NATIONAL AFFAIRS
Written for Milford Chronicle by
Frank z. Litschert

The preliminary report of the
House Committee on Foreign and
Interstate Commerce, which has
been investigating the situation with
reference to rubber, and other COM
modities, gives Uncle Sam the very
sensible suggestion that an order to
protect himself from foreign mono
poles he ought, so far as possible,
to grow his own"
The price of rubber it is stated,
has been reduced from S1.l0 a pound
to less than half that figure through
the efforts of Americans in cutting
down the demand for the product,
as suggested by Secretary Hoover,
and the situation is not so acute as
it was few months ago. But the
fact of the foreign monopoly still
remains and the advice is given
that the United States do what it
can to grow a rubber supply of its
own. Some of this, growing of
course could be done in the Philip
pines if American capital were en-
cOurdSeu 10 90 LneIe.
But the rupper monopoly is not
the only one which was investi-
gated. Coffee, potash, silk sisal and
other foreign trusts came in for
their share. Coffee is controlled by
the government of Brazil and this
costs the American people $135, 5,000,-
900 a year extra. Potash is con-
trolled by German and French
monopolies, and sisal, nitrates and
silks by others of equal force and
effect.
The report suggests that the
United States ought to take stock
of its own stores of potash and to
arrange for the utilization of Muscle
Shoals as soon as possible for the
production of nitrates. The sisaJ
situation ought also be looked into,
it is added, and the report generally
goes on the assumption that the
only way to protect ourselves is to
get supplies of our own.
OF course the minority view. while
agreeing in the main with the re-
port, is that something ought to be
done about our protective tariff. It
seems that the minority just can't
refrain from blaming everything on
to the tariff. Perhaps that is why

In summer time, with patient toll
He gathered moss, and dried out oil
But while his hands were busy thus
He got small mental stimulus
And must have felt, from week to

That life was drab and bare and bleak.
And wondered why it was his lot
To dwell in such a dreary spot.
