THE TARIFF WRANGLE
The future welfare of the South, if not, indeed, the
entire country, is so inextricably bound up in the resto
ration of foreign markets for our surplus raw products
that it will be nothing short of calamitous if Congress
should adjourn without passage of the tariff bill in such
form as will give the President practically a free hand
in scaling down insurmountable trade barriers and nego
tiating reciprocal agreements with foreign countries.
Industry has shortened hours and raised wages, in
creasing overhead whether revenue justified it or not,
yet there still are eleven million unemployed persons in
this country; the Bankhead bill has been enacted into
law, restricting cotton production to ten million bales,
in an effort to stimulate the price of the staple, yet the
market hes registered a decline since passage of this
bill. It is quite patent that we cannot depend indefiniely
on artificial stimulation (although as an expedient it
hag its virtues) but that something more fundamental is
needed, and the sooner we get it, the sooner we can dis
card some of the theories that sound better than they
work.
Secretary Wallace, himself, has declared that unless
trade relations with foreign countries are re-established,
it will be necessary to retire from cultivation fifty million
acres of land. Just what would become of the thousands
of farmers, thus deprived of employment, is a question
that those oppesed to tariff revision have nbdt chosen to
answer. We are quite certain Senator David Reed, of
Pennsylvania, Republican arch-opponent of lower tariff,
would not wish them to descend upon the Pittsburgh dis
trict where more industrial workers are said to be out
of jobs than in any other like area in the universe. This,
despite the faet that the present Republican tariff law
was enacted on the premise that it protects the working
man’s job by shutting out cheaply manufactured foreign
products. '
In reality, though, that claim is so much ballyhoo to
catch the laborer’s vote. What the ‘eastern manufac
turer is really interested in—and always has been—is a
system which enables him to fix any price for his pro
duct that his fancy dictates. And he got away with it as
long as America was a debtor nation, ‘during 'which
period foreign countries stood willing to accept our ex
ports—and credit our account, irrespective of whether
we imported their products or not.
But when the situation was reversed, Uncle Sam be
coming a creditor nation, and erecting a tariff barrier
that made it impossible for foreign governments to send
us their goods, the shoe began to pinch.
When foreign countries retaliate by excluding our
raw products—cotton, wheat, corn, lard, ‘et cetera—
thus impoverighing our agricultural classes, what be
comes of the market for the products of our factories?
It vanishes. Foreign countries won’t have them, and
11 million American farmers can’t buy them because the
tariff has rendered sale of farm commodities abroad
next to impossible. The purchasing power of town and
city residents—mere dollar-swappers—is reduced be
cause the farmer has no money to spend with them; so
the only alternative is for factories to suspend or curtail
operations, thus swelling the ranks of the unemployed—
the very thing the Republicar high-tariff advocates
contended the Hawley-Smoot law would eliminate. But
it doesn’t work that way.
In Secretary Wallace’s ‘“America Must Choose” pam
phlet, he mentioned, as one alternative to retiring fifty
million acres of land, the admission annually of one bil
dollars’ worth of foreign goods more than was admitted
during a previous peak year, the thought of which
brought cold sweat to the brow of many Republican in
dustrialists who visualized the country flooded with
cheap foreign goods with which they would have to
compete in price.
These gentlemen seem to have forgotten the haleyon
days of 1926 when the United States imported goods to
the fabulous sum of $4,430,000,000, an increase of sl,-
300,000 as compared with the imports of four years
previously. What happened? During the period from
1922 to 1926, employment was increased two and a half
million; earnings of the average wage earner increased
more than S2OO a year, and the total wealth of the
United States was increased by nineteen billion dollars.
Why? Simply because, by accepting imports on a
gigantic scale, we were enabled to export on a corres
ponding basis, enriching the agrarian classes, who in
turn hought the products of mills and factories, thus
providing satisfactory wages for factory workers and
dividends for the industrial stockholders. It is quite fun
demental that if we expect to export, we must also be
prepared to import. -
Republican opposition to a low tariff is traditional;
we should hardly expect their support of the President’s
proposal. But we have a Democratic. congress, and if we
can’t look to a Democratic adminigtration for tariff
reforms, which is Simon-pure . Democratic doctrine,
where else can we turn? Senate Democrats caucused
over the situation Monday night, and so eager is the
President that this legislation be enacted at *this session,
that Senator Robinson was emphatic in his statement
that solidified party action is essential.
The Southern cotton farmer feels that the drastic re
duction in acreage is his only saivation this year, but
nothing would suit him better than to be told next year
to produce all the cotton of which his land is capable;
that foreign countries constituted a ready market at a
profitable price. Such an eventuality is possible only
through the new tariff measure, as advocated by Mr.
Roosevelt, and on its fate depends the success or failure
of the entire recovery effort,
