Mrs, Willebrandt's ar- ticles will start in The Star on Au- gust 5. Some of the reasons why she wrot2 the articles, and what, in part, they will reveal she told briefly today in the intervals of moving into her new suite of offices in which she is resum- ing in Washington the private practice interrupted by eight years of Govern- ment service.

Smoot_ will offer the proposal as a | substitute for the flat rate of 3 cents a pound placed on sugar in the House tariff bill. Hearings will be held next week, at which time the substitute will be con-| sidered by the committee. Under the sliding scale, the present | rate of $2.20 on sugar would apply when sugar is selling in New York at 6 cents | a xpou‘nd, which is about the present price. | Cuba would receive the same 20 per cent preferential under the sliding scale as it now enjoys when the flat rates ‘on sugar are applied. The sliding scale plan promises to be the subject of considerable controversy. It is figured on the basis of the aver- age prices in New .York over three months. Should the prices go up the tarifft would go down. Should the price drop, the tariff would increase. The maximum rate of 3 cents a pound would apply at any time the New York selling price for sugar was $5.20 or a less a hundredweight. The mini- mum rate of 1 cent a pound would be- come operative whenever the New York price reached $7.20 a hundredweight or | higher.

Whenever the net price in New York on refined sugar is $6.00 a hundred- weight the duty will be $2.20. Explaining the schedule, Smoot said: “As the net cash price of refined sugar | increases or decreases, the duty shall | fluctuate inversely, too, and in the same amount as the change in the refined price basis for the preceding week.” | Applying the new sliding scale sugar tariff to the present price of sugar at about $5.75 a hundredweight. the duty | on this product would be 2.45 cents a | pound, an increase over the present law, but a decrease from the House | tariff bill rate.

The duty on peanuts in the shell was left at 414 cents a pound as provided by the House, but the rate on shelled peanuts was reduced from 7 cents to 6 cents. ‘The duty on caseine, manufactured from skimmed milk and used in the manufacture of gloss paper, was in- creased from 2'; cents a pound to 3'2 cents. This was regarded as a victory for the dairy interests, whose plea for an increase Users of gloss paper had protested the increase. Senator King Cites Vicious Provision. Senator King of Utah, a Democratic member of the finance committee, yes. terday attacked as “one of the most vicious provisions” of the Hawley bill that which places in the hands of the Secretary of the Treasury the sole power of review of customs officials with respect to the basis of value. “For more than 100 year! , “the basis for the assessment of ad valorem duties was the foreign value of the imported articles. It is proposed in the Hawley bill to substitute for that | wise and long-standing provision differ- ent ones which will result in enormous increases in tariff duties even though | the rates are not changed. There has been no difficulty in ascertaining for- eign values for imports, but efforts have ‘been made to befog the issue and to in- duce the belief that a different basis of valuation must be set up.” “The Hawley bill,” he continued. “provides means by which tariff rates may be doubled and quadrupled in some instances, and places in the hands of the administration and executive au- thorities oppressive and dangerous pow- ers. The bill will make these agencies, executive and administrative, the ob- jects of constant pressure and political influence by those who are seeking pro- hibitive _duties, American markets.” en Boo is a National business banking are pub- ecutor of rben iihe all kinds on—fre- xchanges. estate.
