'HOLDS U, S, WRONG IN TARIFF VIEWS Proposed Measure Compared to Dumping Practice by " Germany in 1914. BY GERVILLE REACHE. By Cabie to The Star. PARIS, July 13.—It was to be ex- pectéd—not merely one or two isolated nationis protesting agginst the Hawley- Smoot tariff bill, but®38 powers whose foreign trade would more or less suffer badly by an increase in American du- ties over the already high tariff wall set by the Fordney-McCumber tariff of 1922! There is no need to be an experienced economist to realize that the United States is on_the wrong road from the viewpoint of foreign trade relations. But probably it is not enough to stop Congress on the downhill route of | super-protectionism. It is a question whether the new tariff will prove par- ticularly interesting from the domestic viewpoint The uncompromising attitude of gov- ernments in the matter of customs duties is only the survival of the old theory according to which the state ought to aid and protect home trade and industry against foreign competi- tion, whatever form it takes. The en- couragement, under the proposed tariff, of dumping as practiced by Germany in 1914, is an anti-ecenomic formula tending to maintain artificially high prices at home for the purpose of com- pensating for voluntary losses incurred on exports. Bill Has Two Effects. From the internal viewpoint, the new | tariff bill has already produced two re- markable efects: he first time in three year: imports ex- ceeded exports The very fear of the new tariff, in fact, stimulated imports of different commodities, no- v sugar. and cotton shipments de- 1t is true that it was n same during the following month, but iv is & well economic law that exports follow imports. If the United Statees buys less and less abroad it is very probable that the United States will sell less and less abroad. The second effect is this. The United States imported during the first quarter of the year over $170,000,000 in gold, which other nations had to send to cover heavy deficits in their trade bal- ances. If this yellow metal had not been sterilized by the Reserve banks it might have had a certain influence on the monetary rate. From the international viewpoint, the Cuban question, anl the British and South American problems will present | themselves. Common action on the part of the dominions, in which Canada would take the initiative, would un- doubtedly be favorably welcomed in the Antilles, perhaps even in India, but cer- tainly in Australia and New Zealand, since these countries have already pro- tested to the State Department of the United States. Brings About Miracle. On the other hand America brought about a miracle in that her customs | tions, have created among European na- tions an outline of instinctive solidarity |and have brought to reality the Utopia | of a European customs union. European industry is not far enough advanced for & speedy realization of such vast plans, Nevertheless since 1938 ated. concentration, forms, with Soviet mo- nopolization, one of the most interest- ing steps in the economic history of the old_continent. ‘The United States has given Europe with the Webb law an example of the extension of a program even of foreign economic imperialism, confirmed by the new tariff.

Burbot 0il Eight Times as Potent, Experiments Reveal. ‘The nearest fresh water relative of the cod, the burbot fish, may strip its kin of honors in producing medicinally valuable oil. Sclentific - experiments, reported to the Bureau of Fisheries, have demon- strated that burbot liver oil is eight times as potent as cod liver oll in the ireatment of rickets. ‘The burbot, inhabiting the Greai Lakes and considered a pest by fisher- preys on small fry, may become a sig- nificant part of the commercial catch, it is believed. ‘The annual catch of the fish, known also as lawyer or eel pout, was 510,972 pounds in 1927. | We Guarantee Perfect Satis- faction one pair of glasses). men because it tears their nets and | regularly at $15.
