Thomas Meighan and Gloria
Swanson head the cast. Their joint

duction of this picture. In addition
to these two are Bebe Daniels. Lila

This picture has proved one OF the
greatest and most popular film OF

become the featured attraction at

In Poverty OF Riches" the devel-
opment OF two families is traced

/ purchases from her amounted Il
] only s10s.s1s. .36S. That was quite
: a difference but in 1918 the differ.
ence was even greater the amount
OF goods sold 70 us by Canada total
ing only s12O,571.1so while her pur-
chases OF American goods amounted
to S415.449.457.
Everywhere you look there IS
absolutely no foundation to the
argument that an American protec-
tive tariff viii destroy our foreign
! trade. All the figures I have been
able 10 run down. taken from the
years when we had the protective
tariff show that our export trade
was greater than our import trade.
"Going back to the year 1912 we
find that our foreign business
amounted to a total OF $1.s41,7s2.7ss
while Europe's total business with US
amounted to only ss1s.5S5.326.
MANY OF those who ara doing
their best to defeat a protective
tariff are using Germany as one OF
their main arguments. Germany
makes a fine target for them be-
cause they love to tell us how Ger
many Is stepping ahead by leaps and
bounds and how she will walk away
with everything. In using the Ger
man argument they forget that they
are proving nothing so far as tariff
is concerned. What they are doing
Is TO make a very unpleasant rehec-
ton on American business and the
men behind American business. The
actual figures OF business with Ger
many during the two years in 1912,
/ 1913, when Germany was in her
prime and long before the Great
WAR even started. are the 4est proof
against the German argument. Dur
ing those two years we bought from
Germany goods totaling $360.s43,-
451.
Gee. that's lot Of money 70
send there" said Ruth.
"Yes, Ruth, but we sold goods 70
! Germany during those same twenty
four months totaling S63s.64s.23s
or almost twice as much! Does that
look like a protective tariff kills our
! foreign trade? Hardly! And MOT
only that but II the free trader
wants TO rest on the German argu-
ment 1t is simple enough TO point
out TO him that those figures rem
resent two OF the biggest German
years before the war. Germany to-
day needs much more than she did
then and certainly. while she is get
ting on her feet rapidly, is not vet
in the same position for world trade
that she was in 1912 and 1918.
$50 Il IS all down the line. Italy
and Great Britain both paid us more
money under a protective tariff
than we paid either of them. Senti-
meDt. blood ties and all that can
not enter into world trade. We
either have or haven't the goods to
sell and we either must protect our
goods and the men who make the
goods or we will see our markets
flooded with everything from South
Africa to the North Pole. You give
Freddie a few of these figures and
let him sleep over them a night or
two and then see what he says.
