Landon On Reciprocity
(New York World -Telegram)

(NeW York World-Telegram
 Governor Landon, we deduce from his Minneapolis speech is in favor of the principle of reciprocity but opposed to the practice of it. thinks foreign trade a good thing but wants to stop trading disbeieves n the theory of isolation but is willing to lead the country into the reality of it.
 Summed up and reduced to its simplest terms last nights speech reveals that the Governor sub scribes to the historic Republican deuson that trade can be made to travel on one-way street. He's all in favor of exports, but dead set against imports
 He lets it be known that he is quite wiling even eager, to sit downsand strike trade bargain with any country-provided, of course that country will agree to buy from us everything want to sell but won't try to sell any of the things we don't want to buy
 The things wouldn't want to buy under the Landon formula, would be those We produce our selves and also those which by some stretch of the imagination might come into competition with what we produce ourselves.
 For example, not only is it bad business to let Canada sell us any butter when our own farmers produce butter but it is also outrageous to permit Brazil to sell us that new jungle product babassu nuts and oils" which, he says also competes vit, our dairy products Similarly and potato growers not only entitled to tariffs on corn and potatoes and tariffs cornsarch and potato starch but also tariffs tapioca and sago which we don't produce but which be made into starches and are, therefore, competitive.
 Carried to its logical extreme this excusonist policy could lead to banning imports coffee because IL coiipeCeS Wlth Amerlcan-made coIIee substitutes and keeping out bananas the theory that Arneri- can consumers would thereby be forced to eat more apples Don't accuse us of originating this absurdity The argument was seriously made in behalf of apple growers when the Smoot-H -Hawey tariff was beir2 framed
 The only conclusion that can be drawn from the Landon speech is that if he is elected and Republi- can House with him the country will be in for 9 resumption of the Congressional log rolling and back scratching which gave the Fordney- -McCumber and Smoot-Hawley tariffs The would be the same old one-to protect the American farmer the Ameri- can market And the result would also be the same the destruction of the farmers market both abroad and at home.
 Somehow can't see the farmers buying that gold brick again.
 They can hardly forget that the year preceding passage of the Smoot-Hawley tariff t.mericas for egn trade toaled $964l 100000 and that four years later the last year under Republican rule, it fallen to S2 934 000000 Nor that three years later when the Roosevelt reciprocal policy had begun to show beneficial results had risen S4 329 Quo OOO

American Navy.
At the suggestion of President
Roosevelt, legislation was being
hurriedly drafted in Congress to
authorize him to order the con-
struction of new battleships II
any other naval power starts
building that type Of ship.
Britain Points Way
Since Great Britain has made
known it's intention to lay down
the keels of two new battleSh1pS
next year, it was regarded as q
foregone conclusion that Britain's
action would lead to the inaugu-
ration of a battleship replacement
program by this country.
In fact, the Navy Department
already was making tentative
plans for construction of two new
battleships. To avoid the neceS-
sity of asking Congress for addl-
tional funds, which President
Roosevelt has indicated he is UNI
willing to do, the Navy was pre-
pared to scrape together enough
money from its available funds to
start construction work.
100000 Needed
Admiral William H. STANDBY,
acting Secretary of the Navy, has
estimated that only four million
dollars will be necessary to start
work on the two new ships and
that the Navy will be able to
gather this sum from available
funds.
The move to make Americas
battleship replacement program
contingent upon the action Of
other naval powers was viewed
as, a compromise between the
Presidents unwillingness to seek
new funds. for the naval building
program at this session and the
Nays perturbation over the
danger of Great Britain snatch
ing away the battleship parity
which has existed between the
two countries since the signing of
the Washington naval treaty.
