TOM LINDER & WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1947 NUMBER 17 ; a se eS s e rt Gi isi AYEMENT OF TOM. LINDER, ' GEORGIA COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE BEFORE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE OF _ ' HOUSE ON _ RECIPROCAL TRADE AGREE- : MENTS MAY 2, 1945 Oo lement of the Committee: The most vital test of this Recipro- ea Trade Agreements Act is whether it will get us into war or keep us out of /am convinced that the re-enactment of the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Law 1937 was directly responsible for our involvement in this war with Japan. ' Let us see what incontrovertible evi- dence we haveethat our present war with J apan was caused by the Recipro- al Trade Agreements Act of 1937. _ PEACE AND WAR ~ On January 2, 1943, the Secretary. of State released a booklet or White Paper, which was entitled PRACE AND WAR. ~PHACE AND WAR is a resume of the United States Foreign Policy dur- ae the decade 1931 to 1941. On page 1, in the 8rd paragraph, be- ginning in the 2nd line, we read: TN 1937 JAPAN AGAIN ATTACK- ED CHINA. The records show that after the en- aetment of the Reciprocal Trade Agree- ments Act in 1937, and after Japan at- tacked China the second time our ship- ments of iron and steel to Japan in- reased 1,000 percent. It is evident that we would not have increased shipments of iron and steel 1,000 percent at that particular time un- less we had been fored to do so: In three years we shipped enough iron and steel to Japan to build a fleet of war ships and to equip an army. _ On page 34 of PEACE AND WAR, the erd paragraph reads as follows: In line with the policy enunciat- __ed by the President of restricting __ the export to belligerents of abnor- _ mal quantities of war materials, _ which had been urged by the Gov- _ ernment since the beginning of the #5: war between Italy and Ethiopia, a! neutrality bill containing such _& provision was introduced in Con- ress in. January, 1936. Secretary State Hull, in supporting this. posal | before the Senate Com- | ra oy fe WAR mittee on Foreign Relations, em- phasized that a neutral should not deliberately help to feed the fires and flames of war by delivering essential materials to belligerents, thus helping not only to carry on war but to prolong-it indefinitely. This proposal was not adopted by Congress. In January, 1936, the Administration realized that we were responsible for encouraging and abetting the war. Yet after this our exports of iron and steel to Japan increased 1,000 percent. Why? It is evident that not only the President but the Administration in general, real- ized that all of the iron and steel we shipped to Japan would be used in a war of aggression. Why then did we not stop these ship- ments of iron and steel? Instead of stopping these shipments of iron and steel in 1936, one year later in 1937 we re-enacted the Reciprocal Trade Argeements Law and increased shipments of iron and steel to Japan 1,000 percent. On page 44 of PEACE AND WAR, in the ae two lines of the Ist pe we rea On July 7, 1937 a clash occurred between Chinese and Japanese e Treaties troops near Peiping in North China. Immediately after this clash between Chinese and Japanese troops we increas- ed our shipment of iron and steel to Japan 1,000 percent. How can you explain this tremendous inerease in shipments in iron and steel to Japan in the face of Japans-unjusti- fiable attack on China, unless there was a compelling reason why this Adminis- tration was forced to concede to Japans demands for this iron and steel: On page 47 of PEACE AND WAR, the next to the last paragraph reads as follows: A year later, in a conversation with the Canadian Minister, Secre- tary Hull said that since August, 1937, he had proceeded on the the- ory that Japan definitely contem- plates securing domination over as many hundreds of millions of peo- ple as possible in Eastern Asia and gradually extending her control through the Pacific islands to the Dutch East Indies and elsewhere, thereby dominaiing in practical ef- fect that one-half of the world. In other words; the Secretary of State said that he had proceeded on the theory that Japan definitely contemplated a war of aggression. And yet, through (Continued on Page Six) WHAT Editorial - By TOM LINDER Under date of December 27, 1946, the Richmond Times Dispatch, published at Richmond, Virginia, carried an edito- rial entitled: THIRTEEN AGAINST THE GODS This editorial is an attempt to intim- idate the officials of thirteen Southern States. It is.an attempt to force the people of the South to cringe before the onslaught of the internationalists. To give you an idea of the ignorance of the man who wrote that editorial, [ quote the following paragraph: This sounds exactly as though it had been written by the Pennsylvania Manufacturers Association, the. San- hedrin of all the high tariff barons in the Republican: party, UNCLE JO G DS? GRUNDY. was long the spokesman for this group of industrialists whose ideas on economics seem almost to begin and end with such enacenents as the HAWLEY-SMOOT tariff one of the major causes of the world-wide depress- ion of the early 1930s, and the Second World War. Now what ignorance? Fiverybody, knows that the great panic was usher- ed in by the stock market crash of Oc- tober 1929, The Smoot-Hawley tariff measure bes came law on June 17, 1980. The New, York Stoek Exchange erash came eight months before in October 1929. And yet, this ignoramus, this agent of the Internationalists, writing in the Richmond Times Dispatch has the au- | dacity to say that an Act passed in June (Continued On Page Two), PAGE TWO. rer (Contauad irae Page One) | 1930, caused the stock market craae 1a October 1929. The Richmond Times Dispatch says: othe argument of the Commissioner s is that if PRESIDENT cbt ap- proves the reciprocal. trade agreements now pending with 18 foreign countries, the purchasing power of Southern farm- ers will go roaring downward. They | ecntend that Southern producers. eet THE FOUR MAIN INDUSTRIAL.

