TO DEFEAT HATE
WHAT AMERICA NEEDS.
“The only way the United States of . America can . defeat ( the hatred of European nations toward us is to maintain the strongest - fleet, army and air force in tho world,” said James W. Gerard, former American Ambassador to Germany, speaking on “World Conditions’’ before 150 members of the American Art Association. “Europe is boiling,” he said, ihey feel that wc arc economically rich, they are kept out of this country, and’ can’t sell their goods here, hence they hate us, as was' evidenced in the proposal of the League of Nations Council at Geneva that the League have . power to act against commercial supremacy, a direct slap at the United States. “Germany took /advantage of her fall in currcncy ( to put all her largo industrial ' plants in order, and is now ready ' for producing goods on a torgo-scalo capacity, greater than any other nation. A high tariff is tho only protection the United States has as an offset, for if it is lowered the high-waged ’ American worker will meet tho direct competition of the low-waged Gorman. . .
“As a Democrat, I think it is impossible to change the present tariff.” .
