BUNK MESSAGE BY I -SENATOR HARDING Republican Candidate Seeks To Side-Track League With Tariff Talk sj The News and Observer Bureau. 603 District National Bans Bid. I . (By Special Leased Wire.) Washington, Sept 18 Senator Hard ing; , is invading the South with th bunk message of a' high tariff. What haa possessed the Bepubliean candidate to revive this ghost laid by the wart In the Commerce - and ' Treasury de partments the view is that the candi date is trying to sidetrack the League of Nations when he knows it is strong to catch a certain elass of. Democrats who hav mad big money in textile and -other industries in the South. He Is ' after th mill men and their em ployees. He is also going after the business man who is paying taxes on excess profits and the man who is pay ing an ineom tax on a comparatively small salary. '- Congressman Slemp's 1 Southern Re publican committee her is flooding these circles in the South with the promise that if . Harding is. sleeted President he will call an extra session of Congress on , March 4 to repeal the excess profit tax, abolish ths tax on freight and passenger traffic on , the railroads and modify the income tax rates. While Slemp's machine is offer ing these gold brick promises to cateh iotas snd they fire alluring to some peo ple Harding comes along with a high tariff galvanised into life to furnish th government with the money that the repeal of these taxes would de prive it of. No Argument For Tariff. ' Assistant Secretary of Commerce Ed ward T. Sweet, en being asked for his views on Harding's revival of the high tariff issue, says thst if there was ever any good reason for a high tariff in this country, it does not exist today. Within the last six years every argu ment for a protective tariff baa been awept away. The subject is or ought to be as dead as African slavery or the Boston tea tax. V Within ths last six years, said Mr. Sweet, this country has psssed from a debtor nation to a creditor nation. Mack of what it used to bny from Europe it is now selling to Europe. Its foreign market has become one of the chief sources of its commercial life. Europe today owes America $12,000, 000,000. There is not enough gold in the world to pay this. , There is only one way Europe can pay, with safety to herself and to her great creditor and that is by selling us goods. But Senator Harding would rather America lost this money than have Europe dump cheap goods -on us and bring down the wages and high stand ard of living of our labor. If we put our tariff up under present conditions and repeal the taxes that the Bepub lieans ar promising certain sections of business, they will repeal if elected, th government will go Bankrupt for money t defray its expenses. We shall loe our foreign trade now grown to Immense proportions and our labor will starve. A tariff does not protect unless it xeludes and when it ex cludes it does not prod ties revenue. Must Lessen Bisk of War. Th eustom revenue, said Mr. Sweet, but year amounted to a quarter billion dollars, out of a total revenue of six billion or less than 4 per cent of the total. New York Stat paid more taxed for the support of th government hut year than the entire customs revenue. That Bute paid a half billion in in eom and other taxes. - North. Carolina paid $189,000,000 into the treasury or a good deal over half of th entire cus toms revenue.. 1 - ;. ;. '-. There is now only on way empha sised Mr. Sweetly which the expenses of the United States government can, b safely, reduced, and that is by les sening the risk of war. Our great bur den of taxation will grow every year with the present risk of war. And tL way to reduce this risk of war is through a universal League of Nations. If .e r:maia outside of the league, as Mr. Harding seems to want as to do, thors will be so snd to th growth and expense Of army and 'navy. For the last, four years the expenses of the army and navy, shipping, pensions, de ficits by railroads and other items caused by war took 03 per cent of the government's income. . - ' Today, said Mr. Bwwet, our trade balance with Europe is in our favor. We are hancM spped to a certain extent by Europe's low exchange J ite, but that will improve. W will find- no good reason to raise a prohibitive tsriff wall against Europs as she gets' on her feet.
