SENATE CHANGES IN TARIFF STATED| PRSI - Eighty-Page Report Asserts 1 + Farmers Would Gain by Revised Rates. By the Associated Press. Detalled explanations of the charnges made in the House tariff bill by Re- publican members of the Senate finance Topors anund ot pubheation. 1odey by ued for publication today ;the commitiee majority. Filing eight printed pages, the docu- ment advocated the proposed substitu- tion ‘of domestic for foreign values in - the computation. of .ad valorem duties, asserted that the measure would raise “the level of protection on agricul eommodities by 11 per cent and, going through the bill by individual ‘sched- ‘ules, gave the committee majority’s Teasons for the rates that it has agreed upon. The elimination of all international difficulties in the administration of the .tariff law was predicted as a result of ‘adopting the proposed method of levy- ing ad valorem duties. All necessary 'investigations. the report sald, would DO made ‘lithln the United States, thus ivoiding inquiries in other countries '\th their dlmt\flflu and occasional in- ternational disagreements. In addition, /it was asserted that through the new “method present inequalities resulting Arom differing production costs in va- ;‘Tlous nations would be avoided. ‘Wholesale Price Test. Domestic value was defined ps the oqm\flrm of United States value un- resent tariff law—the freely aflered ‘wholesale price of the imported or similar merchandise in American markets. ’l'hc elimination of these deductions, fhe report said, will have the effect of gflfly simplifying administration; and, properly done, will result in no change An the amount of duty collected. Going on to agricultural commodities, the report said that changes in this schedule, as compared with the House bill, were the result of additional evi- dence adduced at subcommittes hear- ings, and consist principally of “adjust- ments.” Subsequently, the report added, the committee had agreed to “the eon- siderable increases in rates on agricul- tural products provided by the House bill,” entailing an estimated increase of $25,000.000 in revenue from this sched- ule and raising the percentage of pro- tection from 23, under the present law, 10 34 under the proposed legislation. Explains Oil Duty. ‘Explaining its rejection of the of farm organizations for a duty of per cent on all vegetable oils, the com- mittee majority said that it considered eoconut oil, constituting 47 per cent of imports under this. heading, the most important and with 99 per cent of im- ported eoconut. oil coming in duty free from the Philippines, it had not beer deemed advisable to “disturb existing | free trade relations with the islands.” An increased duty on other fats and ofls also was considered unwise. In view of an increased domestic waol g‘m of about 33 per' cent over the t six years, the report sald, thé com- mittee decided that the increase of 3 eents a pound on raw- wool proposed by the House wis inadvisable and elim- inated this provision. At the same time an increased duty on wool wastes was recommended on the ground that the intent of Congress would be defeated if a substitute for wool is allbwed to come into the country at a rate lower than that placed upon wool itself. ‘The most important change in the :gar schedule was asserted to be. that ucing the rate on Cuban-sugar from the 2.40 sents per pound: figure pro- posed by the House to 2.20 cents. “The Tates on #il ftems in this sthedule.” the report said, “haye received careful consideration and the changes made have been made with the- interests of the consumers, producers, importers and | manufacturérs in mind.” Maple Sugar Rate Ralsed. ‘The House rate on maple sugar. an increase over existing law. was raised atill higher by the committee, it was | sald, in order “to offsct . the bonus. which, witnesses stated, was being paid indirectly to the maple sugar producers in Canada By the Canadian govern- ment.” ‘The House rates on rice ware reduced 0 existing: levels, the report explained, | hecause the industry was ‘“on an im- portant surplus basis. . exports being appmr)gmluly nine times as large as lea | 45 ‘The duty on lemons was raised to “ald in the orderly marketing of our lemon production in California, which At present must face the competition of speculative. entries from foreign eountries.” Calling nuenuon m increased im- of s, ‘Women's, CRehulovAku 0 sald | thh competition was “most keenlv felt ‘ by manufacturers of Mackay type of | ‘women's shoes, who are located nrln-| eipally in Massachusetts.” Imports of ‘women's turn shoes, produced in Swite- erland, were felt by Brooklyn manu- facturers. Hence the propoked duty of 20 per cent on shoes, now on the free list, the report explained. Position on Shingles. ‘The free Yisting of logs of fir, spruce, cedar or Western hemlock. fiow dutiable at $1 per 1,000 board meazure feet, was proposed because domestic sawmills and shingle mille in the Puget Sound area not -supplied with timberlands ‘were dependent in part on imported raw materials. Oosts of production in the United States and Canada were not materially different. the report said. edar lumber and shingles of wood, which the House took from the. free|: Nt and made dutiable at 25 per cent. would be transferred back to the free 18t under the committee bill for the same reasons given for free listing Joge and for the added reason. the report #ald, that imported shingles “are in general of higher grades than the bulk of domestie production.” An increase of 2!, to 3'; -cents pound in the rate on cesein was pro- posed, the report added. “in order that the dairy interests might derive some fuin.” year, it was contended. over 10,000.000.000 pounds of skimmed milk goes to ‘Wwaste, & portion of which mltm be converled into casein. ‘The duty on building brick, now free Mated, was proposed to protect the Hud- #on River producers from Belgian im- rts, and the rate on cement, also now .
