.SHAWS PROPOSAL
OF BONDED PORTS
Secretary'S Defense Of Sys-
tenn Successful in Ger
man Empire.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, Feb. 15.-Les-
lie NJ Shaw. Secretary OF the Treasury.
was the principal speaker at the annual
dinner Of the board Of trade. The Sec
rotary explained at length his position
In regard to free ports and said that
Be saw no harm in the fact that some
American goods are exported at prices
lower than they sell for at home. Mr..
Shaw said:
In a recent speech before the New
Hampshire Board Of Trade I suggested
the adoption Of the German economic
policy Of free ports.
NO one objects 10 a bonded tanrery
into which South American hides can be
taken free OF duty. provided the leather
produced therefrOm is exported. No one
objects 10 q bonded shoe factory for The
consumption ofimported leather provided
the shoes produced therefrom are ex-
ported No one objects TO a bonded mill
Cor the consumption OF cheap Canadian
wheat provided the -four and all by
products are exported
But when the feasibility Of including
a tannery, a shoe shop. a -four mill IN
der single bond is suggested, in inita-
ton OF Germany, economic writer's hold
up ;heir hands in horror.
The bonded territory would have 10
be inclosed and prepared az private ex-
pense. The Government would bond
then, as it does now, when conditions
were complied with.
The objection most frequently raised
end most persisten-ly urged against the
drawback-the bonGed factory and the
EcEded ports that they permit the
American producer to sell abroad cheap
or than at home. II there be an article
produced in Europe which is not regu-
laTly sold for export TO Am. ~ica eheaoer
IHan II is sold in the C5Vntry OF lis
origin. the Treasury Department has NOT
discovered IT,
4 do not know 10 what extent our
people sell abroad cheaper than al
nome. I am not among those VINO seri-
ously object 20 the policy. I do not
think however. that the practice pre-
vails in this country to any considerable
extent, except in goods produced in bond
or on which drawback has been al
lowed"
