High Import Tariffs
It's easy to see why American
manufacturers liked high import
tariffs. Maybe they were short
sighted in doing SO, but they didn't
think they were. The protective
system tended to keep foreign manu-
facturers from breaking into the
Yankee market in competition with
our domestic folk, which enabled
latter to maintain stiff domestic
prices. If they over-produced trif-
lie they sold their surplus abroad for
what they could get-often for less
than they charged here. But they
didn't produce much, because
a factory can limit its output very
readily.
But agriculture is different. Ame-
rican farmers not only can over
produce in proportion to the home
demand for their crops. They gen.
orally do. Occasionally they have
a bad year, with high prices but not
much to sell. And when a farmer
does have favorable cluvatic year
he can't prevent his stuff from grow
ing-he doesn't want to, for that
matter. Consequently he usually
has lots of crops, but skimpy do
mestic demand for them. Hence he
needs foreign outlet. Else his sur
plus depresses his domestic prices.
Meantime, protected manufacturdom
has socked him with fancy figures
upon everything he's had to pur-
chase. The poor ruralite has been
squeezed going and coming.
"PrOtectiOn" Hurts Farmers
In justice to the manufacturers, it
must be admitted that they invari-
ably have been super-w willing to
grant agriculture any amount OF
tariff protection.
Tariff protection, while extremely
nice for an interest which seeks to
exclude imports, is extremely dam
aging to an interest which seeks ex-
ports
This notion finally soaked into
the agricultural bean. It became
! obvious to the farmer that what he
required was a protective tariff in
reverse-of some sort. In other
words, he needed to be subsidized
domestically, to enable him to un-
dersell all competitors in foreign
Misunderstanding the American pub
lie for the subsidy to enable him to
do it
1t was just as logical as the manu-
facturers' protective tariff, but the
manufacturers Immediately saw the
economic fallacy of tit would
counteract their profits
That was the nub of the celebrat-
cd McNary-Haugen bill, back in
President Coolidge's time. 1t was
the protective tariff-backward II

Hull Versus Wallace
State Secretary Hull's thesis is a
free international exchange of every
thing every way. That's the purpose
Henderson daily dispatch., 1939-06-21

of his reciprocal trade agreements, of
which he's framed about 20 up to
date-a middling good beginning
They're not 100 per cent free trade,
but that's their tendency. A world
policy!
Under the old game agriculture
was stung, according to Secretary
Hull at the manufacturers expense.
Which so crippled agriculture that
manufacturing felt the general eco
nomic effects of it.
But Secretary Wallace continues
to calculate agriculture separately
President Roosevelt hasn't said
which side he supports.
It's mean muss, though, be-
tween members of the same cabi-
net.
It isn't inter-partisan, anyway. It's
ntra-ecOnOmic. ~
