Minimum Maximum

These figures disclose the fact
that Perth Amboy's maximum is the
lowest in the list of New Jerseys
leading cities. A longer period is
required to reach this maximum in
Perth Amboy than in the other
cities listed because the annual in
crease is much lower here than else
where. Many smaller places, such
as Glen Ridge, Hawthorne, Nutley,
South Amboy and Woodbridge pay
their teachers higher salaries than
Perth Amboy.

FOREIGN TRADE.

At the meeting of the National Foreign

The 1.50O representative delegates there as
sembled recognized. of course. the barriers at
present existing to the successful conduct of
international trade, in the shape of violently
fluctuating exchange rates of uncertainties
growing out of the chaotic condition of Europe
and of the lack of purchasing power on the part
of foreign buyers. but despite these adverse con-
diticns, the various spokesman emphasized the
fact that recovery is now definitely under way.
The worldwide enforcement of economy during
the past two years is at last producing its in
evitable effect in the reduction of the price of
commoditis.
At the same time it is freely admitted that
the dream of the infinite expansion of Americas
foreign trade. which was proclaimed in high
sounding and exaggerated terms during the full
tide of exporting prosperity some three years
ago, was rudely dispelled by the collapse of
1920. In its stead there has been substituted
a more modest but more feasible aim which
envisages operations larger than those of 1913.
but smaller than those of 1919.

THE TARIFF -F1L1BusrER.

mere IS no longer any possibility OF truth
full denial that a fiibuster is on against the
tariff bill in the senate. Democratic senators
privately admit the fact. and it is only in public
u~tterance that denial is made. The purpose of
the filibuster is perfectly plain-it is to defeat,
so far as possible. all political advantage that
would accrue to Mr.. Harding's party from the
prompt enactment of the tariff bill. The cam
paign is coming on rapidly. and if the bill can
be held off until election. or nearly so. the
administration will be deprived of credit for
putting into effect a measure that will benefit
every citizen by Fastening the wheels of bust
ness.
That benefit will not be felt by the voters
at election time if the Democrats can succeed
in their filibuster. 1t is a melancholy mistake
of political policy on their part. thus to inter
fere with the return of full prosperity. They
are entitled to employ argument to show that
they are better qualified to. administer the gov
eminent than the republicans are, but they are
not justified in holding back the prosperity of
advantage. That is not a political stratagem-
it is an interference with industry and COM
meree.
If the tariff bill is bad, it is the duty of
the democrats to show wherein 1t is bad, and
then it is their duty to permit a vote. The
republicans, by passing the measure, will
assume full responsibility. If the points made
by the opposition are true. public condemnation
will strike the republicans down. Full discus
sion and a prompt vote constitute tne proper
procedure for the democrats as well as the
epublicans.
The filibuster, if carried much longer, will
demonstrate itself as such. Every citizen in
the United States will see the obstruction and
will know who is making it. What is the politi-
cal gain in that case7 The republicans will
have the better of the argument if they are keen
in exposing the nature of the filibuster and the
identity of the fiibusters. They have not been
lacking in this acumen heretofore. Hence, from
the point of view of political strategy, the fill
buster is a bad mistake as well as an injustice
to citizens who are working hard for the return
of full prosperity.
