ALL TARIFFS
To Be REVISED
AF TER THE WAR
UNITED STATES TARIFF SHOULD
BE GIVEN BARGAINING PRoVlS-
IONS, SAYS WILLARD STRAIGHT
AT PITTSBURGH.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. 25.-A plea
that the United States tariff system,
whatever its underlying principle,
should be given certain bargaining
provisions whereby American foreign
trade may be encouraged and protect
ed from discrimination, was made by
Willard Straight, vice president of the
American International Corporation in
an address before the national for
eign trade convention here today,
The tariff systems of the entire
world will be revised after the war
to meet new conditions, he said, with
a tendency among the many belliger-
ent nations to greatly increase duties
in order to pay interest on their war
debts. II European groupings Of ma
tions proposed to utilize bargaining
tariffs, it was essential, said Mr.
Straight that the United States
should be in a position to protect it
self. He said:
at has been stated that every eff
fort would be made to continue past
commercial relations with the neutral
nations. Will the maintenance OF
such relations, however, be made con
tingent upon the willingness of neu
trails to discriminate against German
trade? The best method of avoiding
such a dilemma is to realize that il
may arise. If this or other equally diff
ficult situations are possible, should
we not now consider measures which
will render them improbable?
THE trend of economic policies in
Europe is manifest. The need fol
maintaining our export trade is OBJ
vious. The United States will be the
richest market in the world after the
war. The United States will be the
most serious competitor which Euro
pean industry will be obliged to NEE
in its campaign for recouping the
losses of the present struggle. Thi'
war has demonstrated the fact whicl
some of us in this country have here
tofore been disposed to ignore-tha
! international trade, like domesti,
trade, is essentially an exchange o
commodities. We cannot hope that W,
shall continue to sell some 100000
900 of dollars more of goods than W,
buy. Commercial relationships to b.
permanent must be mutually adyan
tageous. If we wish to sell our good
abroad, we must in turn purchase fron
foreign producers. Our purchasing
power, therefore, is our first line o
economic defense. To utilize it a
such we must be able intelligently t
regulate the importation into thi
country OF goods which other nation
desire to sell us. BY so doing, W
may demonstrate the advantage
which they may gain by purchasin
articles which is, in turn, desire t
export. We need a bargaining tarif
A bargaining tariff to be effectiv
should be flexible. 1t should be po.
sible to apply its provisions to NEE
situations as they arise. our prescn
tariff laws are inadequate from bot
points of view Whatever the under
lying principle of the American tarit
system it should possess adequate rC
sources for the encouragement of III
soreien trade of the United States an
its protection from discriminate
abroad"

n SEIZE FOREIGN SHIPS
 BUILDING IN Us. YARDS
To Take Over for War Service 100000
 Tons Shipping

Washington, April 21.-For war service at sea, the government to- day empowered the shipping board to seize foreign vessels now build ing in American shipyards, the tonnage of which totals 100000. Norway will be the most affected.
 Further naval strength will be given through German vessels that have been seized in American ports. Nine ra these ships, the govern meut POW plans, will be repair ed and ready for service within this- ty days.
 Ever possible effort is being put forth to have an effective naval strength against any attacks that Germany may make on Amercan shippiu.. and to have this force as quickly as possible.
 Reu1iIs to the German vessels seized in United States ports, are necessary because Of the damage duuo them by the German crews just before the break in diplomatic relations with Germany and in the interim between that date and the removal Of the crews when war was declared.

36.0OO GERMANS ABE CAPTURED
 BY ALLIES
British and French Drive Ahead and Seize Big Quantities
 Enemy's Guns

London, April 21. --Thirty-six thousand Germans have been cap tured and 500 guns have been talk en by tLe allies since the drive on
 he Arras front was started April g, according to the official report Issued here.
 Both British and French soldiers are pressing steadily ahead. Not only are he Germans being forced } ok, but their retirement is being accompanied with heavy loss bot in the number killed and captured and the loss of artillery.
 Even in the face of reports of the enemy's supply of guns and ammunition, 1t is believed that the loss they have been sustaining must b severely felt. M any of the 500 "uns caotured are said to be of large caliber.
 Drive Irresistible
 With the continued successes of the allies, the belief is steadily growing that the drive will prove irresistible. What was reported to be the impregnable Hindenberg line on which the Germans would fal! back when they retired from the first line trenches, has SO far proved inadequate against the al- lied attacks, made under curtains Of the heaviest artillery fire ever accomplished in warfare.
 The French are reported to be making gains in the region of Laffaux today and in the vicinity of Lens both British and French forces are engaged with the enemy in a great artillery duel.
 Shells from the allies guns are being dropped into the German trenches in an internal hail, in preparation for the infantry charges 10 follow
 On the southern French front, a great battle is raging and the French are driving the Germans back in the Champagne district, north O the Aisne and in the Ar gcnne forest.

Under the leadership of some of the more radical men among them, a big part of the workers refused to work this morning. The strike quickly assumed threatening propor- tions and soon rioting had com- menced. rHI |
 The report from Holland says that fires were started in several sections of the town, in an effort to destroy all the intuition plants.
 The authorities were helpless with their local police and the sol diers were ordered out. A big detachment of the troops came up at double quick and opened fire on the rioters.
 Strikers Slaughtered
 Massed. together and unOrganiz- ed, the strikers were shot down in frightful numbers before they were dispersed and driven to shelter.
 They are now said to be secure Iy lodged in buildings and houses, where they are well protected from gun fire and from which the sol diers have as yet been unahlo to dislodge them.
 The reported intuition workers strike Is the most serious disturb ance wlicb has so far occurred in Germany, and, following closely upon reported food riots in other towns is looked upon here as hay ing a tremendous bearing on the real attitude of the German people toward the war and the present German internal situation.
