STATE AND IMPORTING
My previous letters on the above subject were written with the intention of assisting the people in their deliberations on the question of State interference in business. To my surprise several persons have asked me in what sense are those letters relevant to that question. Let me now answer same.. I pointed out that Nation J had, besides giving work to her people to the value of £5,000,000, gained the sum of £2,000,000; also that J's gains had been losses to Nation N. Therefore, I ask if it would be wrongful interference in business if the Government of Nation N informed the importers of that nation that they would not again be permitted to import cotton wearing apparel from Nation J, but could import cotton from Nation I so that employment could be given to her own people in manufacturing .it into wearing apparel, even if it /yvere necessary for the Government to subsidise the industry. Thus Nation N would find employment for her people and sava £2,000.000 with which to purchase the raw material to build a battleship for themselves if desired. Wm. F. JAMIESON.
