Washington, September 2s-An indica. tion of what the administration is plan. ming to do for the protection of American industries built up a result of the Flu ropean war is given in an open letter by Secretary of Commerce Redfeld to Dr E. E. Pratt. chief of the bureau of for eign and domestic commerce, made pub lie today.
 It is made clear that the government will protect the new American industries from flood of European competition at the close of the war, but the letter also shows that MT. Redfleld intends to avoid, 50 far as possible. any proposals for tarifr revision.
 The letter follows numerous confer ences on plans for, dealing with the sit ustion expected to follow the war. The bureau of foreign and domestic com merce and the federal trade commission have inaugurated a detailed investigi. tion. This inquiry will cover the opera ton of the laws of various countries winch prohibit dumping any product at a price less than the cost of production.

 The Louisville and Nashville rail- road would be subject to hundreds of suits to recover the penalties pre- scribed by law for charging a greater rate than that authorized or approved by the railroad commission and such suits involving millions of dollars In claims. penalties and forfeitures would clog the courts of the state and take up the time of the officers of the law and the people.
 Such suits would inevitably bring about feeling of unrest and un- friendliness between shippers and not only the Louisville and Nashville Rail- road company, but also all other car- rfers entering this great industrial dis trict and such feeling, brought about by the controversy and dispute and liti- gation between the shippers and the carriers and by hundreds of criminal prosecutions by the state would impair the efficiency of such public service corporations, retard their growth, de- crease their benefit to the public and cause them to spend thousands of dollars in the preparation and defense of suits and prosecutions which might otherwise be expended beneficially both to the carrier and to the public"
