perfected by Postmaster General Bure-
son, Rep. Lever, Senator Hoke Smith
and others. has the strong support of
several of the House conferees.
Foreign Policies Settled.
AS a result of the conference with
President Wilson, the committee also
settled finally, today, the foreign policies
involved in the tariff bill The most i'm
portant developments were:
Agreement on the 5 per cent. tariff re-
bate on goods brought in American-own-
ed ships, with provision that it should
not affect countries with which the Unit
ed states has treaties prohibiting such
discrimination.
Defeat of the retaliatory tariff pro-
vision of the Senate that would authorize
the President to assess extra tariff du-
ties on certain articles from countries
discriminating against the United States
Defeat of the anti-child labor provision
that would have excluded foreign goods
made by child labor. The House pro-
vision excluding convict-made goods was
retained
1t is understood these decisions met
with the approval of the President and
We're made only after their full effect
upon foreign relations had been consid-
cred The agreement to drop the retail
iatory section of the bill will make it
Unnecessary to pass any supplementary
legislation continuing existing trade re-
lations. The bill will retain the pro-
vision giving the President authority to
negotiate reciprocity treaties. as this
section has been endorsed by boIp
houses From seven to 10 countries would
be exempt from the discriminatory effect
of the provision designed to aid Ameri-
can shipping There is at present, how.
ever no treaty with Great Britain that
would prevent the giving of a per cent
rebate on British goods brought to this
country in American-owned ships. and
other important countries would be af-
fected
Other Amendments.
The conferees agreed to the amend
ments of the Senate removing restric.
tons on the manufacture of denatured
alcohol so that farmers will be able to
make this product The proposed free
listing of denatured alcohol was dropped.
