Protecting a

W interested in this. Makers OF
raw film used in tn> motion
picture industry have almost con-
WINGED Congress that a tariff of 20
per cent should be imposed upon
importation of, this material.
The only reason for tariff on
/, anything is for protection of Ameri-
ican industry and American labor
against the lower wages paid to for
eign labor.
Most of the motion picture raw
film in the United States is manu-
featured by the Eastman Kodak
Company. This corporation, enjoy
ing virtual monopoly of its prod
uct, has already exacted prices so
high that it has earned enormous,
If not extortionate, profits.
In 1920, after paying Federal
taxes, the Eastman Kodak Company
showed net profits of $18,566,211,
equivalent, after preferred divi-
dends, to 1928 a share on its COM
mon stock. 1t made net profits of
SIS, 1876, 1888, OF, $91.78 a share, in the
previous year. These profits were
earned without any protective tariff
whatever.
The American public is entitled
to protection from profteering of
the Eastman Kodak Company. This
concern is not entitled to a protec-
tive tariff on its product until the
need FOR protection is shown.
An import tax on raw film would
permit the. Eastman company to
further raise its prices On film, an
increase which would be recouped
from producer, distributor and ex-
hibitor of motion picture films, and
finally from the millions of patrons
Of motion picture theaters.

Sauce for Goose

4 > the seasons roll around and
~ heat and humidity have their
- annual inning, the old question
comes up:
Shall man take off his coat and
be comfortable or shall he keep it
on and roasti
The other day Ambassador Har-
vey played golf in England in his
shirt sleeves and the stolid British
ers were. shocked. At a conference
of ministers and religious workers
at the Union Theological Seminary
in New York, the Rev. Dr. Henry
Sloane Coffin, of the Madison Av-
/ enue Presbyterian Church, is report
ed in the newspapers as saying:
eff so per cent of you fellows will
take your coats of ] will take mine
off, too"
Brave words! AS we all know, so
per cent of the gathering establishes
the proper code of ethics, morality,
etc. 1t happened, in this case, that
the gathering took off their coats
unanimously
And" the reporter adds, "only
half dozen pairs of suspenders APP
peared."
Are suspenders immoral, uneth-
ical, unsightly or criminals Is their
status changed when they are Wis
ible or invisiblel Do those who
wear suspenders under their coat
hide crimei
And, worse still. The other day
young man who took off his coat
in the Public Library, New York,
was ordered by several employees
to put it on again or be expelled
from the premises. A public Ii
brary, mind you.
What is the solution of this peren-
NAL problemi Alas, we do not
know! Our confidential advice
would be that those who want to
keep their coats on keep them on
and vice versa-when the cops do
not object to the vice versa.
BUT
hasmuch as the very existence
of such problem is conclusive
proof of the asininity of men s cos
tune, we would respectfully sug-
gest that those who wear shirts and
understands and vests and coats and
suspenders and starched collars
and neck-ties around their collars
be among the last to cast a stone
at the costumes that women wear.

Not Painless

NOME advocates of the sales tax
- are advertising it as "pain-
- less"
In it's lower reaches, involving
small transactions, the tax would
probably be absorbed by the mid
dlemen and not reach the consumer
at all, especially in sharp competi-
tive market. To that extent it would
be painless"
On larger turnovers it would be
felt-and it ought to be felt.
Painless taxes always breed ex-
travagance. The tax that is con-
cealed or disguised is the tax that
MASTERS think they can spend with
impunity, because nobody will feel
it poignantly enough to object.
The only way to get a strong
public sentiment behind the demand
for economy is to have taxation so
plain that the taxed will have
jumpy nerves whenever spendthrifts
gather.
The sales tax would put burden
on your pocketbook that you would
feel-but not so heavy a burden as
you are carrying now, or one so
disastrous in its effects on business.

The March
OF EUentS
n HE Conference of the Powers, to
which President Harding has
;nXr.foI IT,, oela,,d E,.onoo IL

