AMERICA AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE
I\/IK. CORDELL HI LL’S advocacy of greater freedom in trade relations adds to the swelling chorus which is rising insistently against tariffs, quotas and other restrictive measures. It is becoming increasingly apparent to a large number of people that the international trade situation is the cause of the continuance of lhe present depressed conditions. The. remarkable lad is that it is the Secretary of State for Agriculture of America who is proclaiming against that doctrine of which America has been the foremost exponent since the days oi: List, Alexander Hamilton, and later Abraham Lincoln. America’s isolation is done, said Calvin Coolidge, ami with that admission a change in economic policy towards the rest oi. lhe world was called tor. Unfortunately, the time lag between needs and political action is notoriously long in America. Too much, therefore, should not be expected at. any early date from this recent development of public opinion in America.
