J0OVER T0 DECIDE WITHIN 10 DAYS Whether Tariff Bill and Mes- sages Agree Remains to Be Seen. BY JAMES P. SELVAGE. Associated Press Staff Writer ' Side by side upon his desk, President | I Hoover this week will have for com- ! arison the completed tariff bill and | he message he twice sent to Congress | presenting his views upon the revision of the eight-year-old Fordney-MecCum- ber act. At the opening of the special session and again when the regular session con- vened in December, the Chief Execu- tive worded identically his ideas upon the changes needed. They contain the only views he has expressed publicly. for since then, despite pressure brought to bear upon him. the Chief Executive has consistenly maintained a “hands- off” attitude toward the course of the i* legislation I+ “An effective tariff upon agricultural roducts that will compensate the | |t farmers’ higher cost and higher stan- dards of living.” was recommended by Mr. Hoover. Regarding the industrial products, he said View on Industrial Rates. “It would seem to me that the test of necessity for revision is in the main whether there has been a substantial slackening of activity in an industry during the past 10 years, and a con- sequent decrease of employment due to insurmountable competition in the products of that industry.” Whether Congress, in its tariff mak- ing has gone beyond the limits desired by the Chief Executive or has not ful- filled his expectations: whether the bill provides for the farmer to the extent of justice: whether it takes account of the “broad interests of the country as 8 whole.” with regard to foreign re- lations Mr. Hoover will decide within the 10 di he has in which to act on the measure after it is sent to him. The text of his tariff messages follow: “An effective tariff upon agricultural ucts, that will compensate e farmers’ higher cost and higher stand- ‘ards of living, has a dual purpose. Such & tariff not only protects the farmer in our domestic market, but it also stimulates him to diversify his crops UNDAY New and Old Tariff Rates Sugar, Milk, Cream, Cattle, Cotton, Textile, W ool Fabric and Many Other Agricultural Sched- ules Are Increased.

MARKETS DECLINE AS TARIFF PASSES Further Drop in Commodityé Prices Also Given as Cause | of Break. By the Associated Press. 3 NEW YORK, June 14.—Speculative markets declined broadly today. Stocks, which had bad weather Friday, the 13th, | bumped into an air pocket on Saturday, the 14th. Wheat broke below $1 a bushel in the Chicago grain pit and cotton lost $1.30 to $2.75 a bale on the New York Cotton Exchange. Share prices were unsettled early in the two-hour session by the announce- | ment of a reduction in the export price | of copper to 12.55 cents a pound from | 13 cents. Although the market's reac- | tions to the tariff appeared to be som what secondary to the further ea: ness in commodities, professional op- erators for the decline used the success of the bill in the Senate as capital. The net result, on the Stock Ex-| change, of the day's developments was a | | loes of $2 to $4 in such prominent shares | as American Telephone, General Elec- | tric, Westinghouse Electric, American Can, Radio, Standard Ol of New Jersey, Consolidated Gas of New York, Bethle- | hem Steel, National Biscuit and Johns- | Manville. As usual, numerous specialties | showed wider breaks. Telephone was conspicuously weak, | dropping more than $5 to $48.12, a new | low and closing not far from the bot- tom. Wall Street heard reports of a pos- | sible European boycott against copper { here in retaliation for the tariff, which | does not affect non-ferrous metals, but these rumors were generally discredited on the ground that foreign nations, un- til the development of the South Afri- can mines, must buy the red metal from American-controlled companies or not at all. However, the general situa- tion in the copper market, year. Anaconda lost about $2, Phelps Dodge nearly $1 and American Smelting about $2.50. The rails were also weak and several fell to new: lows, In Chicago, wheat closed 1% to 2% cents net lower, while curn was off 2% to 3% cents.

