Sinopsis

Excerpt from Problems of Reconstruction

Another illustration may be taken from our tariff history. After our experience with protec tive tariffs from 1816 to 1833, the trend from the latter date, with the exception of the act of 1842, was towards a lower level of duties. The Civil War legislation changed this course of our history. Higher and higher rates were imposed to protect domestic industries burdened with heavy internal taxes until, in 1865, we had reached a high general level of duties. The war acts were emergency measures. But again, new industrial conditions were created, vested interests appeared, with the result that revision of the tariff proved a most dif ficult matter. Indeed, after several decades, a high tariff came to be regarded as the established policy of the country.

Excerpt from Problems of Reconstruction

From an industrial point of view the nations at war are confronted with two groups of problems. Stated briefly, the first group contains questions of concentrating industrial effort largely on war production, of diverting men, materials, and financial resources to the essential industries and of curtailing the operations of all the rest, of regulating commerce with foreign countries, and of formulating policies and methods for the accomplishment of these ends. In short, this is principally a question of development of war control with all this implies. The second group of problems arises out of the first. It involves such questions as the dissolution of the war organization, the removal of the machinery of control, the restoration of men, funds, and materials to the industries which serve the uses of peace, and the reestablishment of normal commercial relations with the outside world. The latter are post-war problems.
