The Argument for Protection

As chairman of the newly organized
National acknowledgement Council on
Foreign Trade Policy, may I express to
you in somewhat necessary detail the
position taken by the labor and manage
ment groups which make up the council
in regard to the impact on certain
American industries of the administra-
tion's import policy?
Lower wages than those prevailing in
the United States create the principal
competitive advantage enjoyed by foreign
countries when they ship dutiable mer-
chandise into our domestic market.
These lower wage rates often result
in lower foreign costs and confer price
advantage upon the shipper to our shores,
since his productivity is not generally 50
far below our own as to offset the lower
wages. With the exception Of a few
products, such as automobiles, that are
produced by us, other countries are
not very far behind us in productivity
and are rapidly catching up in many lines
because of the spread Of mechanization.
In the meantime, however, and con-
trary to the theory Of classical economists
and free-trade advocates, the competitive
advantages of imported dutiable goods in
our domestic market are not generally
reducible to superiority of natural re-
sources soil. climate, or greater efficiency
in the countries of origin. Unfortunately
they are attributable in some cases to
simple exploitation Of labor.
Competitive goods that derive their
cheapness from this source therefore
enter higher standard countries with a
spurious economic advantage rather than
a fair one.
Instead of spreading the economic ben
efits often attributed to trade. they un-
dermine the living standards In the

Mud-StrongIed Shanghai

What may be the closing chapter in Shang
hais decline from its former greatness Is dis
closed in recent bulletin Of the United States
Nays photographic office 1t contains the report
of the navigator of the American merchant ship
which visited Shanghai last September to take
on q batch OF American and other refugees The
gist of his report Is that Shanghai the "city
built on mud" is being strangled by the very
ooze from which it arose. Ever since the Com
munists took the city last May, dredging of the
channel up the Yangtze River has ceased. And
in default of that vitality necessary operation tho
silt-laden waters OF the mighty river are 50
choking the channel that, within year. Shang-
hal will be inaccessible to Commercial shipping
OF any Importance" regardless of the Nationalist
blockade.
This news has symbolic as well as practical
significance. Shanghai was Western creation
tranSplanted to Chinese soil. century ago
there was nothing there except a sprawling
Chinese town set alongside muddy creek how-
ing laziy into the nearby Yangtze. Then the
British and later other Western Powers obtained
concession" at this seemingly unlikely spot
where their merchants could do business accord
ing to their own methods, enjoying extra
territorial" rights to protect them from Chinese
exactions. So Western-run Shanghai rapidly
developed into the commercial metropolis of the
Far East, the richest and most populous city in
all Asia and the third busiest port in the whole
world. It's famous "bund' was lined with stately
banks, office buildings, clubs and hotels. It's
civic administration and public utilities were
models of efficiency.
All this, however, rested on Western control
and management. Shanghais eclipse began with
the Japanese occupation of 1887. 1t was accentu-
ated when the Chinese Nationalists took full
control in 1945. Chinese Communist rule made

commercial intercourse with the West, the Red
victors harried the remaining Western business
and financial interests until even the hardest
of them are despairingly anxious to leave The
city is prey to economic stagnation And now
that the indispensable dredging has ceased, it
is rapidly reverting to the insignihcance from
which 1t arose.

Better Thon Sovinas Account

OSttSI suOu JOVlu9S HSSOuNV
This is to thank someone who gave
rare type Of blood to the Red Cross bank,
for this blood helped person close to me,
my wife. Her blood was typed as O. Rh
negative. of which she used three pints.
Last August l responded to an appeal
by the mobile unit accepting gifts OF
blood to the Red Cross, and one pint of
B Rh positive blood went into the blood
bank. I never thought then that we
might need some other type in the near
future. In short, 1t was better than q
savings account.
The doctor ordered blood transfusions
for my wife to build her up for surgery.
So went down to the Red Cross labora-
tory at 1880 E street NV. and gave an
other pint. With this had two pints to
our credit. They were exchanged for the
rare and hard-to-get type. And my wife
received the precious life-strengthening
1uid. Last Friday she was on the op-
Grating table and was given a third pint
OF blood. Her rapid comeback and re-
covery has been the talk out there at
the Washington Sanitarium.
This third pint was advanced in good
faith by the Red Cross. Someone can
help the blood bank and this grateful
correspondent by making q gift of any
type Of blood. A little booklet which I
received with my credit card for the last
pint Of blood says that whole blood may
stop fatal hemorrhage during an opera
tion or strengthen 4 failing patient for
another operation" It did just that for
my wife.
Now is the time to give q pint of blood.
1t does not hurt to give, nor do you have
to give until 1t hurts. You will be sur
prised at the dispatch and the courtesy
displayed by the skilled attendants,
nurses and doctors. Just call the Blood
Donor Service at District 5042, and ar
range for an appointment today

In sad and loving memory of our
dear nephew, Billy Carpenter, who
was killed November 16, 1919:
Do not ask us if we miss him,
There is such a vacant place;
We cannot forget his foot steps,
Nor his dear and loving face.
Though death may part us for awhile,
It never can erase
The memory of our loved ones smile
For memories will always stray
As the years passing by.
And there is comfort in the thought
That love can never die.
God gave us strength to bear il
And courage to fight this blow;
But what it meant to lose him
NO one will ever know.
