The late Louis Stern. during a
long and useful life. lived up to a
hieh tradition. Ne was a merchant

contributed 50 much 10 the citys
greatness. and. though his days we're
encrossed in upbuilding a mighty
butiness. he found time TO meet the
public obligations laid on him by MS
conspicuous citizenship.
He came 10 this country as child
immigrant. and found. as have so
many others. that America meant
opportunity. Looking forward. not
hack. no became an American and
applied himself diligently TO the
work his hand and head found to do.
We pro.pered according 10 his just
deserts and then used his wealth IN
the general interest. It's an old and
familiar story. but long may Amer

He helped others and his heart went

WI Tins-fans

Outside China WI Ting-fsng was
perhaps better known than any other
Chinese statesman Of the late i'm
peris and republican eras. His
fame did not fill the world like the
great Ii Hung-ehang's. But he had
brought himself into much closer
touch with Western ideas and with
the English-speakine publics. and he
was one Of the most potent infu-
ences in turning China's thoughts
away from closed past, patheticslly
isolated from modern progress.
WI was born in Singapore. was
educated at Hongkong and in Eng
land. and rounded out his Western-
ization by long service A. Chinese
Minister in Washington. Thus his
democratic prepoSsessions were fixed
and his mind was opened to the
necessity of bringing China, before

WI was a Chinaman with a keen
scase OF humcr. He was a satirist,
maker Of epigrams, a propoundcr
Of embarrassing questions which left
humbug and hypocrisy naked. He
was more in demand here as an
after-dinner speaker than any other
foreign diplomat has ever been. He
concealed mis- profundity behind a
mask Of ingenuousness and his wit
generally had a remembered sting.
Going home from Washington. he
figured eonsoicuously IN the found

Summer SQUALLS

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In reference TO summer squalls
about which a good deal has been SAID
recently. permit an observer, to give
this advice. Squalls IN the neighbor.
hocd Of New York usually come out OF
the northwest.
A thunder storm is usually preceded
by great masses Of towering clouds OF
ycllowish tinge, called thunder heads
and very beautiful to look at. About
1880 1880 daylight saving timc) these
clouds begin to be black and seem to
gather into dense masses. Now, IL you
see light below the dark cloud mass
nothing is likely 10 come. H. however
the sky is dark 10 the horizon, and re-
mains SC. look out for heavy weather
A squall never breaks from the north
west while bree.e from another quar-
ter is blowing. when that breeze dies
look out again. and II on the water
make things snug as fast as you can;
II on shore get under cover.
A thunder sauall is preceded by ar
arch OF gray cloud, a thin stretch Of
this eolored cloud stretching across the
front Of the souall. Pretty soon th'
wind begins to blow from the north
west. increasing in violence with gresi
rspidity. Such wind will rise 20 nifty

Tariff Revision Fsllacies

The Fordney and McCumber tariff
bills were framed with little regard
10 economic tendencies. They ignore
the vast alteration brought about by
the war in Americas economic re-
lations 20 the rest Of the world. One
would imagine from the arguments
offered by the defenders Of these
bills that the United States was ir-
capable o. competing with other na-
tons outside lts own boundaries and
that our manufacturers could COM
pete az home with foreign manufae-
turers only through the aid Of nearly
prohibitive tariff duties
This is not the case Our exports
FAY exceed our imports and have
been growing enormously. In the
fiscal year 1920 exports were
valued at Ss.1O6.OOO.OOO and
imports at .23o.OoO.OoO. In the
fiscal year l92O-2l exports we're
valued al s6.5I6.OOO,O0O and I'M
ports at SS,6jfOOO,0Oo. In
IelS.'14 our exports were s2.364.-
100000 and our imports were
Sl.s9S.OoO.O0O.
The American manufacturer has
not been prevented from competing
in foreign markets since the war By
cheap European competition. Our
exports for April OF tbs year were
es per cent larger than those foi
april. 1914 In the same month
our imports were only % per cen:
larger than those for April. 1914.
We have steadily become more Of
ar exporting and less OF an import
irg nation But no one would
ever guess that from the stress laid
N Congress on the need Of fur
iher protecting American producers
from outside competition.
o. our imports more than half
have me IN free since 1901,
snd mJ9e ,han 20 pcr cent since
ls9O-'0l The percentage OF non
dutisble exports in 1920 was
sl.0s; IN l9ls-l9 il was 70.S4
hardly o third Of our imports OF
$3.G54,OOO,O0O in l92o-'2l were
faxed Yet industry at home has
expanded and exports have nearly
r-,S!c1 a!.cc 1919.
These facts show that there is no
reason 70 be alarmed over the stu
.tion. The latter has not changed
10 our detriment The emergency
tariff act relieved those producers
who felt temporarily the pressure
q bothersomo foreign competition.
We have plenty Of time ahead in

The Railroad Strike Threat
,ht Editor Of The Tribune.

Te the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Consider the statement sttrib-
utsd 70 John I. Lewis. Of the United
Mine Workers. discussing gen
ersl rilroad strike in support Of his
striking miners:
"A strike of large number of
rsilroad workers. coupled with that Of
rhs miners. would in a comparatively
short time cause such dislocation Of
ali industry that the country would
soo- be prorrated. and the railroad
and mine corporations would come IN
acceptable terms with their workers"
This smiable statement vas used By
Lewis not as reason against a strike
hut s convincing reason IN favor OF
one. II vas a threat so TO parslyEe
the nation that million or so OF work
ers could compel a half million or so
Of security owners 10 come TO terms.
In all the history OF so-called cor
rerstion domination and so-eslled op-
yreuion Of the worker by big business

Their eager appreciation.

land stimulates the price.
A spirit of cooperation and good
will between the business men and
the farmers is highly essential to the
development Of any trading center
IL the farmers knock the town and
bestow their patronage elsewhere,
they are standing in their own light
and are importing their own inter-
ests, because they are blocking, in
stead of helping along, development
which would add value to every one
of their acres and provide advantages
for every member of their families.
If they have grievances and will talk
them over frankly with the business
men, the chances are very strong
that the causes of complaint would
be promptly removed or adjusted. II
is certainly worth while to attempt
to reach an understanding. There
are two sides to every question and
it is foolish to jump at conclusions
before getting the other fellows
viewpoint.
The abnormal business conditions
obtaining during the war aroused
lot of hostility toward and suspicion
of the retailers among the consum-
ers, much of which was not justified.
But the war is over and the sooner
a spirit of mutual confidence and
good will between the farmers and
merchants can be established the
better it will be for all concerned.
BY helping to make Pullman a
larger trading center the farmers Of
this community will be adding to the
value of their land and to the ad-
vantages within the reach of their
wives and children.

ment Now If $500 per year can be
paid by them to an organization they
do not recognize, we wonder what
might be going on with some of the
other city money.
AT the merchants meeting We'd
nesday some expressed the opinion
that this should be kept out of the
paper. Some were in favor of it.
Our stand is that it should be known
and we want the citizens to know
the facts as we know them. SO we
are taking this means of making it
known.
We think from our experience that
it is time for the citizens Of Pullman
to get some information on what is
being done with their money. 1t is
poor time to squeal after the mo-
ney has been spent, but they certain
ly can act before any more is thrown
away.
