By the Assaciated Press. Canada Figures Quoted by Representative and Sena- tor George Twitted. Representative Will Wood, chairman of the Republican Congressional Cam- paign Committee, yesterday hit back at Democratic critics of the new tariff law. Singling out a statement issued | through the Democratic National Com- | mittee by Senator George of Georgia, | in which the Senator said that the tariff law was responsible for “the costly curtailment of American busi- ness in Canada” and that the “Do- minfon is massing reprisal guns,” Mr. Wood declared that “Few persons on either side of the international boundary line seem to ap- preciate the fact that the Canadian | tariff actually 1s and has been higher | ¢ instances than the American Wood pointed out that Canada on her total imports from the United States in 1922 levied a tariff on all but | 22 per cent. The United States, he said, admitted 60.05 per cent of all imports from Canada free of duty. | Senator George Twitted. | Mr. Wood also twitted Senator | George on the fact that Mr. George | had voted for increased duties on cat- | tle and on casein, both products which | are imported from Canada in large quantities. Mr. Wood continued: “Senator George, in his statement, | comments on our considerabe trade | with Canada, asserting that a large | part of it ccnsists of automobiles we | export to that country. By offending Canada in raising our tariff rates— though he neglected to mention the | rates on cattle and casein among them —Senator George argues that the great | American automobile manufacturing | industry stands out as ‘a shining target for Canada’s reprisal fire.’ “It might have been wiser on Sen- ator George's part had he learned something about American and Cana- dian tariffs on automobiles before speaking. “In the Fordney-McCumber tariff act of 1922 we provided a 25 per cent ad valorem duty on automobiles, bodies, chasses, motor cycles and parts thereof, not including tires, with the require- ment that if any country imposed a higher duty on the articles specified, our duty on similar imports from that country would be raised to that higher figure. This Is what is known as a oountervailing duty, many of which | Canada has put into her new tariff. | Reductions Are Shown. “In the Hawley-Smoot act, we have retained at 25 per cent ad valorem only on automobile trucks, valued at $1,000 | or more, on truck and motor bus chassis valued at $750 or more, truck | Jbodies valued at $250 or more, and | motor busses designed for the carriage | of more than 10 persons. But we have reduced to 10 per cent ad valorem the | duty on “all other automobiles, auto- | mobile chassis, and automobile bodies, and motor cycles’ and likewise have | re-enacted the countervailing duty. “Now, let us see what Canada does. Under her old and new tariffs, Canada levies a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem | on all automobiles valued at $1200 or less, and of 27!> per cent on all cost- ing more than $1,200.

Pushed ahead to offset business de- pression, road building wes estimated today by one of President Hoover's fact- finding committees to be on its way to & record expenditure of $1,750,000,000. | This figure, equal to the estimated losses suffered by all neutrals during | the World War, marks an increase of | more than $250,000,000 over the 1929 outlay. It was arrived at In a survey begun last July by the Committee on Recent Economic Changes of the President's | Conference on Unemployment, in ap praising public construction as a fac- tor in business stability. Including expenditures for roads and ! instanly killed at the Anderson quarry, | the vouth of the land, and they are not overdoing it. These programs are AMONg the best things for the health and strength of the young people of Amef- ica we have anywhere today. “Take the modern girl of 20 years, for instance. She now has the benefit | of athletics and exefcise that were im- possible to the girl of 10 years ago on account of the difference in social and athletic standards of the two periods. Physically, the 20-year-old girl of today is a different girl from the 20-year-old girl 10 years ago.” { Man Crushed in Quarry. RION, S. C,, July 19 (#)—B. H.
