WEEKS PLEADS FOR
PROTECTIVE TARIFF
Senator Says Revision Upward Is
Sure Way to Prevent
Dumping"

Senator John w. Weeks. Of Massachu.
setts, who Is actively In the race for the
Republican nomination for Rsesident. an.
nounced yesterday that the preventive OF
the threatened dumping Of foreign-made
goods on the United States market al
the close of the war In Europe lies In q
revision of the tariff upward and 'ths
fixing of duties high enough to protect
the industries that may be threatened by
the invasion of the home market. He
has little faith. apparently. in the plans
suggested by administration leaders for
a special "anti-dumping'' amendment to
the d-Simmons tariff act.
In "a letter received here from Senator
Weeks he says:
There is only one practicable. sensible
way in which to meet the dumping
menace at the close OF the war. and that
is by restoring a protective tariff to the
vast variety Of American manufacturers
which would be affected by this threaten
ing situation. Such a step upon the part
of Congress would have the two-fold
merit of keeping out this surplusage Of
foreign-made goods, thereby maintaining
an even market and an even wage scale
for the factory employees, and Of Great
ing a further source of additional reve-
nue., a consideration that should make a
very general appeal Just at this time
when such pressing demands are being
made upon our financial resources.
when the war Is over European goods
vii flow into this country at such a rate
that our manufacturing plants Will be
materially embarrassed. Foreign labor
will be more willing to work at even less
wages than ever before, and as q result
not only will the manufacturer suffer
but the thousands Of employees In this
country will feel the effects OF the I'm
derwood- Simmons free trade law. unless
something is done to prevent this over
flow of manufactures being dumped upon
our shores. I sincerely trust that the
Democratic leaders. who are now repre-
scented as favoring a restoration or the
sugar tariff, will take an equally grace
full attitude with regard to the tarin on
other American MANUFACTURES instead OF
seeking some roundabout way Of meeting
the situation In order to save their own
discredited theories concerning the coun
try's economical needs"
