Henry A. Wallace's approach to this

mood of making haste slowly in the application Of
radical prescriptions.
And so the country so far manfests no large
enthusiasm for the theory that this creditor people
can cease it's importation of foreign goods, "Buy
American" and thus restore fourishing conditions
in its production and trade
The proponents of "Buy American" point with
alarm to the volume of imported commodities and
manufacturers total of S2,O00,000,OO0 in 1881.
But these advocates of national sef-sufficiency do
not look at the other side of the question.
The United States still sells abroad goods in the
sum of about $3OOOOO,O0O more a year than we
purchase abroad. Secretary of Commerce Chaplin
states that the export trade provides 100000 jobs
for Americans
Cut off imports and you must inevitably reduce
exports You increase unemployment at home as
well as abroad.
Thousands of Americans are dependent upon the
export trade, and thousands also find their live-
hood in the activities made possible by the import
business.
"Buy American" any scale producing tang-
bic results, would simply reduce still further the
number of Americans employed, the number main
tanning themselves and their dependents, the num-
Der buying and selling and thereby keeping money
in circulation.

trum. The sooner all nations reject it, the better
