Raising tn. Level Of Sect prless.


The new tariff law will let beef into
the United States from countries that
can raise and sell 1t below the prices at
present obtaining in the United States.
Taking two Of these countries In par
ticular. Canada and Argentina, there
will be from the first a very marked
difference in the value OF the imported
meat. Argentine cattle, from all &C.
counts. are as rule comparable with
Texan cattle in the days Of the long
grass range. The forme. are alfalfa
fed to a considerable cSsent, 1t IL said.
but alfalfa is not as refining q fodder
as American corn or Canadian grass
and vegetables. Canadian cattle and
American cattle, as TO quality. will
stand alike; the meat Of both will rank
superior to the meat from Argentina
ard command better price until such
time as Argentine cattle are "fed to
the market Nevertheless. It would
seem as II Argentine meat is to have
good sale in the United States, with
the effect of increasing Its value at
iloIllt.
This law OF trade will probably make
l.self felt much earlier in Canada. Our
aevices from points across the border
indicate that the Canadians are already
anticipating an increase In the price
Of meat as a result Of increased ship
ments Of Canadian meat into the
United States. A Canadian butcher 10

no doubt whatever that further de-
mand will soon be appadent and pro-
duce a marked increase in prices"
This increase will continue until such
time as a level shall be reached. When
it becomes more economical for Cam
ada to keep It's meat than to send it
across the line, and when 1t becomes
no more economical for the United
States to buy Canadian than to eat its
own meat, then, as would have hap
pened under reciprocity the two ma.
tions will be in exactly the same eala.

ton as II there were no political sep.

same country. The now Of all produce

and demand: the tariff. except thru
the period Of adjustment, will not af-
feet the operation Of this Law. The
law applies to Argentina as we'll az to
Canada. It applies to the whole civi-
lized world. and II the ideal In free
dom Of trade can be attained-or, rath-
er when 1t is attained-it will compel
such equality Of commercial inter-
course as will allow Of nothing short Of
equitabl distribution of commodities

Standard Bread Law,

To the Editor: In The Herald Of July
Z, 1913. 10 an article headed Haskell
Shows Wrapped Bread In Short Weight, "
in which you say:
At present there Is no law in effect in
the District requiring the bread to be
a specific weight. Some time ago such
. measure was in force. but was declared
unconstitutional Since that time, how
ever, the United States Supreme Court
has decided that bread Standardization
laws are valid. and. in view of the fact.
bill Is now being drafted by Col Has
kell for Introduction at the next session
Of Congress providing that each loaf
OF bread sold in the District shall weigh
sixteen ounces. At present the weight of
bre: fiuctuates between twelve and one
half and fifteen ounces. There are prac-
tically no sixteen-ounce loaves on the
market"
The fact that one of the courts of the
District Of Columbia declared unconstitu.
tional the law which you say formerly
was In force. does not vitiate such law,
or in any manner affect II, IL such decis-
lon was wrong. as II was, IL the Supreme
Court Of the United States decided other
wise you say it did, in the above
quoted paragraph.
Therefore the said law Ii In full force

H@skell should be drafting a new law

It is understood that the statement
showed a deficiency In reserve OF 0.1B.-
COO. 1t is also stated that the statement
of its condition published by the bank
In the Pittsburgh papers differed ms
terially from the sworn statement fur
nished the Comptroller Of the Currency.
Conferences with officials of the bank
were held, both in Pittsburgh and in
washington, following the receipt Of this
statement Last week Assistant Secre-
tary williams and Deputy Comptroller
Kane went to Pittsburgh to make per-
sonal examination into the situation.
Prior to the consolidation with the Sec
end National Bank, the First National
engaged the attention Of the Comptroller
of the Currency. Less than three years
ago the Comptroller required the bank
TO charge off from its books assets
amounting to nearly 100000, in which
little confidence was had by the Treas-
ury Department.
Oscar L. Telling, former chief of thu,
reports division of the Comptroller's Of
flee, was president of the First Natjonsl
when the merger was accomplished. He
then became vice president of the new
institution. Lawrence o. Murray, for
merly Comptroller of the Currency, had
practically resigned his Office, to take
the presidency of the First National two
years ago, when at the last minute he

ANSWER TO JAPANESE
SOON WILL BE ISSUED
Secretary Bryan Informs Baron Chinda
Delay Is Due to Consideration
of Supplemental Note.

The answer of the United States to
the second Japanese note of protest
against the California alien land law
will be ready for presentation to the
japanese government in a few days.
Secretary of State Bryan yesterday SO
informed Ambassador Chinda. This note
was delayed by the receipt of a supple
mentary note from the Japanese gov
eminent last week, containing arguments
which the japanese wished to have con-
sidered before the American reply was
presented.
Ambassador Chinda brought to the State
Department Soroku Ebara, member of the
House of Peers Of the Japanese Parlia-
ment, and head of the Japanese Y. NJ.
Z. A. Mr.. Ebara is in the United States
on a mission Identical with that OF other
noted Japanese now here, the sounding
out Of public sentiment in this country
in regard to the California legislation,
and also to promote a better FEELING be-
tween the peoples of the two countries.
Mr.. Bryan met his caller in Japan when
making his trip around the world, and
they became at that time good friends
Mr.. Ebara's talk with the Secretary was
confined to discussion of their previous
meeting and acquaintance.

Failures in Pittsburgh
Merely Sporadic" Cases,
Says Secretary McAdoo

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo yes
terday issued the following statement on
the closing of the First-Second National
Bank of Pittsburgh. Pa, and the First
National Bank of Mckeesport:
THE Acting Comptroller of the Cur
rency took charge of the First-Second
National Bank of Pittsburgh because its
directors. in a meeting held at Pittsburgh,
expressed their inability to make good an
impairment of its capital and decided
that the wise thing for all interests was
for the Acting Comptroller to take the
situation in hand. The Pittsburgh Clear
ing House Association. which has had
the matter under consideration for sew
eral days, had in the meantime also de-
cided that it was inexpedient to furnish
the amount of assistance required to keep
the bank going.
This bank, which was handed down
from the last administration. has for
some time been a sore spot in the local
situation. and its liquidation became in
evitable.
General Situation sound.
|"The Kuhns. of Pittsburgh. were inter-
ested in the First-Second Bank, and also
in the First National Bank of Mckees-
port. The latter also closed its doors as
. result Of the formers failure. The gen.
eral banking situation in Pittsburgh is
sound, and no further trouble with banks
is expected.
The Acting Comptrolled had no alter
native in the circumstances but to take
charge of the First-Second National
BSak, in order to prevent the withdrawal
Of large accounts, which already had be-
gun. and to secure for the small de-
positors equal treatment with the large
ones. Everything will be done by the
Acting Comptroller 10 further prompt
liquidation of the banks assets. SO that
the deposltors may be paid with the
least possible delay.
The recent reports of the national
banks to the Comptroller of the Currency
sho" sound and strong condition
throughout the country. The failure of
the Pittsburgh bank is sinply.a sparodic
case OF unsound banking and has no
6her significance"
Secretary McAdoo is represented at
Pittsburgh in connection with the clos
ing of the Kuhn banks by Assistant Sec
rotary of the Treasury Williams and
Deputy Comptroller Kane. Frequent re-
ports on the situation in Pittsburgb In
the last few days have been received
by Mr.. McAdoo. The latest report re-
eeived yesterday, indicates that one-tbird |
