Tariff ''Protection" Seen
AS Fallacy By Haney

unless we buy from them. Trade
always has to be tWo-sided.
The paralysis of foreign trade
is one of the great factors in
this depression, and the high
tariffs which we and other ma
tions have put up since the war
have made things worse.
But. you ask, what about
wages? Does protection not keep
wages up? This is one of the
most serious delusions that ever
affected the American people.
Most certainly high tariffs do
not make high wages.
Wages Were High
Wages were high in this
country before we had any pro-
tective tariff. In order to get
certain desirable industries started
in the early days, we gave them
protection. Then the manu-
facturers turned around and
claimed that the high tariffs had
caused the high wages.
Don't you know that wages are
extremely low in some countries
like Spain and Germany, where
tariffs are very high? Wages were
lower in those countries than in
England when England had free
trade.
1t is fact that French manu-
faCturerS have actually demanded
protection from our exports. They
have claimed that American high
paid labor has so much skill and
efficiency that its products have
hurt the low-priced French work
erS! That sounds strange.
Claim Unreasonable
How unreasonable it is to claim
that high tariffs mean high wages,
and then turn around and say
that the high wages are such a
disadvantage to American indus
try that we have to put on high
tariffs!
One thing that most economists
agree upon is that protective
tariffs reduce the total real in
come of the nation, and do not
have anything to do with high
American wages.

BY LEWIS HANEY
Professor Of Economics,
Mem YORK EniUerSitu

The tariff question is again
alive. 1t behooves the American
citizen to reconsider the argu-
ments.
First, we should bear in mind
that the issue concerns "protec-
ton" Low tariffs which do not
shut out imports may yield much
revenue, but they do no protect.
We are now talking about very
high tariffs which shut out i'm
ports and thus protect" manu-
facturers here. Of course, to the
extent they keep out imports they
yield no revenue.
Prevents Specializing
The big argument against pro-
lection is that it prevents the ma
ton from specializing in the in
dustries for which it is best fitted.
For example, we have great nat
ural advantages for producing
steel, machinery, cheap cotton
cloth and many other products.
In these things our natural re-
sources are great and our people
are skilled producers.
Why, then, should we not spe-
cialize in the industries for
which we are best fitted? In that
way, our labor and capital can
be most productive and profit
able.
But if we try to produce every
thing under the sun, and under
take to protect" all sorts of in
dustries, we are bound to take on
some for which we are not we'll
fitted, and thus waste our ener-
gies and make less profit.
Wasted Efforts
Why should we waste our time,
skill, and energy trying to COM
pete with Japan in producing
grass rugs and safety matches?
Why should we not buy our
picket knives from Germany, and
our Strawbraid from ,Cecho-Slo-
vakia. Get them specialize too,
and supply us more cheaply than
we can ourSelveS)
That is what we fail to do
when we protect" the manufac-
turers of these things. We en-
courage our labor and capital
to do things that are less produc-
tive than others. Protection tends
to make the nation a Wasteful
Jack of all trades"
1t follows from this that the
total income of the nation is
not as large as it might be. If
we as a nation were to specialize
on the industries we are best fit
ted for, and to 4Sade our products
for other pr6dWcts which foreign
nations can produce more cheaply,
we would be better off.
More Comforts for All
All of us could have more of
the comforts and convenienceS of
life. The cost of living would be
lower. There would be more fore
eign trade. Labor would be bet
ter employed and could live bet
ter.
You must remember that when
we stop imports we also stop ex-
ports We can't sen to foreigners
