POSTWAR TARIFFS

RECAUSE WE are engaged, in so Single-mlnded
manner, IN prosecuting the military war
against the Axis, there is a general tendency to
forget that the predatory nature of the fascist
powers has never been confined mere y to military
ambition. In the pre-war period, we should recall
Germany's and Japan's economic armament was
as much Of a threat to American industry as was
their military armament to world peace. The
cessation of hostities will leave this problem far
from solved. In fact, even a cursOry Summng-up
of the economic developments likely in the post
war world will show that the problem of economic
natonalism will be more acute than ever.
Economic warfare is not merely the race to
get there firstest with the mostest goods It's
danger lies in the effect it must inevitably have on
wage levels and labor standards. AS the war pro-
ceeds, the disparity between American high stand
ards of living and standards of living in other
countries becomes more and more marked; with
the resumption of international trade when the
war is ended our high standard of living will be-
come the most vulnerable in the world.
In the postwar world, the United States will
be dealing with countries in which foreign trade
has become in whole or in part state activity.
We will be dealing with debtor nations attempting
to repay our loans in the form of cheap COM
modities, since they will be in no position to repay
us in gold its equivalent. We will be competing
with the products of sWeated, forced or cOolie
labor OF with products manufactured in countries
with wage and living standards far below our own.
AS protection against the consequences OF
only our anachronistic and illogical tariff SYSTEM
in whch-as an instance-an ad valorem tariff of
25 per cent would be applied equally against a
Japanese and a British product, thus effectualy
shutting out imports of the British goods, pro-
duced under conditions more OF less comparable to-
ours while still allowing the Japanese to flood our
market with products at rock-bottom prices.
This situation fairly pleads for correction and
must be corrected. AS beginning, tariff rates on
competitive imports could be readusted on the
basis of known differences in the cost Of produc
ton. sliding scale Of tariffs, flexible enough to
take into account changing conditions in the coun
try from which the product comes, would be Of
great assistance in clearing up the present muddle
For the rest, if we are to preserve our living
standards, and give ourselves fair chance for
postwar rcadjustment and recover, the entire
problem Of foreign trade demands immediate
study and consideration. Upon the procedures
which we set up to regulate foreign commerce will
depend the Jobs of American workers, the ability
of American industry to make the transition from
wartime to peace-time production without pass
ing through deep crisis or a depression, and the
entire economic health of the United States.

INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION

ON NOVEMBER forty-four nations signed an
agreement establishing the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Administration. UNItRA
began to function at once through a meeting of
its Council, the policy making agency. Central
Committee of the Relief and Rehabilitation Ad-
mnIStration, consisting of representatives of the
United States, China Russia and Great Britain,
has executive powers and will carry on when the
Council is not in session. The director-general,
elected by the Council, acts as chairman of the
Central Committee, without vote, and is respon-
sible for executing the plans of the Administra-
tiOn.
1t has been agreed by the nations signing the
agreement that the costs of relief for liberated
countries will be borne by them. The funds to
enable our country to participate in the relief
work which will enable the liberated lands to get
on a fighting basis to help end the war more
quickly.
The activity made possible by this agreement
is of great Importance in itself. But, in addition,
in the creation Of this new United Nations agency
through which common will and common pul-
pose may be made eifectve-We have a demon
Stration that international problems can be dealt
with when nations are willing to act collectively
TO set up requisite machinery.
The UNRRA agreement plus the historic
agreement reached at Moscow should provide the
Axis and the world with further proof that we of
the United Nations are fighting for principles.
This war is costing so much that we are under
heavy obligation to utilize the opportunities
earned at such price BY so doing shall de-
vclop experience in international cooperation.
Such cooperation is regarded by countless mil
lions as the key to enduring peace after victory
in the present war has been won.

RED CROSS WAR FUND

Cross, Chairman Norman II. Davis an
nounced this week.

Quired by the national organization 10
finance its national and international
activities, of which approximately 50
per cent will be spent directly for Red
Cross services to Americas men in the
fighting forces, Mr.. Davis said. The
remainder of the national goal, or
S6O,OOO,OOO represents the approximate
aggregate of the amounts required by
the 31a6 chapters for work in their
local communities, the ma jor portion
of which is for assistance TO service
men and their families.
"While our 1914 objective is tn"
largest campaign goal in Red Cross
history" Mr. Davis said, lit represents
the minimum amount required to meet
constantly increasing demands from
the Army and Navy for Red Cross
services. The magnitude of our job is
greater than ever before. The Ameri-
can people have never failed to respond
to an appeal from the Red Cross. In

ouSly to enable the organization to dis
charge its responsibilities TO our

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Pictures appearing recently in the
newspapers gave vivid proof of mans
inhumanity to man."
First are photographs of Nazi bar
barity at Kharkov, typical of what
occurred in many other Russian cities
captured by the Germans. Exhibit a
shows long narrow grave filled with
the bodies of Kharkov's citizens. Thou
sands We're shot or asphyXiated in Spe-
cial murder vans" which We're filled
with gas.
Exhibit No. . is a picture of two
citizens of Orel who would not work
for the NaZis and were hanged. They
swing from trees in a wintry land
Scape Three thousand war prisoners
and residents of Orel We're shot, tor
tured or starved to death, the Russians
say. There is no reason to doubt the
figures are substantially correct. And
they are only fraction of the total
invaders.
Second are photographs of starva-
ton in India. These pictures are, if
anything more horrible than those of
the Nazi savagery in Russia. Street
Scene shows an emaciated boy and
his faithful dog. dead of starvation on
a street in Calcutta. Another depicts
some of the 100 we are told died daily
at the famine's peak.
In another photo, a Hindu mother
keeps watch over her dead baby. Still
another shows an infants body being
loaded on the wagon bearing cOrpseS
to police stations.
The British say they cannot spare
the ships to send food to India. This
seems incredible. Perhaps the war ef-
fort would suffer temporarily to some
degree if ships were diverted to food
carrying. But is there any good reason
for not using some of them?
incidentally, while civilians starve
in India and The British Government
takes no adequate steps to save them.
Indian troops are fighting with the ut
most bravery and devotion on the
bloody Italian front.
Words fail in denOuncing the crimes
of the Germans in Russia and other
German-Occupied territory, where it
would seem the ultimate in savage
cruelty and balbarism had been reach
ed. But what of India? True, it is not
the result of deliberate action by the
British it is the result of what they
have not done and apparently will not
do.
And the British, it should not be for
gotten, are the ones primarily reSpon-
sible for the failure to send food to
civilians in occupied Europe. Men who
should know, such as Herbert Hoover,
say civilians, in particular the chill
dren, can be fed without aiding the
Germans. Yet the Churchill cabinet
perSStently refuses to lift the food
blockade, in the face of plain evidence
that its policy will lead to lasting
bitterness and resentment in Europe.
AS DR.. Edmund \. Walsh, noted
Catholic educator and clergyman said
recently, in discussing the British
policy, II greatly fear that the memory
of it in days to come will rise like the
ghost of Banquo to plague the cabinet
which still insists on it."-OEC.
