COTTON IN AUSTRALIA

New South Wales has found that
llong its north coast is very fine
area for the growing of cotton. That
will please the South Welshman as
we'll as the Englishman under the sys-
tenn of British preferential treatment
between colonies and empire. Brit
in is finding many areas in her po-
sessions well adapted to the growing
of cotton and there has been deci-
ded movement on foot for some time
to shake off the dependence of Brit
ish textile mills on American cotton.
Probably as this is accomplished the
Southern Democrats will see the val
ue of having our cotton manufactured
at home under the protective policy.
The old argument of Hayne and Cal
houn will then have passed into his
tory.

He said he was Olaf Jansen, recent
arrival from Sweden. He carried his
savings with him, he said, so he was
able to pay cash when prosperous
looking stranger, who sat beside him
on the same car, offered to sell it TO
him for 500. The stranger told Jan
sen he had cleaned up 100000 ON the
eight-cent fare basis, and they got off
here to complete the deal.
The stranger then disappeared after
directing Jansen to board the car on
its return trip and just tell the con-
ductor he was the new owner.

THURSDAY NOV. Both 1922.

The New York Evening World
made a terrible fuss about the NV
tariff law, declaring that it would add
1900, 100000 to the cost of living
of the people of the United States, no
particulars being cited. The new
tariff law placed newsprint paper on
the free list, and the Evening World,
which formerly sold for one cent, now
sells for three, a 200 per cnt incras
which is funny.

SECTION s0s INYOK ED

Paragraph TAG of the new tariff
places a duty of 35 per cent on
fruits and berries preserved or
packed in sugar or having sugar
added thereto, or preserved or
packed in molasses," etc. The Com
monwealth Of Australia grants an
export bounty on sugar and the sug
ar used in the canning of Australia
fruit exports is included. This makes
up considerable fraction on the val
ue of the goods. Hence, the Treas
ury Department finds it advisable to
apply Section 303 of the new tariff
law, known as the countervailing duty
clause, whereby to the duty of 35 per
cent on the canned fruit is added an
additional duty equal to the amount
received by the Australian exportr for
the sugar bounty.
The addition of this duty has ere
ated some grumbling on the part of
importers affected, but countervailing
duties are no novelty. in tariffs. With
out them competing country could
get around the American tariff by
granting an export bounty to goods at
rates which would nullify the effects
Of our domstic tariff The fact that
the countervailing principle has long
been in use is sufficient indication that
necessity for it has at times arisen.

MERELY PUBLICITY STUFF

With bold headlines Henry Ford an
nounced that he had requested pr
mission from the Interstate Com
merce Commission to let the employ
ees of his railroad share in the prof
its. An examination of his proposal
shows that what he really asked for
was permission to sell his EMPLOYEES
million dollars worth of securities
on which no income would be guaran-
teed. They would be permitted to in
vest their money on a chance of max
ing something. That is nothing more
nor less than every railroad in the
country is doing today. Any man can
go into the market and buy either
stocks or bonds of the road on which
ne is employed. But Mr.. Ford's meth
cd of making the announcement gives
the public the impression that he is
holding out to his employees some
special opportunity. Nothing of the
sort.

THE FOREIGN DEBT
TO AMERICA

Members of the Democratic party
who sought to involve the United
States in the league of nations are
again becoming active in spreading
propaganda favoring cancellation of the
allied debts to the United States. A
former British chancellor of the ex-
chequer has visited this country and
added his argument in favor of the
proposition, and it is probable that
sustained cancellation campaign will
soon be inaugurated. 1t behooves
every real American to be constantly
on his guard to combat every bit of
inspired matter of the sort.
That taxpayers may have gra-
phic realization of the tremendous
outpourings of American gold to the
allied nations during and since the
war period, there is reproduced here
with a statement by the Unitel States
Treasury showing the dates and
amounts of all cash advances. The
total is $9,600,000, 1000, amounting to
about $8,000,000 a day for the three
years and half that they continued.
Interest payments of about $450,000,
900 have been made, but on August
Fl, 1922, the interest accrued and re-
naming unpaid totaled $1,386,000 900
Our own taxpayers have had to bear
that added burden ii meet the interest
on Liberty Bonds sold to raise the
loan funds, which interest could not
be defaulted. In addition to the cash
advanced to foreign governments,
they now owe us about 100000
an account of credit sales of surplus
war equipment and American relief
supplies.
Total cash advaced to foreign gov
ernments, $9,598, 1886, 57445.
Repayments to date:
Belgium, $1,963, 45449
Cuba, $2,259, 10000 ;.
France, $64,O72 1885
Grtat Britain $141,181,64156
Roumania, $1,794, 180.48.
Serbia, 1858, 89097
