DOES 1T OR DOES 1T NOT?

Once again we ask Editor Matson
the question-does the present rob-
Der tariff increase the price of
sugar? Now give us a plain answer,
and don't go to the bother again OF
reprinting the congressional record,
and in vague terms attempt to evade
a practical question by talking about
Canada, or the Fiji Islands, or
some other remote corner of the
earth. Does the tariff make sugar
higher, here in McConnelsville and
Malta, the garden spot of the world?

To him it was a great wrong
that the Christians of America are

ought to eradicate sectarian and

argued, can they achieve the univ
ersal brotherhood they preach and
profess to work for?

BUYING TOO MUCH FROM
EUROPE, BABSON ASSERTS

a campaign over here to buy all
American goods, but such cam
paign would be very difficult to
put across, The only answer to
the problem 10 that our people must
work harder and be more efficient
in order to balance up the situa-
ton. When two jars of water are
connected by a tube, the water in
the two jars ultimately must level.
1t happens today that the water in
the American jar is the higher, and
the question before us is whether
we will let the water in our own
jar fall to the European level, or
raise the European level to meet
ours The probable result viii be
that our level viii come down some
and their level will come mp to meet
us. We must improve our efficicn-
cy while they must increase their
purchasing power.
"The fact that the business in
dcx of the Babsonchart has drop
ped to 6 per cent below normal is
largely due TO this import situation,
which is resulting in the gradual
shutting down of our mills and
factories. Of course the condition
of the American farmer and the in
efficiency Of labor are also factors
in bringing down this index figure.
Considering the fact that business
was II per cent above normal in
March of this year, the figure Of 6
per cent below normal today is a
very abrupt and serious decline. -