McMichen, supply unlimited amounts of iron aud) _ steel to Japan after and in the face of: this unwarranted attack upon an Ameri- Pan (Continued from Page One) those very years when the Secretary f - State contemplated a war of aggression by &apan, we stepped up our shipments of yon and steel to Japan 1,000 percent. Is it reasonable to suppose that we would have done this unless Japan held a club over our heads? On page 49 of PEACH AND WAR in the 2nd paragraph we read as follows: On October 6, 1937, the Assem- bly of the League of Natins adopt- ed a report stating that the Japan- ese action in China was a violation of Japans treaty obligations. On the same day the Department of | State issued a statement that the action of Japan in China was in- consistest with the principles which should govern the relations between. nations and was contrary to the Nine-Power treaty of Feb- ruary 6, 1922, regarding the prin- ciples and policies to be followed in matters concerning China, and contrary to the Kellogg-Briand Pact. : On page 51 of PEACE AND WAR, the. 1st paragraph is as follows: _ PANAY INCIDENT On December 12, 1937, the Gov- ernment and pnts of the United States were deeply shocked by the news of the bombing and. destruc- tion by Japanese aircraft of the United States Gunboat Panay and three United States merchant vessels on the Yangtze River in China. The bombing and -machine- gunning of the crews and passen- gers resulted in loss of life to cit- izens of the United States. This government immediately sent a note to the Japanese Goyernment stating that the United States ves- sels involved were on the Yangtze River by uncontested and incon- testible rights, that they were fly- ing the American flag, and that they were engaged in legitimate and appropriate business. The Government of the United States requested and expected of the Japanese Government a formal- ly recorded expression of regret, an undertaking to make complete _and comprehensive indemnifica- tions; and an assurance that defi- nite and specific steps have been taken which will insure that here- after American Nationals, inter- ests and property in China will not _ _ be subjected to attack by Japanese armed forces or unlawful interfer-_ - ence by any Japanese authorities gos or forces. This attack on the PANAY occurred on December 12, 1937 and yet for several . years after that time we continued to. ship Japan iron and steel at a rate of 1,000 percent. of normal shipments prior to the enactment of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Law of 1937. Would you have believed any Admin- istration in the United States could have been so deluded as to continue to ean vessel? You know that. no wanenueaton in| the history of this country would have | _? peratitted. these shipments to go on un- and Trade Treati hindered unless Ji apan either bluffed or had us in a corner. On page 113 of PEACE AND WAR, the Ist paragraph reads as follows: Secretary Hull discussed Jap- ans actions. in the Far East, on the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives on the Lend-Lease Bill. The: Secretary recounted the various steps in Jap- ans program of expansion, includ- ing the conquest of Manchuria, the. denunciation of the Naval Treaty of 1922, the intensified construc- tion of Military and Naval arma- ments, and the Large-Scale mili- tary. operations: against China which had begun. in July, 1937. He said it was clear that Japan has been actuated from the start by broad and ambitious plans for establishing herself in a dominant position in the entire region of the Western Pacific; that Japans leaders had enedly declared their intention to achieve and maintain - that position by force of arms and thus to make themselves masters of an area containing almost | one- half of the entire populates of the world. had us Let us see what was the reason that United States. permitted. an increase of 3 1,000 percent, in shipments of iron and steel to Japan during the very years that the Secretary of. State says he knew. that Japan was preparing for war of aggression to bring all that portion of the world under Japanese domination. |. . Turn to pag 87 of PEACE AND WAR e and read the last paragraph: 2 As euideuee: cumulated of the endangering of American lives, the destruction of American property, and the violation of American rights. and. interests by Japanese i authorities or Japanese-sponsored agents, in China, and after diplo- matic representations had failed to effect a substantial alleviation of the: situation, further consider-- ation was given to the possibility of commercial retaliation against Japan, It was felt that the 1911 commercial treaty. between the United States and Japan was not affording adequate protection to. American commerce either.in Jap-. an or in Japanese-occupied. por- tions of China, while at the same time the operations of the most-- favored-nation clause of the treaty -was.a bar:to the adoption of retal. latory measures against Japanese commerce. _ Consequently, i in. July, 1939, this government gave notice of termination of that treaty-at the end of the six-month period pre- scribed by the treaty. That termi- nation removed the legal obstacle to an embargo by the United States upon the shipment of materials: to Japan. os Tt is. evident from the. shove para-- graph of PEACE AND WAR that the tyeaty between the United States and wi e Japan of 1911-was the elub which J. a held over our heads. There was nothing, however, in the treaty of 1911 which committed us. to. increase shipments of iron and steel ta.

