Chairman Fordney of the House ways and means committee, in his rst formal statement today on the permanent tariff bill, said he did not “herald it as a panacea for all national difficulties,” but predicted that its effect upon American indus- try and American labor would be entirely beneficial. Discussing the_American valuation provision, Mr. Fordney said it had been contended that was one to secure some sort of o aled protection,” a cloak under which import duties would be materially increased.” Declared Erroneous Imgression. “Examination of the ‘bill, however.” he added, “will correct this erroneous impression. The committee has taken full cognizance of the fact that it is proposing _higher values general and has reduced the rates- accordirfgly Comparison of the rates with the Payne-Aldrich bill, Mr. Fordney de- clared, “will indicate & reduction in rate ’ “Where there is a very great dis- parity of production costs between a particular foreign country and Amer- ica,"=the statement said. “the assess- ing of ad valorem duties on American values will tend toward higher duties. Where foreign costs, however, are more nearly equal to American costs, the change to the American basis will have a tendency to reduce duties. Protection in Higher Duties. “This, however, is desirable, for, in the first instance, higher duties are essential to protect American indus- tries, and in the second instance, high duties are not required to afford pro- tection. “The American valuation system will have a desirable equalizing ef- fect on.import duties and seems en- tirely in harmony with the effort of the committee to establish rates which will offset production costs here and abroad.” HOUSE VIEWS CONFLICT. Proposed Tax Burden Is Seen by Leaders. Sharply conflicting views as to the tax burden to be imposed on the American people by the administra- tion's tariff bill were expressed by republiean and democratic leaders of the House. Counting the, free list, the average duty rate was %estimated by Chairman Fordney of the ways and means com- mittee at between 18 and 20 pér cent. compared with the 18.55 Payne-Al- drich avera, and 6 per cent under the present l{_nderwood measure. Mr. Fordney insisted, however, that the average, after an accurate estimate. would range lower than Payne-Al- drich schedules. Taking issue with the chairman. ‘| Representative Garner, Texas, rank- ing democrat on the committee, de- clared - the rates, considering the American valuation provisions, were higher than those in anv tarift bill passed by Congreds since the civil war. Quoting statements of repub- licans that the bill, if passed as writ- ten, would-bring_in about $700.000,000 annually, Mr. Garner charged this meant an additional cost of at least $2,000.000,000, and “that the larger portion of this burden would fall upon the actual necessities of life." Mr. Fordney had announced that he would issue a statement showing in detail same of the essential prowi- sions of the bill and clearing up many points of difference, but a rush of work, he later said, made it impos- sible. = Big_Bill Bewilders. - In the absence of the expected statement from Chairman Fordney. members genefally found the 346-page bill almost. bewildering. There was resentment against some of the sched- ules by republicans, but. broadly speaking, members stood on the bill according to part§ affiliations. There was_a howl from some democrats ove rthe free list, which, they insisted, had been too sharply reduced. Before going into the preliminary republican caucus last night many representatives said it would take two or three sessions to adjust all {iffersgces. ~Mr. Fordney's plan to have bill reported Saturday, after a meeting of the ‘full committee, was “the proposal | NG STAR, WASHINGTON, .

The American veluation provision was a stumbling block in the way of enlightenment, especially as the bill was thrown into the -‘House hopper without explanation.

It seemed to be agreed that the American valuation section would af- fect between 50 and 60 per cent of all imports, which have no standard value. In fixing the duty upon a chair, for example, ‘the committee i wrote into the bill a provision that it should be assessed upon the value in the -American market of a com- parable and competitive article. In a word, a chair shipped here from Germany and costing $2 there, would be assessed at the port of entry at $5. it the latter figure were juodged to ze the fair price in this country. Under existing law the duty is based ! upon the foreign value. Because of this provision -it was | difficult for members generally to do their own figuring or to _make ac- curate comparisons with Payne-Ald- rich rates.

Encouraged by phe rapid adjustments taking place in the business world as a whole, a note of optimism was sounded at the twenty-first annualj convention of the Tobacco Association of the United States, now in session at the Hotel Powhatan, when T. M. | Carrington of Richmond, Va. presi-| dent of the organization, in his annual the tobacco growers of the country. In summing up the #ituation in the tobacco world, Mr. Carrington stressed | the fact that the 1920 crop was the laygest ever produced, and that while | there is more tobacco on hand now than ever before, this surplus can soon be absorbed by a reduction in this year's production. Factors in Situation. ! The unrest of goyernments, the! chaotic conditions of exchange, labor difficulties, and the ugsettled condi- tions of the railroads were all re- sponsible in part for the slump the i tobacco world has suffered in the past year, according to President Carrington's report. In referring to the frequent talk in some quarters of .pooling tobacco, which it is claimed would develop into co-opertive selling, Mr. Carring- ton said that no plan had vet been| devised that is satisfactory to all con- cerned. Hew pointed out that the farmer had not gotten proper consid- eration, “and he must not be too much blamed for experimenting on what is presented to him in a most attractive yay as a panaceg for his e e sai. Routine Business. The meeting opened with the read- ing of the secretary's report by G. E. Webb of Winston-Salem, N. C., editor of the Southern Tobacco Journal. Following eyection of officers, which will be held later today, the keonvention will adjourn. | “ u,.‘( i oo }g:(};»; bl - [ VO —> DreTEA /2orICED TEA —r/ 'WILKINS TEA FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1921 ; —By Webster.| THE WEATHER.: |BANQUET FOR VASA ORDEN | District of Columbia and Maryland | Dinner Will Feature Session of —Unsettled this afternoon, followed by generally fair tonight and tomor- tow; not much change in temperature; gentle to moderate northeast, shifting to_northwest winds.
