TARIFF REVISION IN ORDER.

Washington, Dec. 27.-The an.
nouncement that the Ways and
Means Committee will begin tariff
hearings January 9th is proof that
the Republicans are speedily mobiliz-
ing for Reconstruction, declares the
Republican Publicity association,
through its president, Hon. Jonathan
Bourne, Jr.
"Of our nearly $4,700,000,000
worth of imports for the ten months
of the current year ended October
81, foodstuffs accounted for 81 per
cent or S1,602,000,000, and manu-
factured goods made up 81 per cent
or $1,461 100000. For the same
period of 1919, with imports total
ing $500, 100000, foodstuffs totaled
100000, and manufactures
$844, 100000. Compared with the
1919 period the ten months of 1920
shows an increase of $1,000, 900
in total imports, 100000 in
foodstuffs, and $617, 100000 in
manufactures. 1t is interesting to
note that the increase in total i'm
ports, tha 1920 over the 1919 period,
is greater by $140,000,000 than the
grand total of imports for the ten
months ended October 81, 1913, un-
der the protective tariff policy. Our
total imports for the 1913 period
were 81 AGO, 100000
"Another interesting point to note
is that while the imports for the
1913 period paid $26S,000,000 into
the federal treasury by way of Gus
toms duties, the imports for the 1920
period, more than three times as
great, paid in customs duties not
more than $20,000,000 in excess of
the 1913 collections, Or, to express it
in simple proportion, 81 AGO, 900
is to $268,O00,000 as $4,700,00O 900
is to $2SS,000,O This indicates
the hopeless failure of the Demo-
cratic tariff policy in the matter of
raising revenues. Foodstuffs imports
today are nearly five times what they
were before the war, in point of
value, while imports of manufactures
have been multiplied by nearly two
and one-half. But outside of the
foreign producer and the importer
none of us appears to have profted
by this condition of affairs.
"The situation points unerringly to
the necessity of restoration of the
protective policy just as soon as Con-
gress can assemble it's data, draft a
proper program, and present it to
Warren G.. Harding for signature.
In 1908 the tariff issue was the lead
ing issue of the campaign which
ended in the election of Mr.. Taft.
The Republican party, realizing the
necessity for speedy tariff revision,
began a preliminary survey in the
summer of that year. On November
1908, Immediately following the

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, Dec 31.-Through To-
cation of the parents of 445 members
of the Russian Children's Colony, the
number remaining under the care of
the American Red Cross at Halila,
Finland, has been reduced to 1856, ac-
cording to cable advices received at
national headquarters of the Red
Cross. T
The cable states that 418 children
have been delivered at the Russian
border, while 13 have been placed
with their parents in Esthonia, nine
in Latvia and'on in Finland.
A third train load of the children
was recently dispatched to the Rus
sian border in direct response to ap-
peals from parents who had learned
of the arrival of the colony at Halila
after their long journey more than
three-fourths of the way around the
globe under the care of the A-nerican
Red Cross, whose charges these chile
dren have been for nearly three
years, Since their departure from
Petrograd during the revolt.
Search for the parents of these
children, which has been conducted
by the American Red Cross with the
aid of many other agencies through
out Europe, has convinced officials
that the majority of the parents of
the children are still in Petrograd and
that others can be located in Russia
near the capital.
