agree again with Mr.. Keith. Perhaps
his experiences have led him into con-
tact with those concerns only which
are doing such wonderful work in the
upbuilding Of American world trade
supremacy. I refer to the big packing
houses, the steel business, the oil inter
ests, mineral and mining organizations,
banks, and few of the really big man
ufacturers. These possess vision. They
sense the elements Of romance, senti-
ment and adventure in their work. They
are real pioneers and empire builders.
l envy Mr.. Keith his acquaintance with
such bodies of men.
However, during the past few months
the public press has taken note of the
enormous piles Of rejected American
merchandise strewn all over the ports
of South America. We at home have
given reason for the rejection. So have
the people down below. Their reasons
are not at all similar to ours, and their
reasons are not very complimentary to
US. Furthermore, they appear to be
at least ninety per cent right. And if
any one in our own country believes
that these goods were sent down there
by a few fy-by-night American con-
Germs only, he has but to read the tags
and labels on the packages, showing
the origin thereof. Evidently they
originated from a great many offices
and factories here at home whose
domestic standing and reputation ought
to have precluded any such behavior.
Mr.. Keith and differ in our count
of the sheep and the goats. believe
that the bad actors are still in the
great majority. MI. Keith suggests
that they are growing less every day,
and / hope that he is right. 1t has been
given to us to render a great business
service to the rest Of the world and
to receive therefor a just and fair
compensation. Personally, do not
think that our business men have
realized this opportunity, and l am
sure that they have not yet risen to it.

A Trying Experience After Her Little
Dog Broke Its Leg
the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: few days ago, at about 3
o'clock in the morning, one of my little
Belgian griffons broke her hind leg in
trying to jump on the bed. l phoned
we'll known veterinary at once and
was referred to another man, as the
first was out of town. 1 phoned the
second doctor and said 1 was bringing
the dog right over. l walked up to his
Office II could not get taxi) carrying
the little dog with one of it's hind legs
swinging quite Imply. She shivered q
great deal from the shock and seemed
to be suffering very much. AS she is
eleven years old the shock was un-
doubtedly great one.
On reaching the place I rang and
rang the bell, and was finally confront
ed by the doctor. He said he could do
nothing until morning, and when
asked that he give the little thing
hypodermic to quiet her until such
time as he could set the leg he insist
ed that she could not be suffering, as
she was not crying. I have seen her
operated on and badly bitten by
police dog, but never heard her cry
out, when in pain, yet.
However, I walked home and sat up
with her for four hours or more, waiting
until / could take her back to have
the leg set. / had understood him to
say o'clock. At few minutes before
8 we arrived again and rang for neatly
ten minutes before any one appeared.
At last the doctor came down, looking
very sleepy, in his dressing gown. /
inquired if had arrived too early and
he said: eyes; told you $780," told
him had spent nearly five terrible
hours trying to comfort the little dog,
and that / could wait no longer to have
her leg set. He said he would need two
assistants and could not set II alone.
/ had friend with me, and we both
offered to help hold her, but the doctor
seemed so unwilling to take care OF
the. case that ! asked if he knew OF
any one else in his profession who
could be induced to set leg at
o'clock in the morning. He only re-
ferred me again to the doctor who, ss
I have said, was out OF town, and
was compelled to leave, after two
visits, having accomplished nothing
] suddenly remembered hospital
where have a number of friends and
my dogs have always received ths
kindest and most considerate care. we
drove down there and found DR.. -,
who had the leg set in about ten
minutes, with the assistance OF only
the night watchman.

was framed much too soon. So far
as international trade is concerned
no country knows yet exactly where
it stands. Everything is far from
normal. There are no standards by
which to measure this country's per-
manent need Of protection against
foreign competition. Our own posi-
tion, too, has been altered by the
war. We have acquired enormous
investments and credits abroad. We
cannot afford to shut out foreign
products for the purpose Of stimu-
lating home production OH any such
scale as in the past. Our debtors
must pay in goods, if they are to
pay at ali. Exchange Irregularities
and valuation complexities add to
the confusion Of any legislator who
tries nowadays to construct ration
al permanent protective tariff.
Mr. Fordney's permanent" revi-
sion bill was plunge in the dark.
1t has aroused opposition on all
sides. The Senate Finance Commit
tee quickly discovered that it would
have to be redrawn to meet reason
able objections. Even if it is re-
drawn at the next session it's radical
defect can hardly be cured, for it
Undertakes to, build permanent
tariff structure on uncertain foun-
dations. What will the conditions of
world trade be two years hence or
five years hence? The tariff revisers
do not know. Whatever form the
tariff revision takes, it will still be
highly experimental emergency
measure.

Yachtsmen S Tax Grievance
End of Their Sport Forcscen Unless
Congress Grants Relief

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Representatives Of yachting
organizations throughout the country
are now engaged in Washington in an
effort to have the present Congress re-
peal the discriminatory taxation which
is preventing the growth, and in fact
threatening the very life, of the yacht
industry and the sport. It must be re-
membered that 80 per cent of the yachts
are worth less than 81 900 each and are
used for family outings and general
pleasure service.
The yachtsmen of the country came
to the aid of the Navy Department when
war was declared. No other field of
recreation responded more willingly
nor sacrificed more. Hundreds Of the
finest boats were turned over to the
service for 81 per year, being returned
after the war totally unfit for pleasure
service. Yacht owners by the hundreds
volunteered for service and were de-
tailed to the submarine chaser feet,
where their experience with boats was
invaluable.
This service was performed willingly
and ably, but indignation was aroused
when the enthusiasts returned from
overseas and found the building of new
yachts had been taxed 10 per cent and
sliding scale Of operating taxes
adopted which made it impossible for
many yachtsmen either to build new
boats or to operate their old ones.
The result is that the yacht yards
which are relied upon to place yachts
quickly on war footing in times of
stress, are lying idle. Expert yacht
builders are drifting into other pro-
fessions. Yacht building will become q
lost art unless the taxes, which are
greater than those levied against any
other recreation, are repealed.

cholera was found.
This is the first appearance Of

that farmers living in that vicinity

and use every procaution to prevent
its spread.
Il any sick hogs are found in this
vicinity. or any other section Of the

very glad to have such ca es reported
to his office. so that an investigation
can be made with the hope of pre-
venting the spread Of this disease.
