DENY DANGER OF

Senate Committee Hears TeSti-
mony of Steamship Agents
i'm Investigation. :.
SHIPS RETURN EMPTY
Immigrants Refuse Passage I'm

anteed in Advance. ....
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-Five wit
nesses testified before the senate inn
migration committee today that the
United States was in no danger Of a
FLOOD" of undesirable aliens and that
no emergency" existed TO justify the
suspension of present laws and adop
tion of the Johnson bill prohibiting i'm
migration for one year.
Four of the speakers were officials
of transatlantic steamship companies
who said their information was based
on an intimate touch with European
conditions and failed to indicate any
great increase in number of Europeans
desiring to emigrate to the United
States.
on the contrary, they said, there
was a diminution in the number of in
coming passengers which was causing
ships to sail with empty berths of the
third class
They credited the decrease in ar
rivals to the fact that unemployment
was known TO exist in the United
States and immigrants had refused to
come unless employment were assur-
ed.
The steamship agents testifying in
cluded Lawson Sandford, of the Amer
ican line; r. III. Farley, of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine company;
Sidney Il. Morse, secretary, Transat-
lantic Passenger conference, and Percy
Whatmough, of the Cunard company.
All declared it would be physically
impossible even with the use of ships
of all types to bring more than 995 900
immigrants to the United states in
1921. Mr.. Sandford said he did not
believe the vessels could bring more
than S15, 900.

WASHINGTON, Jan 12.-An Ameri-
can call for a world disarmament con-
ference would he welcomed by the great
powers OF Europe and would disclose
"the next Germany" should any nation
refuse TO agree to disarm. General Tasker
H. Bliss declared today before the house
naval committee.
The general gave to the committee the
impressions he had gained through dis
cussions of the subject with European
statesmen and soldiers while a member
OF the supreme war council and later
of the American peace commission. He
said there was an immediate and sin
cere desire overseas for disarmament,
but added that until definite agree
men had been reached he would not dis
arm one American soldier or lay UP
one American ship"
General Bliss also said that the United
States should complete her naval pro-
gram In this connection the committee
received from Secretary Daniels a fun
statement as TO the relative strength of
the world powers showing that of the
United States to be now midway between
that OF Great Britain and Japan. His
figures indicated, however. that with the
completion Of the present authorized con-
struction OF the three nations, the Amer
lean capitol ship would he as great as
that OF Great Britain, but with the ra-
ito over Japan slightly reduced.

new TARIFFLAW

UNDERWOOD ACT REVISED
European Countries Rush Goods

.justment of Rates.
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12.-Republican
leaders in congress propose to frame a
workable permanent tariff law despite
the chaotic foreign exchange situation
and the uncertainties of foreign labor
conditions Chairman Fordney of the
house ways and means committee de-
clared today during discussion of a re-
vision of the Underwood act.
Witnesses before the committee called
attention to what they described as a
concentrated effort on the part of Eu-
ropeans, especially English and German.
to rush their products to America as a
means of Fastening a readjustment of
adverse exchange rates. The statements
brought from Representative Garner.
Democrat. Texas, a question as to
whether it were possible to draft a law
which would meet future conditions, as
suming exchange rates would be re-
stored to an equilibrium within a year
or more
'I think it will be impossible" FL. T..
Henry, a Geneva. New York manufac-
turer, replied ''to draft a tariff that will
be workable under the present condi-
tions. Future readjustments cannot be
forecast and rates that may be good now
will serve no purpose later on
You spoke a parable then said Mr..
Garner. 'but our Republican friends in
sist that we should go ahead. They viii
attempt the impossible
Mr.. Gamers statement was cut short
by Mr.. Fosdney, who interjected: I'VE
stand on our decoration. 1t is our plan
to frame new tariff and we are going
to do it. The exchange situation. of
course, presents difficulties, but we
think those can be surmounted."
The colloquy ended, Mr.. Fordney asked
the witness concerning rates, needed to
block imports from Europe. Mr.. Henry
answered that none of the firms in his
trade had been able to compute the rates
because of the constant changes in ex-
change, He added that none in America
could foretelI what the European labor
market of the future would be or wheth-
er the foreign cost of production would
continue to decrease, as is now indicat-
ed
Throughout the day, stream of wit
nesses required higher tariff rates but
few We're able to suggest specific duties
for the reasons mentioned by Mr.. Henry.
AS rule they suggested only revival
of the Payne-Aldrich tariff schedules
which. they said, ought to shield them
from ''the ever-increasing dumping of
European manufacturers on markets of
the United States"

is costing the government a vast
amount of money, the house commit
tee investigating the boards opera
tions was informed today by C. r.

the materials needed in many in
stances are piled in its own ware
houses.

age" he added. IAN immense saving
could be effected"
the shipping boards division of supply
titled later and agreed that conditions
are not satisfactory. The latter add
ed that inventories had been begun to
ascertain the exact contents of all
shipping board warehouses
Both witnesses advocated sales of
all materials not needed by the divis-
ions of construction and operation,
which they said, would enable the
board to eliminate the overhead of re-
tail sales. Miller also estimated that
the number of employees in his divis-
ion thereby could be reduced from
1,400 to %, and an annual overhead of
at least s3.ooo.0O0 in his department
eliminated
Sales, the investigating committee
was told, will have 20 be made at 4
tremendous sacrifice as there is prac-
ticaIly no demand for the surplus sup
plies. many of which are obsolete in
design.