As the gold reserve is reduced and as the bonded debt of the Governmnt in- creases, our circulating medium is based | not on.an asset, but on a liability. As the war comes to an end, as Gov- ernment spending : recedes as it must, re- gardless of the wishes of Congress, the Administration or anyone else, it will be: imperative to issue national circulat- ing medium in lieu of billions of dollars of outstanding bonds as well as to carry on necessary Government expenditures. Tn view of the above stated facts, it does not require a seer or a Solomon to see that this Nation is now on the brink of the wildest money inflation imagi- nable. If through our Pie to avert this danger the country is plunged into in- flation, we will have broken faith with every bond holder in the United States. What is worse we will haye broken faith with every man who served. in the Armed Forces in this great conflict, but broken faith with those who died to preserve this country from destruction. Unless the Congress and the Chief Executive take immediate cognizance of this: situation, and. unless: immediate ac- tion is imiatcd to. meet this dire threat, then it will not for long matter what you do with regard to. this so-called Recipro- eal Trade Ageenients Bill. The signs of this condition into which we are now enterting can be seen on every hand. There are a great many people who fear inflaton, but many of - these people have the illogical idea that they, as individuals, can escape "he evil influence of inflation if they have their assets in cash. Many people do not real- - ize that cash is the very thing that is most affected by inflation. As a result of this fear of inflation, it is a. matter. of common knowledge among peopl who are in position to know, that. hun- dreds of millions of dollars in cash is being tucked away in lock boxes and in secret hiding places. There are, of course, many persons who i imagine that we can carry a 300 or 400 billion dollar debt indefinitely. with the payment of a normal price. If such were the case, then indeed the world would be an Utopia. If it were possible fora man or Nation _ tc spend all they have and then continue te enjoy it by the payment of a nominal fee we would have found out actually how to have our cake and eat it too: This debt cannot be carried indefinite- _ ly for the reason that outstanding bonds are short term bonds generally. It cannot be carried indefinitely for the reason that outstanding bonds are not in the hands of private parties. Out- standing bonds are largely held by the banks of the country. These bonds in the hands of banks have largely replaced. the monies belong- ing to the depositors in those banks. These banks have Simply substituted Government bonds for their poe i tia gy 1 tho. Ginpene _ eonditions which face us today. ment guarantees ever dollar of these de- positors money. When these depositors eal] on the banks for their money the- Government must see that the deposi- tors get their money instead of bonds: - The only possible way: the Government ~ ean pay these depositors off is by print- | ing some more money and substituting this inflated money in the banks in place of the Government bonds which the banks now hold. It should be obvious to any thinking person that this creates a situation which is dangerous in the extreme It should be clear that our entire national monetary and economic system i is rid- ing on a wing and a prayer. This special trade treaty is just a sube terfuge and a camouflage for free trade is the match that will set off this BOE der keg. For this nation, at this time, to enter into a program of low prices is just a -form of national economic hari-kari. WHAT IS THE REMEDY? There is but one course of action to my mind that would be prudent under TLis course of action has been set out in the ~program. presented to you by The Nat- onal Association of Commissioners, Secretaries and Directors of Agrical- ture, which is fully concurred in by tite Association, Southern Commissioners of _ Agriculture; that course of action is nc- essary and imperative if we are to keep the Old Ship of State on an even keel and ride. ou the storm-which is before us. That course of action is not only in- consistent with reduced tariffs and free _ trade, but it is impossible of attainment | under anything approaching free trade conditions, The only prudent course that we can follow is to maintain high prices in every line. High wages, high salaries, high- priced commodities, high raw products and high everything. We must maintain the national in- come as high in peace times, without | Government spending as it has been in war time, with unprecedented Govern- ment spending. If we maintain a nat- ional income of 150 billion dollars out-_ side of Government spending and then collect Federal taxes amounting to oue- third of this national income we would have a national revenv> of 50 billion dollars per year- If we assume that the total cost of Government operation, racluding pro- visions for our veterans and all, other purposes, will amount to 25 billion dol- lars per year,. then we wold have only 25 billion dollars left with which to pay the interest and principal on the nation- al debt. Remember it must cost many billions per year to maintain our Armies in Europe and Asia. Remember this must be continued for a long number of years. a If we assume it would he possible to finance the national debt, including ne _ terest, for 5 billion dollars. per year this (Continued on Page Hight) PAGE SEVEN (Continued from Page Seven) would leave only