Two steps this country can initiate
Insofar as our tariff structure denies the English manufacturer a fair competitive opportunity in this country, it should be re-examined.

Since much of the mischief in the narrower sterling problem arises from artificially imputed values for currencies and gold, it might be well to expose the dollar, the pound, the franc, together with gold—the only valid common denominator in which their relative values can be expressed—to the fresh breath of free markets.
