international Trade Is Too Restricted

trade between nations must be re-
established. Third, the gold standard
must be restored. Fourth, the budgets
of European countries must be bal
anced in the sense that expenditures
do not exceed receipts from taxation.
These are the four outstanding
requirements; it may safely be said
that if these four things are secured
the economic world as a whole will
again be on it's feet"
To achieve a real revival Of indus
trial prosperity agricultural purchas-
ing power must be restored through
the agency of the reduction in the
prices of "those groups of commodities
which have thus far declined relatively
little" A program of public works by
Federal, State and municipal agencies
would give an initial whirl to the
STALLED industrial machine" but with
lout a restoration of international trade
and without balancing of budgets in
European countries the stimulation OF
public works will accomplish relatively

economic and moral grounds, as is "the
elimination of trade barriers in order
to permit q. resumption of normal buy
ing and selling between nations. :.
We do not urge that absolute free
trade between nations should imme-
diately be established. But we do in
sist that the erecting of additional
tariff barriers and trade restrictions at

gradual reduction of duties everywhere
would be enormously beneficial to all

that the nations of the world should
get together and get to work.

Every one must be brought to realize
that the world is vastly poorer than

not continue to live beyond their

the press and the pulpit in every

That nations have been spending too
much money since the armistice and
are continuing to spend too much
money is the chief cause of the worlds

cording to the coauthors Of this vol
