Hides on the Free List

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: While l agree with YOU that
raw materials should be on the free
list whenever possible and that duty
on hides would not help the farmer, I
believe you are wrong in your conclu-
sion regarding such duty.
When the Payne-Aldrich tariff nut
hides on the free list the price of
leather did not go down; on the con-
trary it went higher. The result was
that the government has since lost an
income of 100000 annually, which
amount has gone into the pockets of
those in control of the market. This
was foreseen by those with knowledge
of the actual effects of protective
tariff.
Regarding your argument about the
debt owing US by foreign governments.
that is no reason to let down our bar
riers. That would be equivalent to
giving them the money to pay off what
they owe us-our tariff should be high
enough to protect our labor at a fair
living wage, not the high rates still
prevailing. Japan has made serious
inroads on at least six of our indus
tries. HENRY W STRuSS

Shipping

The World, pretending to resent
the charge of The Philadelphia
Ledger that as to the disarmament
issue it is "muddying the waters Of
good will' and BLOCKING the road
and sniping at the Administration,
gives it additional basis by reiterat-
ing that the President is making it
difficult to reach an understanding.
It oracularly announces that if the
armament question is settled first
the Pacific question will be more
easy. 1t thus assumes that when
neighbor nations have no disputes
they are then more likely to arm
against one another.
Time was when our contemporary
did not argue in exactly this man
ner. Mr.. Wilson, it will be recalled,
made no arrangement for disarma-
ment. When the lack was noted and
criticized The World responded:
Don't you see that by first remov-
ing the causes for war Mr.. Wilson
has made disarmament inevitable?
Why worry or talk about it? 1t will
come of itself, for arning is the
result of suspicion, and with sus-
picion gone no nation will waste
billions on rusting military estab-
lishments."
The objection to this Wilson pro-
cedure, which The World so stoutly
defended, was to it's lack of balance.
1t overvalued the influence of proper
agreements and practically ignored
the disarmament phase of the peace
problem.
Mr.. Harding allows for both fac
tors. To limit armament will at
least tighten tax burdens, and the
settling of specific disputes, his COM
mon sense tells him, will lessen the
danger of using armament. He sees
no reason why the two labors can
not be carried on together, and our
neighbor SO far has scarcely devel-
oped convincing argument estab-
fishing his error.

The Greek Advance in Anatolia

The Greek army in Asia Minor
has now reached the positions it held
last spring when it was routed by
the Turkish counter offensive. The
Greeks have taken Eskishehr, as
we'll as Alum Karahissar, and con-
troll all the main line of the Con-
stantinople Bagdad railroad lying
between these two important centers.
The Turks have retreated, fight
ing only rear-guard actions, as they
did last spring. Mustapha Kemal is
in better shape now than he was
four months ago. for he has drawn
many Nationalist troops west from
Armenia and Cilicia. The question
is whether he will try to start a
second counter offensive at this
juncture or will retire further east
of the main railroad line before
making an attack.
Two military experts in Con-
stantinople gave their opinions on
the Anatolia situation few weeks
before Tino's present campaign
started. One of them said: "It is
possible for the Greeks to reach the
main line of the Anatolian railroad.
as they did last April. This judg-
ment has been confirmed But they
cannot get beyond it,"
The other said: 1.-THE Turks win

be invincible If they stick to the de-
fcnsive. But if they attack in their
turn they will make little progress
either toward Constantinople or
toward Smyrna. l foresee prog
longed operations"
The Turks showed little skill on
the offensc in the World War, ex-
cept at its very beginning, when an
ably conceived invasion Of the Rus
sian Caucasus under Enver Pasha
come near succeeding. Mustapha
Kemal fought at Gallipoli. He is
more familiar with the defensive, or
the offensive-defensive. His pur-
suit Of Constantine's defeated army
last April was very badly managed.
Greece had a we'll trained and we'll
organized army at the close Of the
World War. 1t is much better sup
piled with artillery, bombs and air
planes than the Nationalist Turk
army is. What it can do in the ex-
tremely difficult country east of the
Observation-Disclosures railroad re-
mains to be seen. Renal, however,
seems to be depending on his own
military resources. There is no in
dication as yet that Lenine has sent
any Soviet divisions to the Anato-
liam front.

