DEBTS, ARMS AND TARIFFS
CLOSELY LINKED “To most Americans of a liberal mind, debts and disarmament are, closely. linked. and Mr Roosevelt, however willing, will find it extraordinarily difficult to convince his supporters of the need for European relief unless the Disarmament Conference is a real and demonstrable success.” says Professor Harold Laski, in the “Labour Magazine.” “No doubt Mr Roosevelt will be able to offer some relief to international trade by a lower tariff; the follies of the Hawley-Smoot era are not likely to be repeated. But, again, we must not expect too much. The differences on the tariff between American parties are of degrees and not in kind. We can see the folly of a high tariff wall around America; but outside the ranks of economists and international bankers there is no strong American feeling for a generous policy of freed imports.”
