American Valuation Association
BIames Present Tariff Law.
Washington.-A claim was made
here by the American Valuation Asso-
citation that q loss Of 00,000,000 to
$500, 0,000, 900 per year is suffered in the
revenues of the Treasury Department
because of the present foreign valua-
uon clause of the Tariff law. The Val
uation Association insists that its data
on imports reveals such serious losses
that Leslie M. Shaw, a former Secre-
tary of the Treasury, bears out its
claims against the unproductiveness
Of foreign valuation. The association
asserts that the money annually lost
to the Treasury is going to foreign
manufacturers and importers and
serves to stimulate the volume of low
cost commodities and products COM
ing into the United States. 1t is argued
that the American Valuation law pro-
posed in Congress is in the interest Of
the American market during the
period Of readjustment and reconstruc-
ton.
