American manufacturers of toys and dolls asked the Senate finance committee yesterday not only for protection against German and Ja- panese competition, but also for the exclusion of these articles which are the product of child labgr. Specifi- cally they asked for a duty of 40 per cent of the value of the toys and dolls based on the prices prevailing in the American market. Spokesmen for the manufacturers piled high the committee table with toys ranging all the way from the wooden letter blocks to the electric train to support their argument that they had revolutionized the industry by ‘coupling the educational with the amusement feature for the children. They had been able to build up the industry here during the war, they said, and had turned from the “flimsy, namby-pamby”’ things imported be- education. German Competition Serious.
