TARIFF EXPERT RETURNS
FROM TRIP TO EUROPE
Prof. II. G. Emery Will Report to
President Taft on OBJ
servations.

Prof. H. G. Emery. chairman Of the
tariff board of the Treasury, has re-
turned to Washington from a two
month trip abroad. He expects to have
conference in a short time with Pres
ident Taft and report to the chief ex-
ecutive facts and observations gathered
on the trip.
Prof. Emery went to Europe to gather
tariff making of those countries. He
wanted to know the basis of the tariff
laws in Europe. particularly whether
they are founded upon industrial con-
ditions in and out of the respective
countries. He found that Germany and
Austria, for instance, have permanent
bureaus for dealing with industrial eff
fects as they relate to the tariff and
that most of the other countries are
advanced in this respect. Prof. Emery
did not attempt to go into the question
of differences Of cost OF European and
American made articles at this time.
That is to be reserved for later work.
The tariff board now has about fifteen
experts at work in the United states
upon conditions surrounding various
Industries affected by the tarln laws.
These Investigations will go to the bot
tom of each industry and each tarin
schedule affecting that industry. AS
fast as possible every tariff schedule
will be taken up in its relation to the
manufacturing and other industries.
When this information has been Sc
cured the board will then start upon
ascertainihg similar conditions In SINH
lar industries abroad, thereby securing
comparative data, from which Presf-
dent Taft and Congress will be able to
tell whether tariff duties are too high
or low, judged from a protective
standpoint.
