The Flexible Tariff.

A study Of the workings Of the flexible
provision Of the Fordney- McCumber Tariff
Act, comforting authority on the President
to raise or lower a tariff duty by as much
as fifty per cent, shows that this power is
being employed for political purposes. II
is also indicated that as the law is ad-
ministered by high tariff President. the
power may not be expected to be used to
reduce a tariff rate on any important COM
modify.
Since this authority was conferred on
the President in 1922, eighteen proclama-
tons have been issued under It. In only
four cases has a duty been lowered, and
then on only such insignificant items as
live quail. handles for paint brushes, mill
feed. a by-product, and eresylic acid, a
by-product of the coal and coke industry.
In the other great majority Of instances,
the Presidential power has been used to
raise tariff duties fifty per cent A nota-
BILE instance was when President Coolidge
recently raised the duty on pig iron by
fifty per cent. This was Immediately fol-
lowed by an increase in the price Of pig
iron one-third greater than the tariff in
crease In substantially every instance
that the flexible tariff power has been en-
ployed. it has been to increase the duty
on a commodity from which a special
interest would benefit and for which con-
sumers have paid increased prices. 1t is
now predicted that the next increase will
be that sought by the Pittsburgh glass
trust. In which. Secretary Mellon is inter
ested, on imports of glass.

Warning against what he termed 1.-THE
vice Of the third term" and expression Of
regret that the tradition of Government,
against third Presidential term was no,

article by Senator William Cabell Bruce in

upon the wholesome principle of rotation in
ONCE by opening the door to an indefinite
succession Of Presidential terms. likely
sooner or later. to result in a tenure of
unbroken continuity perilous to the popular
liberties"
In his opening sentence Senator Bruce
says:
Il am one Of those who believe that
the third-term tradition is based upon
a sound and salutary principle Of political
prudence; and that ii is to be regretted
that this principle was not. in some form
or other, made a part Of the Federal Con-
stition."
Senator Bruce, according to his article.
thinks that even yet some constitutional
adjustment should be made whereby a
third term would be made impossible.
THE Federal Constitution should be SO

for fixed term and afterward ineligible, :.

Is Called "Insane And Brutal"

The Coolidge Kellogg policy in Nicaragua
is called Insane and brutal" by Thomas
p. Moffat. former member of the Nicarasuan
Mixed Claims Commission and a veteran
Of the American Consular Service, in an
address at the recent conference of Latin
American Relations. held at Durham, N. H
Mr.. Moffat's attack centered about the
Coolidge administrators support Of Adolfo
Diaz in the Presidency of Nicaragua,
although 1t has been apparent for many
months that he is not the choice Of the
majority Of the Nicaraguan people. Mr..
Moffat showed that Diaz was a former
minor employee Of business associate Of
Philander c. Knox, who was Secretary of
State under President Taft, and has since
been forced on Nicaragua as President
because he is the tool Of certain financial
interests which are seeking to get control
OF the banking and railroad interests in
Nicaragua.
Summed up. the charges Of former Consul
Moffat against the administration policy
are:
That II has, through alliances convent
ent and profitable to certain selfish in
terests, used armed forces to support
government in Nicaragua that is not the
choice Of majority Of the people.
That through reprehensible methods and
intrigue, attempts are being made to secure
control OF the national railways and Ma.
tional Bank Of Nicaragua in order TO have
a valid excuse for open armed interyen-
ton when the political situation demands
it.
mat this administration has meddled
in Nicaragua to the extent of hand-pick-
ing her President.
That the policy which has been followed
In Mexico has turned a trusting and
friendly people in sister republic to view
our actions with fear. distrust and hatred"
All over the country, the dollar diplo-
macy OF the Coolidee-Kellose administra-
ton is being condemned. because ii has
violated the highest traditions Of America.
because II has resulted in the killing Of
many Nicaraguans as well as caused
American blood to be spilled on foreien
soil solely for the purpose of furtherins
the efforts Of certain big financial interests
to get stransle hold on that small country.
and also because 1t has caused America to
be viewed with distrust and hatred that
is turning millions Of dollars of trade
which has been coming to the manu.
facturers. exporters and business interests
OF this country generally. to other markets.
This loss of trade is occurring not merely
In Nicaragua. but throughout Latin-Amer-
lea. Ten years ago, when the United
States entered the world war. substantially
every government on the Western Hem
isphere entered the war on the side of
America to show their admiration and
esteem for this country. for its ideals and
principles. The dollar diplomacy" Of the
Republican administrations since 1921
diplomacy in the sole interest of certain
groups Of exploiters. has turned this es-
TEEN and good will to suspicion and
hatred, and is costing American business
millions Of dollars Of trade annually.
