era for our shipping will continue
after the war is over. AS arrive
home from my trip to the Orient,
am convinced Of one thing: Japan
and China can together create the
most formidable industrial machine
in the world. They can make and
export products at unbelieyably low
prices. They can sweep the goods
of every other nation. with the pos
-ible exception OF Russia, off the
seas. The only way other nations
can compete with Japan and China
is by entirely changing their pres
ent economic set-up.
Self Sufficiency a Snare
I am very bullish on the United
States for the next few years, but
sooner or later we are going into
a REAL depression. As I reflected
on living habits and standards in
my home town Of Wellesley, they
seem so artificial and wasteful that
I wonder how long they can con-
tinue. We are all living in a FOOLS
paradise with no regard for what
the future has in store for our
children.
By our policy OF isolation and
our walls OF tariff. are We not
following the Chinese? The reason
China is so weak today is because
her people felt sufficient unto them
selves and refused to compete with
the rest of the world in scientific
methods and progressive learning.
We are as foolish i. reducing hours
and fixing prices as were the Chi
nese in their belief that because
they were the greatest, oldest, and
richest nation they had nothing TO
fear. I wonder if some day there
may be a parallel in our histories.
Ne expect to save ourselves by a
great tariff wall just as the Chinese
tried to save themselves by a great
stone wall.
Japan Our Industrial Enemy
The japanese have kept their
heads and have not tried such silly
actions. As a result, I think that
they can. with tae help Of China,
control the manufactures of the
world The United States can keep
our foreign goods with tariff wall;
out our wall can not prevent the
Japanese from flooding our Gus
5omers in South and Central Amer
ica and in other world markets with
manufactured goods.
America. TO save herself, MUST
change her attitude toward union
labor, price-fiXing hour limitations,
and the like I wish Frances Per
kins had been with me on my trip.

turers. I know their faults. I an ad-
