Cheney on Thursday Mr. Cheney’s address was to have been on the tariff commission, & sub- ject of vital interest to every busi- ness man, and it s with keen disap- pointment that the members of the committee learn that he will not be eble to.attend.

Mr. Cheney’s Views on Commission. In his letter to Secretary Pearson, Mr. Cheney gave his views on the tariff commission and in concluding he urged the Norwich — Chamber Commerce and the Eastern Develop- ment Commlttee to use their influence with the Connecticut delegation in conyress. Mr. Cheney's views, as expressed in his letter, are as follows: - There has been a great deal said about the Tariff Commission the tariff out of politics. . This would not be the result of a tariff commis- mission, nor do T belleve that it is a desirable end to aim at. _As long as there is a disagreement between the citizens of the United States as to the purposes for which a tariff should be imposed, -one group of persons main- taining that the tariff should protect the industries of the United States, and ald in their development and growth to the end that the United States may make. within its own bor- ders all those things which are neces sary for its national edistence, (and at the present time there are fewef people than usual who do not appre- clate the desirability of a nation be- ing seif-sustaining), and another group of persons maintaining that the tariff is solely for the purpose of rais- ing revenue for the purposes of the gevernment and should mot fulfill any other function than that of providing revenue, the tariff is and of necessity must be a political issue. 1 there- fore think that it has been much more properly put to say that the ‘Tarift Commission shanld not aim to take the tariff out of politics, but to take the politics ‘out of the tariff, that is, the blind favoritism and log-roiling which has been an unseemly incident in the consideration of the tariff by our con- gress in past vears. It reduces this very important element in our national policy to a basis of scientific fact, carefully and. scientifically determined, and with justice and equity to all, on order that congress. the president and the people of the United’ States shall have before them for consideration. not the ex parte statements of people in- terested in the tariff rates, but impar- tial judgment of trained experts as to what would be the result of raising or lowering the tariff on any particular articl. The principle of a Tariff Commission is not s6 new as _people generally would have us understand. In fact, there has always been at the forma tion of every tariff a tariff board hast- ily assembled without special train- ing and with very little information upon the subjects which they have been asked to pass. This has been the corps of men called in to advise the Members of the house and the sen- ate upon the various schedules. It has been made up in no responsible way and without system, from the ex- aminers in the customs houses, the clerks in the census bureaus, and the statisticians of the treasury depart- ment, men having little ability and training for the work laid out for them. To my sorrow, it has been my lot in three tariff revisions to have to con- tend with the ignorance of this hastily constituted tariff board and to pa- tiently and carefully explain to them the rudimentary principles relating tq the subjects upon which their advice had Been asked. During the forma- tion of the last tariff bill, 2 gentleman from “the treasury department was glven astounding power in relation to the schedule affecting our industry, an interest smounting to $250,000,000 a year, and having so little information in relation to the subject that it was necessary to carefully explain to him wi grams, samples, and price-lists the difference between materials which any man in the. silk business would have seen at a glance; and when it was all done, it had to be gone over again, and then he did not understang it, vet decided with perfect ease and freedom of duty involving milllons of dollars, and the committee, knowing nothing about the subject—and mot trusting the manufacturers, accepted his statements as authoritative. Instead of having an inv tion which: is conducted over a perlod. of possibly a month—for never has that amount of time been given to any one schedule of the tariff by the commit- tee of congress—there ought to be a continuous and careful investigatfon by men trained to the work going on all the time, to the end that we may know in advance with a fair degree of accuracy whether the reduction in a duty will result in an increased im- port and increased revenue or a de- creased revenue; whether the addi- tion of a higher duty would result in stopping the imports, in lowering the revenues or in rasing the revenues; what its effect would be upon the in- dustry of the United States, etermine taking | e nual meeting. From 12 to 12.30 thers e tion in ess. I regret that I have been unable to meet you to explain my views face to face, and trust that this statement will of | glve you a gist of the matter. HEARD REPORTS FROM " FRENCH BATTLEFIELDS George T, Berry Addressed Spe- al Meeting of Norwich McCall Mission. A special meeting of the Norwich McAll auxiliary was held in the Os- good Memorial on Thursday afternoon and was condlicted by the president, Mrs. Leonard W. Bacon. It was open- ed with responsive readings, prayer by Rev. Dr. S. H. Howe and the singing of & hymn. The usual reports were given by the secretary and treasurer. The real purpose of the meeting was to hear the address by Rey. George T. Berry, field secretary of the national society, who brought the latest reports from the battlefields in France and from the annual meeting”at Elizabeth, N. J. This auxiliary was repaid for its past.years efforis in the\ grateful letters of thanks which come from over the sea. The mission is more than ever dependent on the American asso- clation, now that other sources are lessened. - - In England the war tax of one-quar- ter of their income prevents the ealthy people from giving as former- ly. The relief work will be necessary for many years, as the war will leave @ legacy of need for us to help, Mr. Berry spoke of Monsieur Braca's wonderful address upop, the stability and conservatism of the French char- acter. The only nation which has re- mained in her place for 16 centuries and which still shows a steadfastness and strength -~ of character against which the tides of malice and hatred beat in vain, she will go back to her leadership 0f the world. Bveryone should read Boutrelle's war songs, translated by Miss Dickerman. Mr. Berry also told of the letters from Dr. McWilliams, an American surgeon. in the repair hospital in France, and the touching stories told by Mrs. Berkeley Smith, daughter-in- law of F. Hopkinson Smith, which gave inside .views of the wounded in the hospital where she worked. A letter from M. Merle D'Aubigny told of the Sussex disaster as seen from near at hand. In the early days of the war there was a strong feeling in France against the indifference shown by the United States towards the principles which this country professes. They thought we were ungrateful for the 77; million dollars and the many soldi which France gzave to us during the American Revolution. But the gifts and sympathy of the people in Amer- ica, independent of the government, have made them come to realize that we are with them in spirit—90 per cent. of us. It would be dreadful for America to lose the ‘love of France. France has always fought the battle of liberty vicariously and now she is fighting our battle as well as her own, It is a comfort to find so many of our young men mindful of the comrades of Lafayette and gratefully doing what they can to pay our debt. Sad as is the present, there are also future sor- rows to reckon with. Ten million women in Europe have lost their hus- bands or their chance of marriage. Many of thess are in need of sympathy as well as are the soldiers who are being adopted as godsons and sent cheering letters while risking _their lives at the front. Some of the work these women are doing is~very repul- sive to them. One, the wife of a butcher, has had to take up his work. Over $10 was contributed toward tho war relief work and the meeting closed with praver by Rev. Mr. Berry. ARE SENDING BODY HOME FROM PANAMA.