invited England, France, It.
ally, Japan and China, is as impor-
tant as the Peace Conference.
We feel quite sure that it will
have better results. Certainly it
cannot have any worse.
Mr.. Harding is a practical man
with great deal of common sense.
Mr.. Wilson was a perfect geyser of
copy-book maxims, glittering in
pretty word coloring. But he had
no common sense. Mr.. Harding has
an able Secretary of State and takes
his advice. Mr.. Wilson had no
Secretary Of State. He had only a
rubber stamp. He would take ad-
vice from no one.
These radical differences should,
and no doubt will, make the out
come of the Washington Conference
far different from the outcome Of
the Paris Conference.
We think it is great mistake
not to invite Germany and Russia
to the Conference. Both are great
powers, no matter how depressed
they are now. Both are vitality in
terested in the problems the Con-
ference will discuss. Not one of
these problems can be permanently
settled without the willing co-opera-
ton of both.
Suppose Japan turns her diplo
matte arts to the formation of an
entente with Russia and Germany.
Look at the map and see what an
enormous territory and what huge
contiguous populations and natural
resources such an alliance would
control.
The japanese insist that they
have superior interest in China.
They call this assertion the Monroe
Doctrine of Asia.
The Monroe Doctrine makes no
claims to superior American eco
homie rights in South America. The
Monroe Doctrine has nothing to
do with trade or concessions. The
Monroe Doctrine sets up no theory
of a protectorate.
The Monroe Doctrine simply af-
firms that the United States will
not permit European or Asiatic
powers to wage wars of conquest
and colonization upon the American
continents.
The japanese claim is to the right
Of Japan to enjoy a control of the
trade of Asia-particularly of Chi
na-and free hand to conquer and
annex or rule any portion of Asia
she chooses-and these claims carry
with them the purpose to dominate
and monopolize the commerce Of
the Pacific ocean.
There is nothing remotely re-
sembling the Monroe Doctrine in
these Japanese policies.

No commercial newspaper in this

ing the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics as authority for the figures,
the Tribune correspondent says. In
part:
AS compared with the average cost
In the. year 1918. the retail cost yof

crease of 66 per cent In Washington,
81 per cent in Providence. 81 per cent
in Chicago, 55 per cent in Kansas
City and Birmingham, as per cent In
St Louis, So per cent In New Haven
and Philadelphia, "A per cent in Lit.
tleRock. AZ per cent In Denver, and 35
per cent in Salt Lake City.
Prices were not obtained by the
bureau of labor statistics from Bridge.
port, Springfield, ILL.,. or Peoria In
1918. hence no comparison for the
eight year period can be given for
these three cities"
So we see that after the many
months of strenuous press propa.
ganda that prices are going down, a
propaganda offered to deceive the
workers into accepting reductions OF
wages, the profiteers still have their
hands on the commerce OF the coun-
try, and they show no indications OF
a Willingness IN laf
AS time passes, the wisdom OF the
action of those wage earners who re.
fused TO accept wage reductions is
confirmed, and the helplessness OF the
unorganized and of those weak or
ganizations that accepted wage cuts
again Is demonstrated.

LABOR STRONGER THAN

what the destruction of the labor

for any set OF employers or hired at
to-neys to endeavor to deprive or.
ganized labor of such elementary
rights as moral sussion, the giving
and receiving OF information. the use
of the public highways. and In short
justas idle as II is 10 seek TO abolish
the right of labor 70 choose employ.
ers and associates and to make union
shop contracts.
Solong as the country remains free
these rights win be exercised In one
way or another lnjunctions will not

sophistry Common sense will pre-.
vail In the end: reason and consist
eney will reassert themselves in the
courts. II not, there will be constl.

legislators and confine them TO their

No doubt there was time when the
short-sighted. blgoted employers
thought unionism could and would be
crushed by injunctlons. damage suits,
denunciation, and similar weapons.
They ought To know better now.
What have they accomplished? La.
Dor is stronger than ever.
The unions have not been dissolved;
the policy OF labor has not been chang
ed.
Mistakes have been made and they
will be avoided.
But all the essential features OF the
unionist movement have remained un.
impaired
The assaults have failed; they have
been repulsed.
Would II not be wiser and more
profitable for employers 10 abandon
futile methods and try the policy of
fair play. honest dealing. and friendly
relations with their organized en-.
ployes and the latter's duly elected
representatives?
Sooner or later this course will have
to be adopted by them. and our effort
is TO bring IL into full and general op.

Organized Labor to

Day With Parades
THE TIME HAS COME TO DIS
ARM, BECAUSE MILITARtsT
AuTocRAclEs HAVE
PERiShED.

The fact is that disarmament
now Is possible for practical reas.
ons and not for sentimental reas-
ons. Sentimental reasons have
always existed. but the world kept
on arming. The practical thing
that stood in the way of yielding
to sentiment was the necessity OF
protecting the advance of democ-
racy against the constant threat
and menace OF autocracy and mill
tarism.
While the two systems of human
organization and government stood
facing each other on relatively
even terms OF strength the couse
OF disarmament was a hopeless one
THE great militarist autocracies
have perished A fundamental
change has come over the peoples
formerly ruled by emperors, kais-
ers. ezars and conqnerors. Self
government has been gained for
practically the whole civilized
world.-That fact. more than any
other. makes disarmament possible
today. ."-President Gompers.
