result of this method as applied to fuel
(cOal and OiD is to raise manufacture
ing costs far above those prevalent
in Germany, thus choking industry.
A second observation, which applies
to all countries just now, is that every
body is busy watching the other fellow,
fearful lest he gain an advantage, in
stead of attending to their own busi-
ness and doing their own share toward
restoring normal conditions. This ten
dency manifests itself especially in high
tariffs. Don't misunderstood me. I
am heartily in favor Of anti-dumping
measures. | also favor protection
where it is really protection against
unfair or purely destructive competi-
ton, and not protection of inefficiency.
But anti-dumping and genuine protec-
ton will act for very few of the high
tariff walls constructed since the war.
They are the product of fright. The
producer or manufacturer, instead of
setting to work to improve his eff

The purpose is to drive the foreign

foreigner also is overcome by fright, he

is clamoring for trade resumption, po-

always succeed. You have a nation
like Germany, which has practically no
raw materials, and therefore can only
subsist by importing raw stuffs, giving
goods in exchange. If
the tariff wall against goods is sue

duction stoppage, will be the object OF
my trip to Europe which unfortunate
ly l shall be compelled to cut short.
Thus far my investigations have cover
ed only France, but l plan to return
later to complete the study.
+ must be recognized at once that
the questions asked above cannot be
answered with glib formula. The
reasons for the worlds present eco
nomic paralysis are not simple, but
highly complex.
Too Much Politics.
A first conclusion, which applies es-
pecially to France, is that too much
politics is being played During the
war the belligerents and many neutrals
were forced to nationalize their indus
tries. Central direction was necessary
and only the government perceived the
necessity of this organization. Thus
industry and trading come under politi-
cal control and politicians are now re-
luctant to let 60 the many advantages
such an organization gives them.
! say this applies particularly to
France because in England decontrol is
proceeding rapidly while in Germany
centralization during the war was far
less political than elsewhere due to
Germany's highly developed centraliza-
ton.
This gives Germany an opportunity
to multiply indirect taxation, thus re-
lieving the politicians of the disagree

New York, Aug. 6.-For a week
which began with a dIsappoint-
ment, the last seven days have
turned out to be more stuffed with
interest than might have been an
tlcipated. The disappointment
came with midnight of last Sun
day, An amateur prophet had an
nounced that as the date when the
whole of New York would slide
into the sea, and a broiiing popu-
lace waited expectantIy for the
glad event. No such luck. When
torrid midnight clicked off its last
redhot second without even a
splash of ocean foam to wet the
sizzling pavements, the city with a
sigh turned back to crime and per-
splration.
Both those midsummer diver
sions have attained a prominence
hardly to be overrated. If the at
tendance declined to engulf the
town, not so the heat and crime
waves. Maybe the heat has made
burglars averse to unnecessary
work. At any rate it is no longer
considered clever to pick locks.
The dumb waiter and the swinging
rope methods are those most in
vogue. There has been a perfect
epidemic of dumb waiter thieving
in the Bronx, with resultant losses
ranging from $40 to $4,000.