A Tariffs Two Purposes

SO far as the net economic effect
of many Of it's rates are concerned
the Fordney permanent tariff act is
good deal of leap in the dark.
We have an emergency tariff law
in operation and law of that sort
is appropriate, because this is an
emergency period.
But concerning the future, until
we know more definitely what our
economic relations to the rest Of
the world are to be, specific rate
making must be experimental. 1t
would be taking large risks to as
sumo, as Mr. Fordney seems to
have done, that the main purpose
of tariff in 1921 is the mere ex-
clusion Of competing foreign COM
modities.
Yet it is but fair to recognize that
the Fordney measure has excellent
features. For example, it revives
the reciprocity or trading principle,
first originally written into the Nc
Kinley tariff. This principle re-
ceived no recognition in the tariff
bill of 1890 as it passed the House
of Representatives. But after Sec
rotary Blaine had visited the Senate
Finance Committee and smashed
his silk hat on the consultation
table Congress decided to tie up
protection with trading. 1t was Mr..
Blaine's idea that tariff should be
made an instrument for stimulating
our export trade as we'll as for reg
ulatlng our import trade.
BY lodging bargaining as we'll as
retaliatory power in the President
an approach to scientific tariff max
ing is made possible. 1t isn't neces-
sary or advisable, to deal with all
foreign countries on the same basis.
The aim of tariff is to strengthen
the country economically, and that
END may be attained by opening
doors as we'll as by closing them.
The United States has reached a
point in its industrial and financial
growth at which exclusion cannot
safely be practiced all along the
line. Mckinley said in 1901 that
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-23

the era of exclusion was past. We
need a tariff adjusted with delicate
precision, capable of variation to
meet unlike conditions in foreign
trade and calculated to foster our
exchanges with foreign countries
as we'll as our domestic production.
Here, at least, is a proper founda-
ton to build on. Rates are matters
chiefly of precedent, habit and acct
dent. They are rough compromises
between interested judgments. But
any error in them may be sufficient
" corrected il an opportunity for
skillful bargaining and temporary
modification is allowed to the
executive department, which can
advance or reduce rates on expert
advice and thus draw from pro-
tective tariff its maximum of eco
nomic advantage.

Few Churchless Christians
Notwithstanding There Is Religion
Outside of the Churches


To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: None may dispute your state
ment in Sundays editorial headed ere
ligious News" that "there is probably
more religion outside Of the churches
than in them, because the membership
of churches is restricted, while the
membership of humanity is restricted
only by the number of human beings.
Not ali human beings are religious.
but large majority are" The term
religion" is so broad as to include
those whose religion is of the "aint-
nature-wonderful" variety, as we'll as
the most sincere follower of Jesus
Christ.
But the religious press you speak
of is, | assume, the press Of the
Christian churches, and casual reader
Of your editorial would conclude that
the statement quoted above refers
solely to Christian religion. At any
rate, it would seem to the writer that
utterances Of this nature with regard
to the Christian churches have been
all too frequent, and should be chal-
lenged.
Would it not be quite as ridiculous
to say that there is more pure Ameri-
canism among those who have never
sufficiently admired American institu.
tions to swear allegiance to our flag
than there is among the great body Of
American citizens?
1t seems to the writer that many
critics of the churches confuse philan-
thropy with Christianity Philanthropy
is included in Christianity, but Chris
tianity is not per Sc included in philan-
thropy. The agnostic may be the most
charitable of men, but a genuine
Christian cannot be uncharitable.
Jesus said: "Whosoever confesseth
me before men, him will I confess be-
fore my Father in Heaven" The
Christian churches are composed of
those whose faith has led them to
Confess before men" Jesus as Lord
and Master. Surely there are few who
love Jesus Christ who would thus re-
fuse to swear allegiance to Him.
If it be true that all citizens are
not true Americans, but all true Amer
leans are citizens, it is equally true
that while all church members may not
be Christians there are few Christians
who are not church members. ~

Scarcely Handsome

The Senators who have been quiz
zing Secretary Mellon concerning
the foreign debt question viii
scarcely be proud, on second
thoughts, of the spirit they have
disclosed.
Their Undergraduates seem to have
been directed toward stimulating the
suspicion that some sort of effort is
afoot to cheat the United States. In
view of the way the debt was created
and the purposes for which it was
spent, this, to say the least, is not
handsome. The Secretary's attitude
seems the more creditable and the
more likely to be regarded as an ex-
preston of broad and generous
Americanism.
Secretary Mellon has spoken of
moral obliga ions resting on this
country. This may now be inham-
ing to some who resent importing
into the discussion anything except
the bare fact that we lent the money
and who hold Europe must repay
every farthing Or give pound of
flesh closest to her heart. Never
theless, the special circumstances
that existed when the debt arose
must soon or late be given some
weight. Not even members of the
Senate Finance Committee can keep
them altogether in the background
and out of thought.
