there is somewhere In the northern Sierra Madres a lost silver mine from which rich bullion In far past years was carried by muleback to Mexico City that in “Apacheria" in Arizona there Is a hidden

The author who is a practical business man as well as an enthusiastic exponent of a cause is not naive enough to suppose that nationals would give up any part of their sovereignty or abolish trade barriers out of an idealistic impulse to make a sacrifice for the welfare of the rest of the world pnn-cipaliti- cs Every Nation’s Interest So he attunes his plea to a lower and more familiar level— self interest World political unity and economic freedom is desirable he contends for the same reason that national unity and economic freedom is desirable If a central authority and free movement of trade within a nation can improve standards of living In the United States Great Britain France Italy and Germany why can't those conditions if applied to the whole woild accomplish the same results on an International scale? It is a beautiful picture which Mr But there is one Newfang paints question he leaves unanswered — how to convince the nations and their peoples that it is more profitable to trade than to fight that It is better to settle a dispute in a court than to slaughter each other A casual inspection of the national and international scenes suggests that the current direction of travel is away rather than toward the goal outlined by Mr Newfang To cite but one example it appears that the people of the United States are slowly but surely abandoning the principle of free exchange of goods even within their own nation Interstate barriers to trade are springing up In surprising number And if people are willing to discard national economic freedom for some real or imagined temporary advantage it is going to be a long 's long journey around to Mr point of view— 0 N M New-fang- |
