SMOUTSAYS TRADE JUSTIFES TARKF| Senate Commitfee Chairman Cites Cutting of Decrease Since June 18. The new tariff lJaw is vindicated by a study of customs receipts, in the opin- jon of Chairman Smoot of the Senate Pinance Committee, who sees American foreign trade improving and regards it as “one of the.most healthful signs|: the economic horizon.” m‘l‘be Utahan'’s statement showed that while customs receipts since June 18, when the new tariff act went fect, to November 24 have ‘declined $75,000,000, compared with the. same period last year, the last 10-day period disclosed a drop of only 6.8 per cent as compared with 52 per cent for the 10- day period soon after the act became operative. “The table is indeed a remarkable showing for & new tariff law,” he said, “a law which was passed in the midst of a domestic depression and while international commerce was suffering from the effects of a world-wide de- pression.” He listed imports for the first quar- ter of the current fiscal year at $665,.- * 271,360, two-thirds of which were made up of non-dutiable merchandise. After showing free goods declined 40 per cent, as compared with 45 per cent for duti- able items, he sald it would be “folly fo assume that the decline in the im- portations of free goods was due to the tariff law.” Smoot explained the large drop in customs revenues immediately follow- ing passage of the tariff law as due to a rush of imports to avoid payment of the higher rates just prior to its effective date and a “world-wide slump in business.” GUARD AGAINST TURKISH DRUG SMUGGLING SOUGHT La Guardia Wants Inspection of Every Article Reaching U. 8.
