Show I THE PRESIDENTS PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE By L. L A A. Hollenbeck President Coolidge has Just delv delivered ered his first message to congress T There cre are some things In it that are re commendatory but there are art other matters that are of very ver doubtful doubt ful policy There is no foreign market market market mar mar- ket for wheat and he recommends that the production of ol wheat be cut down so that ha we will vise ise only enough to the United Unite States yn mp p 5 y In the same t Pape apel with the comes the o i teI market reports that show l that tbt co is bringing bridging a higher prices price I in New 7 Australia an J an-J England and md other places that it ft I is bringing in I he United Unit Unit- United ed cd States If It the reasoning is good that we should cut down the production production production pro pro- of ot wiled l le satisfy only our own market it h is h alo aio o true asto asto as asto to wool In the same paper we are also told that there ar are arc hUh hills introduced intro intro- in congress to appropriate e to buy wheat to ship to starving tarv ng Germany That Thit will make a foreign market for oar our wl eat but butT bute T V e o will buy it ft and pay pal for it same S as as w we did when we TO wheat beat tos to s starving Russia We Ye ha any foreign market except as to goods that hat that have a low tariff tari upon or or orno no tariff ariff at all That brings rings in a good reve revenue ue to the government but the big interests get twenty dollars where we get gAt one on il a a tariff ariff tax The president also tells tolls us that thil the government should op operate he the millions of ot dollars worth of ot government govern oVern government ment ships that are rotting in Ches Ches- peake bay and other places and after atter af at- at- at ter we work up a trade then w we should sell the ships Why not sell sellI I the ships at once or reduce the tha I tariff so that the ships can be used Why are those sl ships rot rotting ng BeI Because Because Be Be- cause ause there is iss no business for Cor them I Why hy is there no business for foi them I I Simply Simply-l because the tarl tariff tax Is no ro high that foreign nations can cannot afford af afford af- af t- t 1 ford Cord to buy goods of us That is when foreigners bring goods to our o our r shores they have to pay such a high I tax for the privilege of selling these goods in America that they canno cann cannot t tafford afford to trade with us That cuts off our foreign trade and the worlds world's business is done among other nations na nations na- na l that do donot not have prohibitive taxes on foreign goods Slapping goes by natural laws and when the statutes contradict natural laws the natural law will prevail That is s a I sort of a habit of natural law Jaw It It has no respect for an unnatural statutory statutory statutory stat stat- law Jaw Natural taw law is not patrIotic patriotic patriotic patri patrI- otic it is just natural that's thaLa all aU That great government shipping is rotting because the high tariff Is opposed opposed opposed op op- op- op posed to natural law Pi Coolidge wants us to operate that shipping anyway Well If Jr we do dowe dowe dowe we will operate it at a great loss and if we must have a high tar tar- tariff tarU U and shut ourselves off oU from foreign i trade then we might as well s sell ll the shipping at once and pocket our OUt loss as to suffer it by piecemeal Why cut off oft a lambs lamb's tall taU an inch ata ata at ata a time so that it wont hurt so much A moderate tariff on some things so as to even up uv conditions with cheap foreign labor Is all right enough but you know that a good thing is often overdone A man eats cats a reasonable meal Jf If he is a glutt glut glut- t ton n he still keeps on OIl eating Tint That Is too much of a good thing So with the thc tariff V While lle a 3 tn moderate lerat tariff sometimes aids a high tariff tarter is an Injury The wheat tho the wool and other items are higher in price in foreign markets than the Boston market Why dont don't we ship to the foreign market then Because tho the foreigner in shipping his go goods ds to the United States has to sell his goods s so low after aCter paying the American Ameri Ameri- can tax that the cheap American wool or wheat that he buys will not give him enough profits to make up for lor the loss 1038 on the g goods that he sells us That paralyzes business and cuts off our foreign wool and wheat market mar and holds d down wn the price and who gets the benefit of all an of ot this thia Why the American speculators and grafters get the benefit of course and it all comes out of the peoples people's pocket and they are I robbed and made to believe that that- they are I I I I There are strange things happening happenIng happen happen- ing in American politics and we e j think are smart too The fact tact still BUn remains remains remains re re- re- re mains that we are ate devoid of a r real al foreign policy The president favors favors far far- ors ora the world court but is scared to death at the league of nations The want to stay out entirely entirely en en- en- en and the world court people want to go in and stay out all at atthe atthe atthe the same time But the court and the league go hand in hand That is the natural law of it and natural law will prevail 0 |
