. Your Opinions
Toriffs

Editor The Times: I am sure
the following quotation from
late report of the London Eng
land) Chamber of Commerce will
interest your Republican high
tariff" readers:
1T is widely admitted that
there was something radically
wrong with our economic sys-
tenn. 1t was palpably absurd that
nations should be desperately
anxious to export more of their
real wealth to other nations than
they received in return. 1t was
equally absurd that men in want
of the necessities of life should
be denied the money with which
TO buy them because there was
superabundance of those neces-
saries and therefore their serv-
ices were not required to make
more"
l have had occasion to call at
tention to this absurdity in pre-
vious communications. hence I
am pleased to have my conten-
ton supported by such authority.

Now it's synetheic wool. First output
of the new industry is on the market.
Most of it has been taken by the armed
forces but small quantity is available for
civilian use in areas near the manufactur-
ing centers in the east
One might ask why-with so much
wool from Australian sheep available-it
should be necessary to make substitute.
The answer is similar to that given when
rayon first appeared. 1t is cheaper and
eventually it should be sold at fraction of
the price of the natural substance
Pulp fiber, protein, etc. are the basis of
the product as in the case of artificial
silk Raw materials vary and a pyramid

A New York policeman arrested World
War veteran for sitting on park bench
and criticizing President Roosevelt and
the conduct of the war to another man in
private conversation. A fagistrate SEN
fenced the offender to 30 days in the work
house The appeals court reversed the
conviction.
That is good news 1t proves that we
still have the free speech for which, among
other freedoms, we are fighting. So long
as We are loyal to the United States and
do not assist her enemies, we still are
privileged to express our dissatisfaction
with our hired men in public office and
with the way they are carrying out our
instructions to beat Hitler.
We don't even have to be right We can
go off half-cocked like some of the anti
New Deal members in congress and make
the most ridiculous statements without
batting an eye.
