Under these circumstances it would appear even to a casual observer that the professors from their cloistered halls were poor pilots to guide the ship of state. and their eager willingness to sacrifice American wages and American standards of living so that their own fixed income might be augmented shows them as poor patriots. Every man or woman with whom the average citizen brushes elbows is engaged in some kind of work that Is immediately dependent upon the maintenance of general prosperity. Following the World War and the readjustments of 1920. our immigration restriction laws prevented hundreds of thousands of lowwage earners from other countries invading the American markets. The tariff passed in 1922 has proved a barrier to the excessive introduction of merchandise from foreign llrnds made by lowwage operators and under other low standards of operations which would have closed our factories. The very people whom the professors think should be lined up with them in opposing the HawleySmoot tariff are in fact direct tariff beneficiaries.
