Washington Letter.
(By J. .T. Mansfield)
The Washington Post of April
8th contained the following:
“Exemption of the profits of
American concerns doing busi-
ness in foreign countries from
the American excess profits and
income tax laws was advocated
yesterday by Secretary Hoover.
Complaints have been received
from Various American concerns
in all parts of the world, Mr.
Hoover said, that they were forc-
ed to compete with foreign hous-
es who paid only local taxes,
while American concerns paid
exce^profits and income taxes
at home, in addition to the dues
in the foreign countries.
Representatives of the Federat-
ed Chamber of Commerce of
Mexico, which includes the
American Chamber there, Mr.
Lovelo and Mr. Newman, called
on Mr. Hoover yesterday and
urged the removal of this handi-
cap to American trade in Mexico.
They informed him, he said,
that shipments from Hamburg
and Liverpool were made at $9
and $10 a ton which cost $20 a
ton from North Atlantic ports. In
connection with competition
American goods are meeting in
foreign markets, Mr. Hoover de-
clared that German opposition
was growing rapidly, particularly
in such lines as fine tools, by
means of government aid.”
This is indeed a most Iremark*
able statement. For fifty years
we have been told by the manu-
facturers of this country that
they could not compete even in
our home markets with foreign
made goods, for the reason of the
great difference in the cost of
labor in this and other countries.
Now it seems that if we will only
relieve them of taxation here at
home they can successfully com-
pete with the foreign manufac-
turers in foreign countries, after
paying double the freight rates
the foreigners have to pay. The
statement of Mr. Hoover, who is
a Republican Cabinet Officer, is
entirely inconsistent with the
contentions heretofore made by
that political party. Both con-
tentions cannot possibly be true.
Either one-or the other is errone-
ous. I have no reason to doubt
the veracity or the judge-
mi nt of Mr. Hoover.
It will be observed that the
An. erican manufacturers are ask-
ing to be relieved from excess
profits and income taxes. They
do not ask a reduction in freight
rates. They own the steamships
and the railroads that receive
those rates. All they ask is, first
free raw materials at the expense
of the home producers; second,
a tariff wall to prevent foreign
competition in the home markets;
third, a reduction in the wage
scale in American labor; fourth,
exemption from taxation at home
in order that they may the more
successfully compete with for-
eigners in foreign markets. Speak
of 'the earth and the fullness
thereof. The modesty of the de-
mands of our “Infant Industries”
is in keeping with the tenderness
of their age.

1 he Red Cross Controversy.
Editor New Era:
I see that Mr. Guettler wants
to muddy the waters while he
gets away from the situation
which he created when he assail-
ed the Red Cross in his first
article. But he will not suc-
ceed- I charged that a deep
seated prejudice was at the
bottom of his tirade and I do not
propose to let up on him on that
issue. I went into the public
prints to denounce him. and his
followers and to warn the unsus-
pecting against his kind of war-
fare and I shall never concede
that the Red Cross, “The Great
Mother of Us All,” needs any de-
fense at my hands. Thank God,
she needs none! It would be
just as useful to defend, before
heathct the atonement of the
SoiTof Man. And the audacity
of this man Guettler to demand a
showing a showing of our books
to one, who admits that he has
quit us trbough lack of confi-
dence. Of course the Red Cross
books are always open, but I
leave to the good men and
women of this country who are
in charge of its books and funds,
consideration of Mr. Guettler’s
charge that there are some “dis-
agreeable, unproven reports as
to the management of the Red
Cross even in Lavaca county.”
Personally speaking, I have not
been here long enough to sub-
scribe but to one Roll Call and
of course I have never received a
dollar from our chapter for any
service, but we do not care for
Mr. Guettler’s reasons as to why
he nas quit the Red Cross. We
know why. He still smarts
under the defeat administered to
Germany and his mind now finds
its only solace in trying to make
us feel dissatisfied with every-
thing we did during the war and,
which had its inspiration during
the war, and he would delight in
seeing society in a state of dis-
cord and distrust by trying to
make us lose confidence in each
other, make us feel that we
feel that we American people
could not even carry on humani-
tarian work in an honest,straight
way and that we could betray
even the sacred trust of the Red
Cross purposes, and of ftmds
raised for drouth sufferers, in
order to serve selfish ends.
Don’t you see the danger of this
undermining propaganda, Not
a one of them is going to get by
with it, so help me God, as long
as I live ‘in the county where I
first saw the light of day and
where my people lived before
me. On with the fight and “d—d
be he, who first cries, hold
enough.”

by Mr. Ellis reply. Mr. Guett-
ler must haye gone well beyond
his depth and is now floundering
in the hottest kind of hot water.
When he attacks the Red Cross
he puts himself as it were be-
yond the pale and deserves the
condemnation of all loyal Ameri-
cans and also Germans.
