CANADIAN TARIFF
TO AFFECT STEEL
Coal and Oil Exports From
United States Also Face
CurtaiIment.
BY JOHN r. SINCLAIR.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, June Caught be-
tween a deficit that has grown
to $100,O00000 on the one hand,
and the United States tariff on the
other, Premier Bennett of Canada has
decided to limit imports from the
United States and give special prefer
ences to trade within the British En-
pire.
The new Canadian schedule provides
for three different tariff rates. The first
covers goods exchanged between Great
Britain and her possessions. This Is
the lowest. The second is the inter
emulate rate" which applies to imports
from thos countries with whom Cana
da has special trade agreements. This
is somewhat higher, The last and
highest is the general rate" chiefly
affecting the United States.
Already the distant rumble of coun-
ter attack is heard in Washington,
which may take the form of vigorous
official protest against this apparent
discrimination. That such protest
will have any effect is doubtful. Can
ada protested against the American
tariff in vain.
The iron and steel industry of the
United States exported $20O,O00000
worth of its products to Canada last
year. Coal and oil products accounted
for $50 900 each. The new Bennett
duties will be hard on them, but the
British manufacturers, shippers and
mine operators will rejoice.
There is. however, another side to the
picture. A constantly growing number
OF American manufacturers have been
erecting their own plants in Canada.
The new high duties established by the
tariff are expected to accelerate this
movement, so that not only will the
Canadian government fail to receive all
of the revenue it expects, but large
and powerful competition will appear
as we'll against native manufacturers
But unemployment might possibly be
alleviated by this situation should Cam
ada insist that foreign firms operating
on her soil engage Canadian labor.
In the long run, however, Canada
stands to lose as much as she gains
But on one item she NAV be quite sue
cessful An increase of Is per cent on
periodicals imported from the United
States will cut down their circulation
and force American advertisers to use
Canadian publications.
The unusual spectacle of two coun-
tries. each the others best customer,
rearing tariff walls against each other
brick for brick. will be watched with
interest and mingled emotions by bust
ness men and politicians everywhere.
Speculation on the outcome is futile.
Time alone will tell how wise or how
foolish such planning is.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-06-04

Seymour Parker Gilbert, formerly agent
general in Germany for reparations
payments. Shortly after Mr. Gilbert
returned from abroad ne was made q
member of the firm of j. P. Morgan
& Co.
Mr.. Gilbert was born in Bloomfield,
N. j., and studied law at Rutgers, where
he graduated in 1912. He Joined the
firm of Cravath e. Henderson in New
York in 1915, and after the United
States entered the World War he was
made a member of the war loan staff
in the Office of the Secretary of the
Treasury. In 1920 he became assistant
to the Secretary.
Then, in 1923, Gen. Dawes and a
group of American bankers drew up The
Dawes plan to solve the PREPARATIONS
problem. This called for an agent in
Berlin and Mr.. Gilbert was made agent
general, in which post he distinguished
himself by his frank and courageous
reports on Germany'S financial situa-
ton and the manner in which he guided
the operations of the plan.
Comment on Depression.
At lsast two university presidents
have commented on the present bust
ness depression: Glenn Frank, presi-
dent of the University Of Wisconsin,
and Robert K. Hutchins, president Of
the University of Chicago.
Mr.. Franks conclusion, which he has
stated on several occasions recently, is
that society has learned to produce
goods but not how to distribute them.
Thus the United States, as we'll as the
rest Of the world finds itself in a pro-
duction impasse.
However, Mr.. Frank thinks if Ameri-
can business men knew as much about
manipulating and providing efficient
machinery for distribution and credit
in such measure that consumption
would approximate production, bust
ness depression would be unknown and
standards of living would constantly
rise.
DR.. Robert Hutchins, Chicago Univer-
sity's youthful president. said yesterday
at Berea College, KY, where his father
is president, that the present depres-
sion can very well be laid to education.
since students today are taught to
memorize rather than to think The
result is that at the time when thinking
is most needed, they show themselves
unequal to the job.
"One half of the world is striving to
obtain goods; the other half is striving
to dispose of them, and we see no means
of bringing them together" said DR..

Hutchins. 1--WE have more money, food
and power than at any period in his
tory, and yet we are poorer, hungrier,
more helpless and more confused than
ever before"
Who will the leaders of the next gen.
Grafton be? he asks. Certainly not
those "who have memorized the ency-
clopedia" Rather, they will be those
who can see and learn essential facts
and who can develop ideas.
Gov. Pinchot's assertion before the
Governors Conference at French Lick
Ind, that about 95 per cent of the
States is controlled by four major
groups will be news to many Ameri-
cans.
The chief executive of Pennsylvania
declared that the Morgan-Mellon group
controls 57.12 per cent of this output;
the North American group, 14.03 per
cent; the Harris Forbes group, 1896
per cent, and the insult group, 1880
per cent.
The Governor further charged that
public utility companies, through their
their enormous profits and charge I'M
considerable rates, which total hun
dreds of millions annually.
State regulation has failed, said
Gov. Pinchot. Federal regulation must
come.
Gov Roosevelt of New York. while
he did not speak on public utilities,
is understood to be in sympathy with
the Pinchot views.

Since both Gov. Pinchot and Gov
Roosevelt are potential candidates for
the presidency next year, business men

trade
Ambassador Charles @. Dawes made
glum New York business leaders laugh
for the first time in six months with
his "wiregram" about modern diplo-
macy being easy on the mind but hell
on the feet
In the good old days before wireless
and cable, when it took messages
months to cross the ocean, the diplo-
mat had a real job of figuring out how
this country could work with other
countries.
Now 1t is different. Ambassadors
wire their governments for immediate
instructions on all questions affecting
their conduct with others. The real
decisions are made by the Secretary Of
State and forwarded to the Diplomat.
So an Ambassadors job seems to be
running around delivering messages
from home. One commentator suggests
that Ambassadors are now "glorified
messenger boys" And Ambassador
Dawes comment seems to lend support
to this view.

Change in Credit Policy.
The Federal Reserve Bank has made
an important change in its credit
policy In assisting the Austrian Ma
tional Bank out of it's difficulties. Aid
has been given other foreign central
banks before, but only in connection
with oney-stabilization plans. This
is the first time in its history that
the Federal Reserve has extended
credit support to such an institution
when it was actually in distress.
This action goes far to indicate the
power welded by the Federal Reserve
in the world money and credit scheme.
The Austrian National Bank came to
grief through the weakened condition
of the Creditanstalt, Austria's largest
commercial bank, which controlled
about $50 industrial units.
Alarmed at the prospect Of a general
financial collapse in Central Europe,
the other powers, through their central
banks and the Bank for International
Settlements. bolstered the Austrian ma