the amount of 20 bill- ion dollars per year to apply on the principal. {f we assume that the National debt will be 400 billion dollars by the tim Japan is defeated and our armies dis- banded, it does not take a mathmetician to figure out that it will be twenty years, with the people paying one-third of their income as federal taxes, to pay this war debt. And this is onthe as- sumption that the National-income will be 150 billion dollars. ~ Remember also that the taxpayers, after paying one-third their income to. the Federal Government, must still sup- port their State, County and Mancipel Governments: After this war debt is paid Of: in) twenty years, with the people paying one-third of their income to the Feder- al Government, all of us who are now middle age and over will be passed on to the Great Beyond before this country, ean be freed once more. Remember too that the 25 billion dol- lar principal allowed for Government spending will not begin to suffice if we are to maintain large standing Armies in Europe and Asia during the coming years. That alone will cost 25 billion dol- _ jars.to say nothing of ones avtonal ex- penditures, Tf, on the other hand, we penn prices _ te fall, the wage scale to go down, sala- ries to 20 down, commodities and farm prices to go down, and economic assis- _ tance to an army of unemployed, then our national income instead of being 150 billion dollars will be 75 billion or possibly only 50 billion. Tf our national income should fall to oU billion dollars it would be necessary to tax the American people one hundred percent of their income simply to carry on, If this so-called Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act were entitled: A bill to provide for a tax on the American working people to the extent of one-half of their in- come to pay for free American goods to other countries, not a man on this Committee would vote for a m@asure that carried such a title. If this Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act were entitled: An Act to provide that every holder of an American. obligation shall receive the amount he now | holds of American obligations but shall be paid with inflated money, not a member of this Committee of Con- -gress would cast a vote in its favor. If this Reciprocal Trade Agreements Bill were entitled: A bill to require all the work- ing people in America to labor one- half of all their time for the next hundred years without compensa- tion, not a member of this Committee of Con- -. gress would cast a vote for it. _ Not a man in the House or Senate would vote for a bill carrying either of the above captions, and yet, the effect on the American people would be the | % buy for T same in bills carrying such captions as it will be, in the long run, if we persist in following the phantom of world free |= trade. In all of the testimony heard by your Committee the most vital effect of this entirely kind of legislation has been ~ overlooked in so far as I know. - The most vital effect of legislation of this character is to take away from the American working people, in in- dustry and on the farm, the pay to which _ they are entitled for their sweat and toil. Whether or not a few Sntereanonal traders in the United States and for-_ eign countries are able to make money out of these international treaties is en- tirely beside the point. Whether or not a few exporters and ; importers of Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Mexico and other nations will have a monetary interest in preserving peace with the United Biates is entirely be- side the point. A peace that: mat be purchased at the price of slavery of the American working people is bondage. The Pharaohs of Egypt and the Chil- dren of Israel lived without open war for 400 years, but the Israelites enjoyed this peace at the price of slavery to the Heyptians. Undoubtedly each and every member of this Committee, and each and every member of the Senate and House, must know that free trade means low prices. That it means low prices in eee as well as on the farm. | Many leaders of labor, capital and polities in the industrial sections of the - Nation seem to have an idea that they - can have low farm prices by free trade through the Reciprocal Tariff route and still maintain high prices in industry and business. : This'is simply wishful thinking. BG cannot be done because of natural laws over which the Congress and Executive have no power. You SEVEN TO ONE RATIO Tn a complete economy, with its com- plexities of production, transportation, _ processing and distribution, when you fix the price of the raw materials ag- ricultural, mining, forests, etc., you au- tomatically fix the national income. If the farmers of the Nation receive 20 billion dollars in peace times, the- national income. will be 140 billion dol- lars. If your farmers and miners to- gether receive 28 billion dollars your national ineome will be 140 billion dol- lars. Seven times the farm income is ite national income. Five times the farm income. and mine income is your nat- ional income. This is not a theory. It is a business principle which works. It is not a theory by an academic economist whose theo- ries do not have to pan out. It is a fix- ed practice some of the largest business institutions in America use who h other countries nae bu for 10 billion dollars, y other hand, he pays $1 fie farmers income. _ Tf the nation buys th _ billion dollars on it prices and prices in treaties is inconsistent cannot repeal ae _ them nor amend them. oe -|. with foreion. countries" / value thereof.
