APPEAL BY PERS|ANS
TO THE UNITED STATES

Persians In the United States and
elsewhere are making strenuous efforts
to have W. Morgan Shuster retain his
position as treasurer general of
that country. Letters on the
subject are being received at the
headquarters Of the Persian Edu-
cational Society. 1900 Belmont road,
this city. and 1t is understood COM
munications urging him to remain are
being sent to Mr.. Shuster.
The reason for this. according to q
statement made by Mira Ahmad
sohrab. treasurer OF the society. is
that Mr.. Shuster. In the eyes Of tho
Persians, is q representative American.
''The Persians do not look upon Mr..
Shuster so much as an Official" said
American. They afeel that they can
trust him. and they feel that all the
projects he proposes are for their
good"
Appeal to Americans.
A statement issued by the Persian
American Educational Society today.
through Mr.. Sohrab. says in part:
1--WE. the Persians of the United States,
appeal to the people OF America to come
to the aid Of Persia at this most crucial
IliIlc anu uClIouSei dlc tudl lIclT iOHc VI
justice and freedom is not yet lost. The
people of Persia, through their represent
atives in parliament assembled, in their
final desperation for national integrity
and independence, invited American finan-
cial advisers to reconstruct the fiscal sys-
tenn OF their beloved country. Morgan
Shuster and his associates have had from
the time of their arrival in Persia the
entire confidence and support of the Per-
SLAMS Of all political and religious creeds.
"But the European powers, especially
Russia, have systematically blocked Mr..
Shuster's ways in the organization Of the
financial reforms. It is an open secret
that the whole aim OF Russia Is to find a
pretended excuse for the annexation OF
the north Of Persia to her already unjustf-
fable usurpation of Persian territory. But
she finds Americas honest administration
and whole-hearted sincerity OF the finan-
cial commission q great hindrance in the
exercise Of her high-handed proceedings.
Urgent Need Set Forth.
I'VE appeal to the American people to
cable Mr.. Morgan Shuster at Teheran,
Persia, and urge him not to resign his
post In the face OF European pressure
and political intrigues. Should he resign
his place 1t will not only be a great blow
to American prestige and moral influence,
but 1t will kill. for all time to come. the
market for their goods and commerce.

be a horizontal reduction of the ex-
listing chemical schedule by one-fourth,
or 25 per cent of the present duties.
1t was said that the specific duties in
the existing law had been transmitted
into their equivalent ad valorem and
that the result had been reduced by %
per cent The method used In reaching
this equivalent was quite Inaccurate,
as Is shown by actual inquiry as to the
real market price OF each article. An
examination made by an expert chem
ist of the tariff board into certain
paragraphs Of the schedule and veri-
fed by customs experts of the Treas
ury Department shows discrepancies in
the alleged 25 per cent reduction Of
| rates and gives ground for believing
| that If time permitte0 close and care
| ful' analysis of all the paragraphs
would show many others.
Instead of a horizontal reduction OF
25 per cent this examination shows
that the reductions made by the
amendment in some paragraphs are
| much greater than ~25 per cent, and that
| in others the change, Is a substantial
| increase instead Of reduction Of the
| present duties
Thus boracic acid Is dutiable under
the present law at cents per pound.
The amendment imposes duty of so
/ per cent ad yalorem. At the foreign
/ price OF to 6h cents per pound the
amended rate would be from 3.6 to 3.9
cents per pound. or an actual increase
from 90 to 80 per cent. Tartaric acid
under the amendment has a duty 4
per cent higher than that of existing
4 law. Alum under the amendment has
q rate Of 10 per cent higher than ex-
/ listing law. Bleaching powder has a
rate under the amendment that Is 80
per cent higher than the existing rate.
| Zinc oxide has an increase Of rate in
the amendment OF IS per cent over that
OF existing law.
On the other hand. we find in other
cases a greater reduction than the pro.
posed Is per cent Thus borax is given q
rate in the amendment which is q re.
duction Of 80 per cent below the existing
rate while commercial chloroform In thu
