SOUTH LOOKS
CLOSE AT OUR
TARIFF LAWS
EY COL. WINFIELD JONES
WASHINGTON, May 19—(Special
Correspondence). —- Pan-America is
watching our new tariff bills. Every
South’and Central American country
that exports its products to the
United States is interested in the
temporary and permanent tariff bills,
and particularly in the permanent
tariff bill which is expected to be en
acted into law about the middle of
next August.
Argentina exports vast quantities of
wheat, hides, meat and cattle by
produts to the United States. Brazil
supplies practically all our coffee.
Central America is our great foreign
fruit market.
Argentina does not want a high
American tariff on hides, cattle or
wheat. The American markets for
these products are now the best that
Argentina has because Europe is not
yet able to take the surplus of Ar
gentina because Europe has not re
covered from the the effects of
the World war and is unable to pay
for a heavy* volume of imports of
these products. Besides, the Argen
tines can sell better in the United
States than they can in Europe. On
the other hand our own cattle and
wheat growers are pushing congress
for a high tariff on cattle and wheat.
They will probably have their way
in regard to these schedules. Argen
tina takes vast quantities of manufac
tured goods from the United States.
The tariffs on these goods are now
not high at Argentina ports. But if
our tariff bills provide a stiff protec
tion „ against Argentina agricultural
products Argentina will be forced to
increase her tariff rates on American
manufactured products, in order to
keep up her trade balances, and also
as a retaliation against the American
tariffs.
American meat packers are heavily
interested in the Argentine cattle in
dustry and of course under such cir
cumstances will not want a tariff that
will tend to bar out free importations
of Argentina cattle and hides.
The American wheat growers, how
ever, have long suffered from the
competition of Argentina wheat, and
our agricultural interests probably
will be able to, put through a protec
tive schedule for wheat in the new
tariff bills.
Similarily Brazil will strenuously
object to what she may consider a
too high schedule on coffee imports
into the United States. Brazil, like
Argentina, is one of our best markets
for manufactured products. That
country, too, may retaliate with a
higher tariff against American pro
ducts if congress puts a heavy im
duty on Brazilian coffee.
The Central American countries
that ship fruits to the United States
will also protest against a tariff
which they may consider too high on
fruits, particularly bananas. They,
too, may increase their tariffs on
American manufactured imports.
The tariff, in short, is a weapon
that cuts both way. It will have to
be constructed by congress so that
none of the pan-American nations
take offense, and at the same time
so drafted that American producers
feel that they have at least a meas
ure of protection against foreign com
petition. It is one of the most diffi
cult problems this congress will have
to solve.
Government business experts and
many members of congress are com
ing to believe more and more that
our export trade to pan-America is
our best foreign market, especially
in the future.
Most of the pan-American markets
lie closer to our shores than the Eu
ropean or Asiatic markets, and it is
only natural that our foreign com
merce should be developed quicker
and become of greater volume on
our own western hemisphere, rather
than in Europe or Asia. This is par
ticularly so as the Panama canal
now gives us easy access to the west
coast of South America. With free
tolls through this waterway for
American ships American exporters
will have an immense advantage over
their European rivals for the for
eign trade of this part of the world.
Then, too, the pan-American na
tions, living under the protection oi
the Monroe doctrine, should prefer
to do their business with the nation
that protects their republican form ol
government, rather than with Euro
pean and Asiatic nations that would
be only too glad to make territorial
aggressions against them were it not
for the threat of the Monroe doctrine
Former Emperor William of Ger
many once said that “the future oi
Germany lies on the sea.” The fu
ture of the United States lies on
the sea, too, and the pan-American
markets are the logical places for the
expansion of American sea-bourne
commerce.
European nations, also, Great Brit
tain, France, Italy and Spain are
closely watching the progress in
congress of the new tariff bills. These
nations do an immense export and im
port business with the United States
and are vitally interested in the
new tariffs.
WHAT DENVER PASTORS
THINK OF ‘EVERYWOMAN’
Rev. Clarence J. Tinker, Denver:
“If the modern woman wishes a pic
ture of herself, she will find a mirror
in “Everywoman.”
Rev. H. C. Fox, Denver: “To hie it
seems a good moral lesson. "Every
woman” is a clean picture and may
save many love-sick aspirants.”
Rev. Robert B. H. Bell, Denver:
“Every woman should see “Every
woman” where the author has honest
ly and cleverly presented the prob
lems of every woman.”
The screen adaption of Walter
Browne's famous morality play,
“Everyivoman” will arouse universal
interest. The production is elabor
ately staged, wonderfully gowned, and
excellently enacted by one of the
best all-star casts ever assembled.
Every player is a well known actor
of more than ordinary ability; beau
tiful women are constantly on view
during the passing of the eight reels.
“Everywoman” is “something dif
ferent”—something out of the ordi
nary. As a play it aroused a storm of
argument for and against. As a pic
ture, it will create the same dis
cussion. You may find it a feast of
reason. You may say there s nothing
to it. But about one thing there
can be no difference of opinion—it’s
one of the most talked about plays
of the season—sumptuously mounted,
marvelously enacted—carrying vital
appeal to every thoughtful man and
woman of the day.
“Everywoman” is showing for the
last time tonight.
Tomorrow night, only, “The Road
Called Straight,” a rapid-fire action
western picture produced by Gold
wyn, also- a two-reel Mack Sennett
“corker” of a comedy, “Back to the
Kitchen.” You all known the Mack
Sennett comedies. Snuff said!
