. So
rest easy on that score"
"Tell us something about it," said
Ruth.
"First of ALL" began Uncle Ted,
"the suggestion put out by our Presi-
dent is no more like the world club
than black is like white. There would
be no body of representatives as in
the world club. There would not be
any written set of rules as for the
club. No penalties would be provided
for those who violate agreements. It's

the defendant William r. Wagner of

went against him. Mr.. Wagner was

1t was claimed that cake of ice sup
posed to weigh 80 pounds, and a cake
supposed to weigh 100 pounds, sold to
different customers, were found to weigh
less than the amounts placed ON the ice
cards. 1t appeared, however, that the
sales were not made by the defendant
but BY one of his drivers, and that the
cakes were not weighed by the driver
but only estimated. 1t was claimed on
behalf of the defendant that the figures
