fairs, From Viewpoint of
the Powers.

CETTINJE, April o3.-It is officially an
nounced here that the Montenegrin forces
have entered Scutari
Under the conditions providing for>the
surrender the Turkish garrison was
permitted to march out of the city with
it's arms
VIENNA, Austria, April 23.-The great
er part of the city of Scutari is in ruins
as result of the bombardment OF the
past six months. according to dispatches
received here today.
ROME. April 23.-The capture of Scu-
tari by the Montenegrin troops has caused
a great impression here. The success of
the Montepegrins has complicated the
situation, as Montenegro will undoubted-
ly refuse to evacuate the city. This will
make coercive measures by the European
powers more difficult than when they
abandon the siege.
Variance of the Views.
LONDON, April oa-while the capture
of Scutari by the Montenegrin troops is
believed in European capitals to have
complicated the situation created by the
decision Of the great powers to include
Scutari in the future state of Albania, the
opposite view is held in Balkan circles.
There the opinion prevails that the
Montenegrins, having accomplished the
object they have aimed at since the
beginning of the war, will find it more
easy to accept the decision Of the
great powers. and that the latter. on
the other hand, will be more ready to
grant her rectification OF he- frontier
which will satisfy her.
The long defense of Scutari under
ESsaad Pasha was made by an army
estimated at about 10000 men. who
also had to guard the outlying strong
hold OF Tarakosch and other connect
ing works surrounding the city. This
they did so well that the MOntenegrins
could not make any impression until a
few weeks ago, VIXEN their Servian
allies brought up a large number OF
heavy siege guns, which soon reduced
the fire of the Turkish artillery.
The MonteneSrins are said to have
lost 1900 killed and the Turks 5000
killed during the siege.
Blockade Question Undetermined.
Nothing has yet been decided as to the
continuance of the blockade OF the Mon
tenegrfn coast, which was Instituted on
account of the refusal OF the Montene-
grins to abandon the siege of Scutari at
the order of the powers. Only few days
ago an ultimatum was sent to King
Nicholas of Montenegro by the COM
mander of the blockading fleet informing
him that landing parties would be sent
ashore unless the wishes of the powers
were carried out. In the meantime the
Montenegrin army was continuing its
operations.
Most of the civilian population remained
in Scutari throughout the siege. The in
habitants included about 27,OU Moham-
medans and 5000 Christians. 1t was said
at various times that the people of
Scutari were in condition of semi
starvation, but it now appears that there
were considerable quantities of grain and
other stores within the city, and that
the people suffered most from lack Of
vegetables.

Keystone of Party Doctrine

They say that protection strong enough
to give American labor and American
manufacturers the best of it as against
foreigners is the keystone of their partv
doctrine. They declare they will go he
fore the country on this doctrine after
the new democratic tariff has had an act
ual try-Out.
They are anxious to have the demo-
Gratis go as far as they will in tariff low
ering-the lower the better for them. be-
lieying as they do that the lower if is
the more damage it will do, and that the
protectionists will be called back into
power to repair the havoc wrought.
They are very jealous. therefore. lest
Roosevelt should take their fetch awaya

Theory Absolutely Rejected.

THE statement is made that no part of
the committees work has been founded
upon a belief in the cost of production
theory, and the theory is absolutely re-
jected as guide to tariff making.
''The following are some of the reasons
why costs are not obtainable:
Il. Money expenses of production must
be ascertained from books designed to
show manufacturing costs. There is no
and many factories employ no cost-ac-
counting system. Cost figures obtained
without cost books are Of very little serv-
ice. Such figures obtained from sets of
books which are Kept in different ways
are Of equally little service. This is true
in the textile industries to a very great
extent, a condition admitted by the tariff
board throughout its report.
'2. Even II money costs could be actual
1y ascertained a comparative basis in
an unquestionable manner. they must be
secured not merely from one country but
from every competing country, SO that
the extent or scope Of competition against
which the United States must exert it
self may be known. 1t might very we'll
be that one country would have a low
money cost of production, but this would
be of little significance, as that country
could not indefinitely increase the amount
of it's production.
3. Even If The facts could be ascer-
tained in absolutely accurate form for all
competing foreign countries. the figures
would be of little service as a guide in
fixing tariff duties, because 1t would not
be known In any given case whether
such costs afforded the basis for fixing
prices. They do not invariably afford
such basis Wherever monopoly condi-
tions exist, wherever the export price sys-
tenn exists. and wherever patents are an
important factor in production the mere
ascertainment of the cost of production
Is of little Importance. 1t is far more
significant In such cases to know the
range Of actual selling prices over long
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-04-23
Cost Differences Unreliable.

Il Inasmuch as variations in money
cost of production have no particular sig
nificance unless they correspond to rela-
tive sacrifice of labor and capital, and in
asmuch as they do not SEQ correspond ex-
cept in countries whose price levels are
about the same. no safe conclusion can
be drawn from differences in cost regard
ing the extent to which country with
a low money cost will be able to under
sell or compete with country subject to
high money cost.
THE situation Is eXemplifed i'm the case
of railroad rates, where the constant ef-
fort is to fax the rate upon a reasonable
basis; yet this almost invariably results
in giving to the we'll built and efficiently
managed roads too large a margin Of
profit while 1t does not give sufficient
margin to those ercapitalized. badly
constructed, or inefficiently managed The
addition of a reasonable profit over and
above the difference in the cost of nro-
duction very greatly complicates the
problem and makes the impossible in
theory positively absurd in applicat ton"

take in the bull moose idea of cost of
production as but a part of their doc
trine, an incident of it and not the basis
They are for protection for protection $

Anxious Lest He Steal Party's

HAS ADVANTAGE IN THAT
HE CAN FLOP EITHER WAY
Administration Ridicules Bull Moose
Doctrine Of Schedules Based on
Difference in Production Cost.

How the bull moose party will fare
politically in the outcome of the economic
revolution wrought by tariff reduction to
a near-free trade basis is a serious ques-
ton to the old-line republicans in Congress
and the bull moose insurgents who were
once protectionists. The subject has been
frequently discussed in the past few
weeks among both factions and interest
in it is heightened by the publication of
the democratic doctrine of faith.
Some of the old-line republicans have
been anxious lest Roosevelt should seize
upon protection as an issue and thereby
deprive the old party of it's capital III
the expected struggle for party rehabili-
tation four years hence, if the democratic
tariff reduction works out according to
their dire ophesies-disastrously to the
country.
Thus far Roosevelt has not opened up
on the tariff question. Tariff never was
a long suit with him, however Even
when he was the titular head of the old
line republican party he consistently side
stepped the tariff His writings and state
papers show treatment of this subject
only in the most general fashion.
Now in Position of Vantage.
For that reason he is said to be now
in position of vantage because he is
free to jump in whichever direction best
suits his purpose. If the low democratic
tariff proves of benefit instead Of a curse
he can plant his banner at the head of
low tariff advocates and none can gain
say his claim that che saw it first
His party platform mildly indorses pro-
lection by insisting upon tariff boards to
determine the difference in cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad. the tariff to
be based upon rates thus ascertained,
which will protect the American work
ingman. But 1t is pronounced by stall
wart republicans to be but a cambria tea
kind Of protection doctrine at best and
not mans victuals for strong and hardy
protectionists
The new democratic doctrine ridicules
the bull moose tariff doctrine and utterly
hOuts it. This is what the report of the
ways and means committee says about
tariff based on the difference in the cost
OF production at home and abroad.