EUROPE ARRAYED AGAINST U.S. TARIFF: Proposed Increases Resent-| ed as Nations Close Eyes to Own High Duties. BY A. R. DECKER. By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1930, PARIS, France, June 14.—Right or wrong, Europe is up in arms against the proposed increases in the American ariff. Opposition to the contemplated rais- ing of American tariff rates is on = sentimental basis, as the European nations close their eyes to thelr own high duties. There is a long list of | American goods which are refused the | right to enter some countries at any duty rate whatever, such as radio parts and automobiles, which are barred by | several Central European states. Sales of U. S. Autos Hampered. Dealers in American automobiles all over Europe announce sales difficulties. | Here is a typical example: A Swiss manufacturer of electrical goods refuses s |to buy an American ‘car because he | fears that American classification of his electric time device as a watch pre- vents him from exporting to the United | States. The Swiss bought & German | car, though he knows that the Ameri- | can car is better for his needs. A Swiss starts to boycott American goods before VOTES SHOWG. 0., SECURED TARFF Balloting Principally Along Party Lines, But Con- stituency Shows. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. ‘The Republican party is still the party of protection, though with weakened strength, while the Democratic party in the United States Senate still re- mains true to its traditional hostility to a high tariff. Out of the 44 votes recorded in favor of the Hawley-Smoot bill in the Senate, all but 5 came from the Republican side. And of the votes cast against the bill, all but 12 came -from the Demo- cratic side. This preponderance of Democratic votes against the measure is taken to mean that the five Democrats who helped to pass the bill will not be re- | garded as typical of the party's posi- tion. Thus, for instance, the two Senators from Louisiana, the two Senators from Florida and the single Democratic Sen- ator from Wyoming have always been known as protectionists because of the demands of their constituencies, The Senators from Louisiana departed from the Woodrow Wilson position on the tariff because of an insistence on pro- tection for sugar. The Florida Senators naturally are vigilant with respect to citrus fruits, and the Wyoming Senator is deeply interested in seeing that the wool Industry is served, because of the large sheep ranches in his State. Financial Interests Fight, Analyzing the vote, it is interesting to see how many Democrats who voted for high duties in particular schedules were recorded against the whole bill on final passage. This, the Rpeublican g:y char, does not absolve the ocTats responsibility, Never- theless, when the final count was made and the tally showed 44 in favor and 42 against, a change of 2 votes would have defeated the bill. There was no certainty until the last minute that some shift might not be made, An extraordinary amount of interest surrounded the voting because of the t | | distinct sentiment coming from New and to grow products that he couid| Onions—2.50 cents Ib.: present, 1.50 | pet.; present, 1 cent Ib. or 50 cents per | Georgls, contended the bill “instead of | &M% Wood, Woodruff of Michigan, e M Y cents. not otherwise produce, and thus lessens his dependence upon exports to foreign markets. The great expansion of pro- duction abroad under the conditions I have mentioned renders foreign com- tion in our export markets increas- ly serious. It seems but natural, therefore, that the American farmer, having been greatly handicapped in his forelgn market by such competition from the younger expanding countries, should ask that foreign access to our domestic markets should be regulated by taking into account the differences in our costs of production. Economic Hardships Cited. “In considering the tariff for other industries than agriculture, we find that there have been economic hardships necessitat! & readjustment of some of the ache . Beven years of experience under the tariff bill enacted in 1822 have demonstrated the wisdom of Congress in the enactment of that measure. On the whole it has worked well. In the main, high wages have been maintained at high levels; exports and imports have steadily increased; ‘with some exceptions our manufacturing industries have been prosperous. Never- theless, economic changes have taken place during that time which have P! certain domestic products at a disadvantage and new industries have e tive clauses of the laws as written in 1022 “It would seem to me that the test of necessity for revision is, in the main, Whether there has been a substantial rck!ntn; of activity in an industry uring the past few years, as a con- sequent decrease of employment due to insurmountable competition in the products on' that industry. It is not as if we were setting up & new basis of protective duties; we did that seven years ago. What we need to remedy now is whatever substantial loss of em- ployment may have resulted from slips since that time. * + “In determining changes in our tariff we must not fail to take into account the broad interests of the coun- try as a whole, and such interests in- clude our trade relations with other countries.” R LEGISLATORS HOPE FOR ADJOURNMENT| Two Controversial Measures Are Put on Calendar of Senate, However. B the Associated Press. Two controversial measures were given a place on the Senate calendar yesterda; congressional Jeaders still ‘were hopeful the impatient House would rod the Senate to an adjustment by e end of this week. Senator Watson of Indiana. the Re- publican leader, placed the House bill regulating motor the calendar behind the rivers and harbors bill and the veterans' relief measures. Controversies are in prospect on both the motor bus and rivers and harbors bills.

