.S PANTARFF VAR SEEN LIELY American Exporters Viewi Proposed Increase in Lumber Duty as Discriminatory. By the Associated Press. The possibility of a tariff war be- | tween Japan and theé United States is foreseen in official circles here as a re- sult of the action of the Japanese Diet in approving a new tariffl act increas- ing the rates on Jumber. American lumber interests have taken the position that the rates are discriminatory and that the act thus violates the most favored nation clause of the Japanese-American treaty of commerce of 1911. Retaliatory tariffs on raw silk and tea, the principal Japanese inportations in this country, have been suggested by American business interests, and _this proposal is rec ng serious considera- tion at the Capitol. The new Japanese tariff does not go into effect until the cabinet promul- | gates it. Meanwhile, Senators Steiwer and McNary of Oregon are urging the | State Department to present the com- plaints of this Nation to the Far East | government. Cabinet Controls Plan. | Considerable interest is shown in the | sjtuation at the State Department. Un- less the Jananese cabinet does promul- gate the tariff act by publication in the official gazette it will not become law. Those considering retaliatory tariffs Dishwashing Made Basis of Master’s Degree in Thesis By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 20.—The ancient art of dishwashing, too, has its inherent poetry of thythm. Probably never before has this particular art been made the basis of 2 master of arts degree. Others, it is true, have earned their way to a degree by a com- mercialized form of dishwashing, but Miss Nellie Vedder's selection of the art as the subject of her master's thesis at the University of Chicago is unique. For six months Miss Vedder applied Herself diligently to the theory and practice of dishwash- ing. While one helper held a stop-watch and a second counted every movement, Miss Vedder went thrice daily through the traditional rites of dishwashing from clearing the table to storing away the silver and dishes. She arrived at certain conclu- sions. She determined the slow- est of three ideal methods of laundering tableware required 38 minutes and 8 seconds and 1,954 movements. This was for a day's service for a family of four. The speediest of her meth- ods had the dishes in the cup- board in 22 minutes and 31 sec- onds, with 1,015 motions. There were other fine points too, undiscovered by the amateur dishwasher of the last 10 cen- turies or so. CANADIAN OFFICIAL DIES. !

It is contended by American lumber- | men that tariff on raw silk will be | necessary because they must turn to a market in this country for the prospec- | tive loss of trade with the Orient. | It is the further contention of the lumber industry that the increased | tariff rates on lumber proposed in Japan | Tesult from recent important conces- | sions received by the Japanese from Russia on cedars in the Soviet fields and that the new law will discriminate | against America in favor of Russia. Lumber valued at $13.709,845 was shipped to Japan from this country in 1927. The total value of this export | was slightly larger last year. | U. S. Attitude Sympathetic. Reports received in Washington indi- cate a very sympathetic attitude to the American viewpoint by the Japanese trade, particularly those interested in American business, and the prospective tariff war seems to involve the Japanese-Soviet trade interests on the one side and the Japanese-Americans on | the other. Already Japan has a ' considerable | trade balance over this Nation. In 1928 America bought $384,346,123 worth of materials from Japan, while that coun- try’s purchases here amounted to $288,- 054,175, ‘The provision in the Japanese-Ameri- can commercial treaty of 1911, which the State Department is studying in re- lation to the proposed lumber tariff, atates: “Neither contracting party shall im- pose any other or higher duties or charges on the exportation of any arti- cle to the u&nwrm I:“bthet ;m:r nhlm are or may be pay; n the exporta- tion of th!’lfk.'l’rh!il:h to any other foreign country.” Bucket Brigade Fights Blaze.
