WANTS THE TARIFF
ARRANGED To HELP
INDUSTRIES OF us.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. ga 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 pro-
tected from discrimination, was made
/ by Willard Straight, vice president
the American International corpora
ton in an address before the National
Foreign Trade convention here today.
The tariff system of the entire world
will be revised after the war to meet
new conditions, he said, with tend
ency among the many belligerent ma
tons to greatly increase duties in
order to pay interest on their war
debts. If 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 itself. He
said:
at has been stated that every effort
would be made to continue past COM
mercial relations with the neutral
nations. viii the maintenance of
such relations, however, be babe 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 1t
may arise. If this or other equally
difficult situations are possible,
should we not now consider measures
which will render them impossible?
THE trend of economic politics in
Europe is manifest. The need for
maintaining our export trade is obv-
ious. 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 meet
in its campaign for recouping the
losses of the present struggle. This
war has demonstrated the fact which
some of us in this country have here
togore been disposed to ignore-that
international trade, like domestic
trade, is essentially an exchange OF
commodities. We cannot hope that
we shall continue to sell some $780,
100000 of dollars more of goods than
we buy. Commercial relationships to
be permanent must be mutually ad'
vantageous. If we wish to sell our
goods abroad, we must in turn pur-
chase from foreign producers. Our
purchasing power, therefore, is our
first line of economic defense. To util.
ize it as such we must be able intel
ligentIy to regulate the importation
iyto this country of goods which otli-
er nations desire to sell us. BY so do
ing we may demonstrate the advant-
ages which they may gain by purcE-
asing articles which is, in turn desii
ed to export. We need a bargain tar
if. A bargaining tariff to be effective
should be flexible. 1t should be pos
sible to apply it's provisions to meet
situations as they arise. Our present
tariff laws are inadequate from both
points of view. Whatever the under
lying principle of the American tariff
system it should possess adequate re-
sources for the encouragement of the
foreign trade of the United States and
it's protection from discrimination
abroad"

CALL IS ISSUED TO
BANKERS FOR HELP
IN FORE|SN TRADE

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 25.-A call
to the farmers to interest themselves
in foreign trade was made by B. F.
Harris, banker of Champaign, ILL.,.
and member of the National Foreign
Trade Council, at the annual conven-
ton of the organization here today.
Describing himself as corn belt
farmer" Mr.. Harris offered "Transpor-
tation, Trade, and Thrift, as trinity
of rs under whose sign farmers, man
ufacturers, producers and consumers,
labor and capital, town and country,
will conquer"
Declaring that 1--WE farmers are econ
omic illiterates in production and dis
tribution," he said: For fifty years
the farmer has been feeding the peo-
pie of the United States at less than
the cost of production, throwing in
His and his children's and the nations
t;rthright of soil fertility.
He is the solitary producer who has
no voice, and though properly rebelli-
Gus, has in no successfully organized
or concerted manner sought voice in
the pricing of his products, and those
who set the prices for him know little
and care less as to the actual cost of
production. nor of the wastes that lie
between.
High prices do not represent the
farmers greed for he is almost an
innocent by-stander, buffeted by saes-
ems and market-makers his sphere of
what the consumer pays sometimes
locking like 80 cents and not in
frequently he works IS hours to pro-
vide food for the S-hour fellows. He
is not a tradesman and cooperative
plans with government help in stabil-
iZing market situations is required"
Farmers Want More Shipping.
The farmer has pTofted and Is
proiting by the great war export bust
ness more than anyone, said Mr.. Har-
ris, but has done so without having
taken any heed to foreign trade prob
| lens, simply allowing the foreign COLI
sumer to come and take away grains,
cotton, fruits, dairy products, and
MANY other articles in his own ships.
The farmer was now coming to realize
how much he and all have been at the
mercy of foreign shipping and land
| locked and lubber though he be- the
| American farmer was becoming as
I anxious as any good American to see
the Stars and Stripes in every port of
the world, not simply because it would
lie carrying some of his products and
be ready to respond as auxiliary to a
great American navy, but his vision is
widening and he wants all the world
to realize and be girdled by the spirit
of American ideals and her industry"
Mr.. Harris spoke also of the tariff,
and said: I'VE must drop the old bug
bear of high or low, protection, or rev.
enue only and-in connection with the
Department of Commerce. Tariff Com
mission, Federal Trade Commission,
Shipping Board and Consular Depart
ment-think of it as a great business
getting and nation developing organ
ization of Americans for America"

This map shows the principal points
in the region between Riga captured
by the Germans, and Petrograd, cap
ital of Russia. The distance is BIZ
miles. Berlin newspapers assert that
Riga is German, having been found
ed by merchants of Bremen about
the thirteenth century,, and always
preserved it's German character,
though only two-fifths of it's popula-
tion are German. Most of the rest
are Lithuanians and Esthonians, the
Russians forming only a very small
colony.
The Berlin Deutsche Tageszeitung
asserts that the fall of Riga must
convince the Germans that they are
victorious, and that this great prize
will not be given up at a green table.
economically, it says, Riga is import
ant as a busy port and a f1ourishing
industrial town, but strategically is
even more important, as it turns the

GENERAL ELECTRIC

Depression in Market Partly OFF,
set by Rise Near Close

Wall Street-Heavy selling iof gen.
eral Electric, Bethlehem Steel and
Pullman, with further liquidation in
New York Central and American Tel
ephone, caused sharp reaction in
the stock markets later dealings to-
day after an initial rise.
General Electric was off 8, Bethle-
hem Steel 4, Telephone 2, apd
other issues lost from half point to
a point. The selling of General Elec-
trio and Pullman came at time
when the market was showing an ad-
vancing tendency and the lack of ex-
PLANTATION for this liquidation offset all
other cosiderations SO that the bears
had matters their own way when once
more they attacked prices. In the
final dealings supporting orders were
distributed and the market rebound
ed strongly all around. The close
was firm. Liberty bonds were quoted
at 1884 to 1922.

among weak holders of margined

used as a means for depressing the
stock market. Security values now
are at a point which should attract
renewed investment buying. It is true
that the future is still full of uncer-
tainties. Should the war last another
year, as many believe, the present
rate of expenditures by our govern
ment, which has not only its own OBJ
erations to finance, but those of the
Allies, may act as further depress-
ing factor. On the other hand, there

Congress may soon adjourn. The
country is sound financially and COM
mercially. We are sure of the most
prosperous year in agriculture that
we have ever experienced. The same
is equally true of all the chief in
dustries. Wages are high and farm
ers and working men are, likely to be
free spenders. This means an active
consumption demand for many lines
of merchandise. Transportation prob
lens are less acute than a year ago.
New tonnage is being turned out at Il
tremendous rate by Great Britain and
the. United States and other nations,
which means that there will be less
difficulty in transporting foor anr mu-
nitions across the Atlantic than has
been the case in the last six moths.
AS aresult exports will continue right
on food shipments now in force and
which has caused q setback in our
foreign trade. Our railroad problem
is also less acute than was the case
three or four months ago. Big traffic
during the next three or four months
is a practical certainty. For the sew
en- months ending with July, 106 of
the larger railroads, according to the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
had total revenues Of 1920, 681, 900,
an increase of more than $13S, 900, 900
from the corresponding revenues of
1915. The net revenue during the
same period was 1858, 900, 900, COM
pared with $36O.00O.000 year ago.
Better results should appear during
the closing months of the year, as
traffic is heavier. Some concessions
have been made to the roadss and net
returns should correspondingly i'm
prove, especially as the shortage in
cars is being largely compensated for
