KILLING Our IEOrciru Trailr

Attest Department of Commerce figures
IL showing the condition of our foreign
trade ought to be enlightening to our law
makers who are trying to bring about a re-
Nlval OF prosperity i'll this country by enact
ing prohibitivc tariff as to the folly of tho
undertaking in which they are engaged
THESE figures show that our exports to Eu-
rope fell off by approximately $20,O0O,0OO
during March, rs compared with the same
month year ago. while both our exports
ID and imports from South America de-
creased by about Sl0.GOO.OOO each during
the same month. For the nine months end
ed with March, our exports to Europo
amounted to $1,529,0O0, 900, compared with
,S79,000000 during the corresponding
months of 1921, while imports aggregated
S615.O0o.OO0, against $3.50 100000 during
the same period a year ago During tho
nine months ended with March, exports to
South America aggregated 10000. 600.
compared with S467,000 900, while imports
aggregate 1904 100000, against S4l2, OOO.-
600 during the corresponding months Of
1921.
In studying these figures the fact should
be Kept in mind that this tremendous slump
Iii our Foreign trade on both hcmisphcrcs
occurred under the operation of the present
emergency tariff law. which was to he the
cure for the depression into which tho ag-
ricultural industry had been violently
plunged following the close of tho war The
extent of the cure is reflected I'm the figures
OF trade decline given above. The price
movement Tor farm products has not been
apprcciably upward and there is now a large
surplus on hand vainy seeking a buyers
market. This surplus Europe would like
to buy. but it is lacking tho money and
credit facilities to pay for it, II would will
ingly take it off our hands, if we would
exchange 1t for products OF its own creation.
But this kind of an arrangement for n mu-
tual exchange OF commodities we refuse 10
enter into-in fact, are ,cffcctualy estopped
from so doing by our emergency tariff pro-
hbitions.
In the meantime, the same group of law
makers who fastened the trade-kiliing
emergency tariff act on the country are going
ahead with the enactment Of a permanent
tariff with rates UNNECESSARILY hgher-so
hlgh, in fact as to shut off practically what
little foreign trade is left 10 us If we keen
on with this kind OF folly we shall bring
about revival of prosperity about as quick

may afford to hear Manifestly, the only
argument these children can advance OF
their own understanding and impulse IL that
they want and need their fathers ut home.
n potent argument, perhaps-at least. a
touching argument; but 1t ia a reflection
upon the broad sympathy and just spirit OF
the President to infer that the cbidren's
side OF the case would never be considered
unless and until presented by them III per-
son. II the fact that these prisoners are
the fathers of children is TO weigh with the
President. surely the appearance of those
children before him is an unnecessary means
81 giving form and force to the factor their
existence constitutes
The herding OF tho Child Crusaders" TO
the national capital may prove valuable as
means of arresting popular attention, and
OF arousing popular sympathy. Perhaps this
purpose holds large place in the minds Of
those who have engineered the visit than
tho possibility Of moving the President di-
rectly. In any case, President Harding is
July justified in declining to yield TO a
purely theatrical maneuvor. The universal
appeal OF children is being misused in so far
as this is direct drive upon the President,
and it would be thoroughly unfair to inter-
pref his attitude as rejecting n stony indif-
ference to the voices and eart-brcaks Of
Childhood

Instances. The States have felt that the
Interstate Commerce Commission has been
encroaching on local self-government, and
have watched with apprehension the CEN

this resentment, and, perhaps with reason,
IN some instances, has absorbed the idea
that not few Of the States have taken at
ton likely to throw stumbling blocks before

Tt.mny be regarded as significant that the

announces in the statement issued by the
joint committee yesterday that 1T realizes
that there Is danger in decentralization
of authority, that the field of regulation is
vast, and that the State commissions are
often better informed than itself in regard
