mine in advance how much of its in
come will go for rent, clothing, anC
food, and how much remains for edu
cation, recreation, travel and Other
items. No one, however, can decide il
advance what a years cost of sickness
will be. Any serious illness or acci

Both these factors the inter-rela

the unpredictability of individual cases
of illness seem to us TO indicate clearly
that the problem is of kind whose
solution lies in an application of the
principles of insurance. Spreading the
risks of unpredictable costs that are
too heavy for one individual or one
family to bear is traditional in
America.

BY BERTRAND w. HALL, Seerettar
The American Tariff League

In his recent report on the Breton
Woods currency plan, Winthrop Aid
rich joins the campaign of foreign and
American groups for continued drastic
reduction-even elimination-of United
States tariffs.
The campaign is apparently aimed
at creating an atmosphere favorable
to extension of the expiring Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act before the hear
ings begin.
That the level of American import
duties even prior to the war was
among the lowest of the worlds great
trading nations seems to be completely
overlooked by these groups. Moreover,
since 1884, when the Act went into
effect, more than 1900 tariff rates have
been reduced. Nearly half were re-
duced the full so per cent permissible
under the law. Reductions granted one
country were automatically extended
to all other countries, except Germany.
The full impact of this vast rewrit-
ing of our tariff structure has not been
felt because of the war. Instead of
calling for further tariff reductions, it
would seem more logical to consider
the effect on our postwar national

Over period of years in negotiating

with both sides agreeing to a round

method can we hope to maintain peace

In supporting the stand taken by our

is hard to believe how anyone could be

Labor Government
In All-Out Booking
Of Union Workers
Has Already Drafted Legis-
Lotion Granting Collective
Bargaining Rights

New York City (ILNS}.-Th first
socialist and labor government on the
North American continent, the Coop
erative Commonwealth Government OF
Saskatchewan, Canada, has made la
Dor history by inviting a negotiating
committee representing the Trades and
Labor Congress, AFL, the Canadian
Congress of Labor, CIO, and the Rail
road BrOtherhoods to propose labor
legislation, the Workers Defense
League says.
The Cooperative Commonwealth
Federation (CCF), Canada's socialist
and labor party, won the provincial
election i'm July, capturing AZ of 81
seats in Parliament. The new govern
ment, under Premier r. c. Douglas,
is pledged to complete support of the
labor movement. In its short 11-year
history, CCF, has risen from an OBJ
scure third party to the largest party
in Englsh-speaking Canada.
The CCF government has already
drafted legislation granting collective
bargaining rights for workers, which
are said to be the most advanced on
the American continent. 1t has with
drawn all nOn-war industry from any
wartime labor restrictions.
In addition, CCF labor Minister Will
liam said that the general principles
established by the government in re-
gard to emplOyer-employee relations,
would also apply to civil service. In
this respect, the government would be
