TraiA Reduces Farm Markets

In q small town in an agricultural
section of the United States, not far
from the Canadian border, there is
glove factory. This concern has
been for years selling large part OF
its product annually in Canada.
! Congress in the Emergency Tarfll
Act placed on goods imported from
Canada a tariff so high that 1t made
if improbable for the Canadians
LONGER to sell their goods in the
American market The small town
glove factory, among many others,
lost its Canadian market and had to
shu5 down.
1t Is an economic law that ma
lion buys where it sells. 1t must do
this in order to have money to pay
bills are contracted.
Canada being unable to sell her
goods in this country was forced to
sell her surplus elsewhere. Natural
ly, then, she supplied her needs in
other markets. But this particular
glove factory is important because OF
its effect on the prosperity OF the
nearby farmers.
The plight of this factory is an
example of how the prosperity OF
every interest in this country is de-
pendent upon the prosperity of prac-
tically every other interest. This
glove factory is the mainstay of the
town. Practically all the wage earn
ers work there When their means
of livelihood was cut off their ability
to purchase was gone.
The smaller farmer who had a
ready market at their very doors tor
their butter and eggs and other farm
products found it necessary to seek
other and less satisfactory markets
out of town. But when they got out
into the world market they found
that something was happening.
Everything they tried to sell was
sold at a greatly reduced price. but
everything that they attempted to
buy they found was reduced only
SLIGHTLY in price or not reduced at all.
Many complicated factors enter
into a situation of this kind, but one
of the most important factors is the
tariff. We have shown in previous
article that in at least commodities,
those of sugar and wool, the tariff
protection accorded by the increas-
ed rates on these two commodities
does not reach the farmer. but stops
with and enriches the manufacturer.
There is a chemical plant In the
state of New Jersey which makes a
fertilizer product for the Cuban mar
ket, Cuba's sugar industry has been
| practically ruined by a so per cent
increase in the tariff on raw sugar

THE DAHL

Cuba is unable to buy the product
this chemical factory. One thousrs
and men are out of work. The fam R
lilies of those one thousand me
would use at least thousand dozen
of eggs a week and not less than III
thousand pounds of butter and GER
tainly not less than three thousan'
pounds Of meat, all products of tn
! American farmer.
But in the case of Cuba there IS
! even more direct loss OF market to
| tn farmer.
A glance at the trade reports
shows that Cuba is one of the Ameri-
| can farmers most important custom
ers. In 1920 Cuba purchased of us
more than so per cent of all our eX-
| ports of hogs, lard compound. can
ned sausage. rice, potatoes, beans and
onions She ranked second among
the nations in the purchase of our
cattle. horses, mules, picked pork, !
sausage and othCl than canned, poul-
try, cheese, sweetened condensed
milk, cocoa and prepared chocolate
and corn. She ranked third in pur-
chase of hams and shoulders mis-
and flour. Cuba bought from us
during 1919 and 1920 over 85,000,-
600 worth of truck gardening and
farm products, over $6,6OO,OOO i
worth of live stock. over SIS 0O0,-
600 worth of dairy products, over
$50, 100000 worth of meat products
over $63,OOO,OOO worth of cotton ,
cloth and over $50, 900 600 worth of
manufacturers of cotton.
1t is pretty evident, then, that the
American farmer needs his Cuban
market. 1t is further quite clear
that if this enormous quantity or I
surplus agricultural goods were
dumped on the home market his
price would slump still more.
Now, where does Cuba get the
money with which to purchase our
goods? The answer is sugar"
Cuba produces 100000 tons of
sugar annually. This enormous crla
is the mainstay of Cuban prosperity.
# it fails her, she must go bankrupt.
About one-half output of sugar she
sells in the United States.
If an increased tariff makes it i'm
possible for Cuba to sell her sugar
in this country her power to buy
FOODS here is going to be cut Off.
We sold Cuba $515 100000 worth
,fgoods in 1920, and a large part of
these sales were manufactured pro-
ducts.

desire to see that no Impairment OF that
branch OF the service resulted from It's
action.
'The reduction under the current ap-
preparations amounts to $181, ,000,0
and the reduction proposed under the
budget is s193.000.000. or this reduc-
tion $S5.0O0.000 Is due to the fact that
the building program of capital ships Is
no longer to be continued. and the re-
naming reduction Is due to the elimina-
ton of number of yachts and other
unnecessary floating equipment brought
into the service during the war.
The appropriations for the English
navy for the fiscal year 1928 aggregate
1894 100000. The appropriations we
propose aggregate s233, 900, includ-

what Kelley Has TO Say.
Representative Kelley said In part:
''The bill reported to the House to-
day carries an appropriation for the
coming fiscal year of s233.224.00O. This
amount is $193,000.000 less than the

than the sum carried In last years bill.
1t has been possible to make these
heavy reductions without disturbing the
5-5-3 ratio established by the treaty.

The report OF the hearings accom-
panying the bill shows that Secretary
DENLY regarded as "a trap" the request
TO submit list of the ships provided
for in the treaty IL manned by $4,000
men afloat and $1,000 ashore. He took
the position that the question was
purely hypothetical, and not to be con-
fused with statement OF what the
Navy Department declared 1t needed
adequately to man the ships provided
for under the treaty.
Navy Officers Aroused.
Navy officers were bitter in their
criticism OF the Appropriations Commit
tee in what they declared was 4 de-
liberate attempt to misrepresent the re-
quirements of the navy. 1t was agreed
generally In Washington that the COM
mittee in providing for so drastic a re-
cuction had skillfuliy manipulated the
figures so that. to the casual observer,
1t might appear that only $1,000 men
would be needed to maintain the navy in
line with the treaty.
Of course it is the contention of the
Navy Department that the power of the
navy Is determined by the number of
men available to man the ships. The
reduction, consequently. IS in the re-
verse-in that the number Of ships is
kept the same, but that the number
which can be kept in commission Is re-
duced. The Navy Department figures
that whereas approximately 100000
tons Of ships should be manned. the fig
ures of personnel will allow only 701.-
900 tons to be manned. 1t had been
estimated that with a navy the per-
sonnel of which would be 5000 instead
of $1,000 only $4,000 tons would
be manned. AS opposed 10 this the
British, who will have navy the per-
sonnel OF which finally will be reduced
10 $4,000, will be able to man 1896, 900
TONS and Japan with personnel Of
6S.352 will be able to man $4,000 TONS
The New York herald., 1922-04-09

The great hope for the blocking of
the House scheme to cut the navy to
the size of that of Japan IS with the
Senate. which only a short time ago
ratified the naval limitation treay and,
In way. committed itself To the policy
OF navy equal to that OF Great Britain
and two-fifths greater than that OF
Japan. The expectation Is that IL the
House should SUSAN the committee pro-
gram, and there is doubt OF that,
the Senate will come TO the rescue with
a compromise, at least to the extent OF
the $4,000 asked for by the minority
members of the House committee.