The Democratic party, in its opposition to the bill, stands with ' ‘Wall Street’ which its orators have assailed on every soap box from here to California during the past half | century; the importers and the big| business interests who are using Amer- | ican dollars to build factories in every port of the world where labor costs are | low."” The measure carries the highest rates in history on agricultural produets, wool and woolen goods and other tex- tiles, including the fast-growing rayon group. Compared with 2,830 named items and basket clauses in the present law, the Fordney-McCumber act of 1922, the Hawley-Smoot measure embraces | 3218 commodities by specified and | group names. Of these 1,112 have been changed, | 887 being given higher duties and 235 | reductions. More than 250 of the in-| creases are on farm products in the raw and processed state, including sugar, dairy products, grains, cattle, | meats, tobacco, fruits, nuts and seeds. | Taxed Items Now Free. In addition 75 items now carrying import taxes are placed on the free list, while 48 now free are placed be- hind the tariff wall. | The principal items taken from the | of free list are soft wood lumber, brick, | cement, long staple cotton, hides, leath. -| ers and shoes. Logs, now dutiabie at $1 | {# thousand board feet, are the chief | commodity placed on the free list. The | lumber levy, applicable to fir, spruce, hemlock, pine and larch, is a provision | taking effect only if Canada or Mexico | tax American exports of these products. | The sugar duty, which raises approxi- | mately one-fourth of the country's total customs receipts, is increased against | Cuban raws from 176 to 2 cents a| |pound, with the rate against other | countries 2.50° against 2.20 cents. | Automobiles, plate giass and crude and sheet aluminum and aluminum wares are the major commodities given | lower rates compared with existing law. | In addition to protecting the New England shoe industry, the bill raises rates on straw and feit hats, clothing | of all descriptions, zinc and manganese ores, pottery and chinaware, novelty | jewelry, furniture, chemicals, paints, many varieties of paper, machinery and | scores of miscellaneous products, Administration Changed. The administrative provision has been rewritten to a large extent, although the make-up of the Tarifl Commission is kept at six members and will be bi-/ partisn, as at present. The flexible provision has been modi- fied only slightly. Whereas at present | the Tariff Commission reports its find- | ings to the President, and he raises or | lowers & duty within a limit of 50 per cent based on those findings, the com- | | mission under the bill would recommend | the duty within the 50 per cent range, | and the President would be required to act on that particular rate.

McLeod of Michigan, who has been serving dur- | ing the present-session of Congress as acting chairman of the House District committee, expects to leave Washing- | ton this morning for Detroit and to hold | conferences in other parts of the State to help him in reaching a decision as | to whether or not he will be a candidate | for governor. For several months Represenative McLeod has been listening to the urg- ings of many political leaders in Mich- igan, who have been seeking to get his O. K. on their plans to run him for governor. Petitions have been circulated and have been signed by many thou- #ands of voters all over the State. The slogan has also been used, “Draft Me- Leod for Governor,” and apparently has been very effective. Representative McLeod, although he | has consulted with personal friends and some of the party leaders, has not given any intimation whether he will consent to allow his name to be used. | 1t is understood that the campaign or- ganization is ready and that his friends are ready to “subscribe all the law al- lows” to put him over. ‘The trip to Detroit is really to take his family home for the Summer, but | |at the same time he is expected to make his decision regarding the gubernatorial campaign.

Swiss Idea “Sentimental.” The Swiss ideas on the tariff are paralieled throughout Europe—and it is sentimental. You hear business men say: “Europe must unite against Amer- ica or be crushed,” and then they plan an economic United States of Europe. Also the Europeans never mention in their attacks against the American tariff policy that most of their pur- chases from the United States are for raw materials without which European industry would cease. Iropeans mever mention that goods made from Ameri- can raw materials are sold in a trade surplus to countries with which often the American trade balance is unfavor- able. “Reprisals” Not Justified. It is possible that the sentimental fight against the American tariff will cease when it is found that the United States still buys goods from Europe, and ns far as reprisals are concerned Euro- pean tariffs are already more than counterbalancing the costs of American mass production. There is a surplus of Europeah in- dustries. Europeans will more and more supply their own needs. It is doubtful whether lower American tariffs could help much in holding the European market, After the fight against the new tariff is guided less by sentiment, Europe will buy from the United States what we make best and cheapest.

CHICAGO, June 14.—Whether cer- | tain unusual bequests in the will of the | late Louls A. Thiel, Chicago fresco art- | ist, will be mace depended upon several things today. After his death last February rel tives and friends received engraved in- vitations, which had been prepared in advance, to his funeral. His will stipu- lated that on each June 17 and Novem- York and Chicago financial districts urging that the bill be killed. This same pressure now will be exerted to persuade President Hoover to write a veto, But the President is committed just as were the members of the Senate to some form of tariff legislation when onge the legislative ball starts rolling. | Had the business interests of the coun- try made their protests vocal three months ago, before the bill went to con- ference, it could easily have been buried in the Senate. But not until nearly every Senator had committed himselt in some way on tariff revision—and a large number had expressed themselves in favor of it—did the opposition really start, and then it was difficult for Sen- ators to reverse themselves, Hoover Approval Expected, Nobody wanted to assume the respon- sibility for killing the bill, pflrucflmy since the pressure for tariff protection was coming from agricuitural regions. It is significant. however. that on final passage many of the Senators from ricultural States voted aj including Senator Borah of Idaho, who was originally insistent that a special session be called to pass a tariff bill to protect agricultural products, ‘The general feeling is that President Hoover: will také a few days only to ex- ll‘l:ll:ll the bill, hll!' that he will sign 1t Wi message of protest, expressing his nlg‘enun of things that have crept into measure which are contrary to sound public policy, especially in the possible injury of foreign trade. But that is what always happens whenever the tariff is open wide for revision, (Copyright, 1830.) VACATION LODGE OPENS WITH MANY GUESTS Largest Registration in History Attends Y. W. C. A.
