Show AN INCONSISTENT ECONOMIST. JOSEPHUS DANIEL'S paper down in Raleigh, North Carolina, boasts that this is a creditor nation. True. It became a creditor nation because, under war conditions, we sold more than we bought. Just before the war began, we were buying more than we sold, that condition having been brought about under the Democratic tariff' law, the enactment of which was favored by Daniels and his political associates. Just how Daniels is favoring the re-dection of a Democratic Demo-cratic senate and house which will continue the Democratic tarifi' law, and encourage our people to buy abroad instead of at home, thus discouraging our home industries and multiplying the industries of our commercial rivals. Daniels tries to make us a debtor nation but boasts of our being a creditor nation. He would be more consistent if he would vote for the candidates for the senate and house who stand for a "Made in America" policy. Eternal vigilance is still the price of liberty. If the people and4t press of the country had not made instant and vigorous protest against the new series of peace notes, there is no knowing how far the correspondence would have gone. We might have suffered as severe a diplomatic defeat as we did in the German correspondence in 1915- 16 and the Mexican correspondence in which Carranza scored a ' victory. sk sk sk One of the first acts of Food Administrator Hoover was to ask the dining cars to cut down the size of the portions served.
