VIEWS DIFFER
ON PROVISION

Appear Before Senate.

WASHINGTON, July 25. - Dis
agreement of experts as to the prac-
ucability of American valuation pro-
visions proposed in the Fordney tar
iff bill. marked the first considera-
ton given the measure Monday by
the senate finance committee. The
committee heard statements by
Thomas Walker Page, chairman,
and William Burgess. a member of
the tariff commission, but their views
differed as TO what effect the sug-
gested basis of levying import du-
ties would have on the manufac-
turer and merchant.
Mr.. Page contended the new plan
meant higher prices on American
commodities which compete with i'm
ports subjected to the import tax
while his colleague on the commits
sion held that pyramiding of prices
was no more likely to result under
the home value basis than under the
present system of pressing duties on
the foreign value.

Mr.. Burgess told the committee
there was no other method by which

in the conference IS assured, the
American government would have
no objection 10 an interchange Of
views as 10 what questions should
be considered properly within the

ent the point emphasized in the
American attitude is that this eX-
change could better take place after

tended and accepted even though 1t
preceded the actual assembling of
I the delegates.
