High Tariff
Suggested for Britain.
Daily Mail. London.-This country is
leading the world, not in mass produc-
ton, but in doles. And go Fer cent
of the enormous amount spent in doles
goes into buying imported goods and
so stimulates the import of foreign
wares. The burden Of providing these
doles falls on British industry, and
makes 1t increasingly difficult for that
industry to export. Owing, therefore
to our exports not keeping pace with
our imports, there Is growing difficulty
in keeping gold In London, as payment
has always to be made, at some for
eign point, in gold for any great excess
Of imports.
For this grave state Of affairs the
problem is to find a remedy. There
is no other remedy on the horizon but
that proposed by Viscount Rothermere,
in the shape of a high tariff against
all manufactured articles entering this
country. On such articles he favors
such duties as will be almost prohibit
tive. For, as he points out, "in an
industrial country like Britain, 1t Is
no more than elementary self-preserva-
ton to impose import duties upon the
products Of foreign competitors"
Prefers Canadian
College to Those Of u. s.
Ell Nuevo Diario, Caracas.-Our cor
respondent In New York, Senior Nemesio
Garcia Naranjo, says many people ask
him why, living in the United States,
with all its good schools, he sends his
children to Canada to be educated. His
reply is Illuminating. There are two
reasons" he says, "for preferring a
Canadian college to an American COL
lege. In the first place, Canada is the
joint product of two most noble civili-
cations, the French and the English.
In the schools of that country one Is
educated up to all the capability and
vigor of the Anglo-Saxon, and at the
same time has all the primitiveness and
bluntneSs of those traits moderated
with the grace and charm of the Latin
civilization. Canadian colleges cult
vate the classic seriousness of European
institutions and yet possess all the
youth and enterprise of institutions
living and acting in the ideals of
America. In my humble opinion Yankee
euuCdtOES are OeCOInlIlR uLIle lSSS IIldn
crazy. Their institutes are colleges of
charlatans. Many schools and colleges
which enjoy an ancient, and hitherto
enviable, reputation are deplorably
deficient from moral standpoint.
Even women's colleges have deteriorated
from the high standards that formerly
governed them. Week ends are at
the disposal of all feminine students.
They can do what they please from
Friday night to Monday morning with
out losing caste or friends. Smoking
is considered necessary evil. All such
colleges have smoking rooms. Religion
Is of an intellectual, modernistic type.
Latin and mathematics are studied
perfunctor1ly. The conquest of tobacco
and an occasional frolic with the in
spirational aid of Illicit liquor. the pur-
suit Of pleasure is more important.
Is 1t any wonder such imperfectly cul-
tured and incipiently depraved persons
are turned out of American colleges?
