LEAD THROUGH ANYWAY

WHEN YOU know the defender

guarded trump honors, your nat
ural desire is to lead trumps
through him often enough to re-
duce the value Of his cards to the
absolute minimum. But suppose
you haven't enough trumps in the
dummy. What then? The best pro-
cedure Is to try to play so you may
lead some other suit through him
at the crucial trick or tricks. so

THEIR destruction Is 10 our
Il advantage. if-and that is
the big word-if somebody will
discover a way for European
countries to pay for what they
want to buy.
Up to now, the only solution
offered is that the United States
lend them oney, through
credits or by exchange manipu-
lations.
That means that the Ameri-
can people pay for the goods
that we sell to the Europeans,
and that we agree to be repaid
in goods, which we can ourselves
manufacture, when they have
them 10 offer US.
And we pay for their goods
In credits or cash. Then they
pay the debts with our cash or
their cheaper goods to compete
with our wage scale.
Maybe that is the only way II
can be done. Maybe that is the
only way we can keep our over

Side

THE system Of payment when
u passengers share a taxicab
differs greatly throughout the
country. Is difficult to say
which of the many systems is
the best. A Californian tells me
he got in a cab in Hollywood
with another man. Both were
going to Beverly Hills. The first
man to get out paid what the
meter registered, VIII ich was
S1.60. The taxi skipper switched
the meter back to zero. The
second man was going two
blocks further. He paid what
the meter registered when he
got out, which was 20 cents. So
one passenger paid S1.60 TO get
from Hollywood TO Beverly Hills
and the other paid 20 cents.

be his conclusion that under the
low tariffs we shall enjoy Co.
600, 900 Jobs for which there can
be no more than $4,000, 900
workers if any attention is paid
TO arithmetic.
How does Henry Wallace or
ANYBODY else know what will
bring more jobs out of foreign
trade unless and until he knows
the economic state of trading
countries. the value of money,
ours and theirs, rates of ex-
change, controls of production,
wage scales, standards of living.
For instance, what is the pur-
chasing power OF Germany to-
day; what will il be 10 years
from now? How can any one
tell?
Much is made of our postwar
trade with Soviet Russia.
Yet, every report indicates
that that country is trying 10
borrow $4,000, 100000 for post

In a word. Soviet Russia will
pay us with our own money.

debt and our tax load.
Is that kind of trade worth

DEFORE we can approach this
- question of a tariff ration
ally, we need 10 have some
knowledge of the state Of our
own economy
We need to know what we
shall be competing against, not

but in our own market at home.
Against what, let US say, is
goods manufactured at 81 an

manufactured at 20 or so cents
an hour, or perchance against
slave labor?
That is what we need 10
know before we decide for a
high tariff, a low tariff a re-
ciprocal tariff or any kind OF
tariff.
We need facts which are to-
day unavailable and without
which no intelligent person can
form an opinion.
