The men against whom the evidence
was produced we're the Ave originally
arrested for the kidnapping alone, be-
fore the murder. They were John Mil
chionne, Roberto Raffaele, Ant 1nio

The charge of murder is based on
the fact that the parents OF the kid

Industrial Leaders Contem-

ROME, Feb. 6.-Industrial lead

scheme attributed to Hugh SHINES
aiming at control Of the Italian
metal industry, by encoura Ging So
cialist campaigns against the lead
ing steel industrialists while the
German group maneuvers to acquire
majority Of shares in their con-
Germs. The result foreseen is that
the works gradually would BE-
closed down while the Italian mar

steel.
Suspicion is entertained that the
German industrialists are exploit

discriminating the price OF repara-

is sent by railroad when it is priced
at the internal German cost. or by

that SHINES aims to hamper the

Inc country Is now Witnessing
form of Congressional economy
which it seems the people will hard
ly be willing to countenance. The
House has voted. to include in this
years appropriations the sum of
$3.50, 900 for free seeds, an increase
of 800. 900 over this item for the
previous year. This has been done
in spite of the protests of the Sec
retary of Agriculture. who again
and again has pointed out the use
lessness of this activity and has
pleaded to have this sum devoted
to one of the crying needs of the
department.
At the same time that they are
doing this they report heavy cuts
in the appropriation for the Bu-
reau of Standards, the Bureau nt
Foreign and Domestic Commerce,
and in the Consular Service OF the
State Department. The minor saw
ings effected at the expense of these
and other departments which are
of such vital Importance to bust
ness interests will, If past expert
ence prove true, be wasted many
times in other expenditures similar
to the free seed item.
The cost of what may be termed
the civil functions of the govern
ment form such a small portion of
the total annual budget that the
minor savings made at the expense
OF salaries have practically no ef-
feet upon the total budget. That
this is true is shown by the accom-
panying diagram. taken from a de-
tailed study of government expendi-
lures for the last ten years by DR..
E. B. Rosa, OF the Bureau of Stand
ardE: a.
This figure gives the net average
expenditures Of the Federal gov
eminent exclusive of the war cost
during the period 1910 to 1919. The
average yearly total expenditure is
1861, ,54S,S70, of which only SELL
337,2SS or 80 per cent went to the
support OF civil activities. The total
average expenditure for research
education and development was only
S27,S3S,313, or AZ per cent of the
total. Yet it is in this relatively
small item that the House of Repre-
sentatives proposes to make drastic
cuts.
Last year Congress reduced the
appropriation for the Department of
Agriculture by s2,1S5.OOO, and as a
result over sixty important lines of
work had to be either abandoned
or very severely curtailed.
In the consideration TO the ap-
preparation bills for the year 1921-22
the House has eliminated some
SS35,7OO from the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bills. Two
| hundred and fifty thousand dollars
have been cut from the amount
sought for consular post allowances.
No provision is made for increased
salaries. Yet expenses at foreign
posts have increased enormously.
AS a result, thirty-four highly
trained men holding positions OF
consular generals. vice consuls, etc,
have resigned since February, 1919.

That they have made a good be-

five months of 1920 amounted to

with 1O057, 100000 marks for the

export figures include goods deliv-
cred to the Allies under the treaty
of peace, and also that from the

an enormous volume of goods was

National Foreign Trade Council
OfN. Y. City Recommends Equal
Treatment as Tariff Policy of u. S.

tition located anywhere within the
British empire.
The administration of the French
tariff has resulted in discrimination
against American fountain pens,
canned salmon. fresh or refrigerated
meat, petroleum; and against many
American products when imported
into France by way OF another Eu-
ropean country.
Administrative regulations in
South American tariffs quite gen
orally are a detriment to American
canned fruit, vegetables and pre-
serves.
The specific suggestions Of Ma
tional Foreign Trade Council for
the next tariff are as follows:
In order to obtain the desired
fiexibility, Congress should declare
in general terms the policy by
which this country is to meet dis
criminatory or unequal treatment of
American products by other coun-
tries. Under this policy, the Presr-
dent should be given power, upon
the certification to him by the Tariff
Commission, or such other agency
as Congress may prescribe. either
to grant concessions for favorable
treatment of American products or
to impose penalties for discrimina-
ton against or unequal treatment
of American products, such conces-
sions or penalties to be within
limits fxed by Congress.
Have defined this policy in gen.
eral terms, and having specified the
limits within which penalties shall
be inflicted andior concessions
be granted, Congress should leave
to the President the application of
the law in particular cases. The
necessary f1exibility cannot be OBJ
tanned unless the President has the
power, at his discretion and without
further action by Congress, to pro-
claim whatever penalties andIor
concessions these circumstances
may require within the limits au-
thorized by the law. In many cases
the mere possibility OF the imposi-
ton of maximum or penalty duties
will tend to secure equality of
treatment for the United States and
its products without formal action.
When agreements within the provi-
sions of the law are entered into,

The Washington herald., 1921-02-07

The tariff policy of the United
States should be based on the prin-
ciple that only countries granting
our products the same treatment
granted similar products imported
from other countries, are entitled to
equal treatment in our markets, says
memorandum issued by the Ma
tional Foreign Trade Council of
New York City in regard to the need
for a bargaining provision in the
next tariff law.
Experience has shown that such
equality of treatment can never be
secured by the United States with
out provisions in our tariff which
will discourage discrimination by
foreign countries against American
products.
Discrimination may be prevented
either by levying additional penalty
duties on goods coming from coun-
tries which discriminate against
American exports; or by granting
conCessionary reductions of duty on
goods coming from countries which
do not discriminate against US; or
by combination OF both policies.
Whatever the underlying principle
of our new tariff act, provision
should be made to prevent discrimi-
nation against American exports in
foreign markets.
Such a measure involves neither
the policy of free trade nor the pol
icy of protection. Upon it all shades
Of tariff opinion may unite. 1t is an
essential part of an economically
sound foreign trade policy.
1t is not beyond the bounds of
probability that foreign countries
will attempt to discriminate against
American goods in the future Ger
tain provisions of the Jones ship
ping law are regarded by ship own
ing nations as discriminatory; pro-
hibition is considered discrimina-
ton by wine-producing countries
and the laying of an agricultural
tariff or embargo by the United
States may we'll invite retaliation.
