BRITISH STEELMAKERS
OBJECT TO FORDNEY BILL
Complain Tariff Measure Carries
"Prohibitive' Rates and Ask Sem
ate Committee for Relief.

British makers of high-speed steel
appealed to the Senate finance COM
mittee today to save them from what
they termed the "prohibitive" import
duties. carried in the Fordney tariff
bill. They pleaded for readjustment
of the rates. SO that they. as English
men. might be allowed ito live, to
work and to pay you what we owe
you"
The British representation was
made by Arthur Balfour, heading q
deputation from the Sheffield Cham
ber of Commerce. who pictured the
consequences to the business of his
homeland should the Fordney steel rates
be retained.
He said that the manufacturers
should like nothing better than to
see the present Underwood tariff rate
continue. but recognized that that
would be impossible.
We know" he added. that the
peace of the world depends on you
and US. We want to do nothing to
disturb. disrupt or destroy that har-
mony which has so long existed be-
tween our countries.
I'VE ask for no favoritism. We
never have dreamed of any retalia-
tory measures. We contemplate no
1hroat-cutting. All We ask is that
we be allowed to live. to work. and
to pay you what we owe you. And
the only way we can pay you is in
trade. in goods. That We are very.
very anxious to do"
