Japan, says quarter of miluon dollars worth of Japanese hddes were bought by the United States in 19l9 this country taking the great bulk of the product of this new industry, built up in Japan since the World war broke up Germany's business.
 Three factories In Nagoya produce all the violins made in Japan. They were founded by Masakicki Suzuki. who made his first fiddle. Consul Hawley says. in lSSS, using as a model "a foreign in strument brought to Nagoya as curl osity." The enterprise had total pro- duct of musical instruments in 1914 valued at $24,4l9, but had spread out to three fac- tories. employing HOO people. in 1919 when the output reached $539, 400, of which SS9S, ,491 went in export the United states taking 6S per cent. The first six months of 1920 saw the plants develop a business aggregating $S04, ,143. Germanys former place as fiddle maker at large to the world has been captured, the consul indi- cates, and adds:

Otherwise, under conditions like the present. no tariff rate could De imposed which would protect this country against some nations without placing an unbearable burden on those countries where the rates of exchange are nearly normal
 MUST CONSIDER MARKETS
 "Our first purpose in the past and now has been to provide for our own needs and revenue and protection. but in framing a new tariff law, we must give some consideration, if for no otn- CT than the most selfish reasons, to cur markets To impose a greater duty than the ordinary difference in the cost of production would mean de> stroying the possibility of European markets, especially where the rate or exchange is such that they cannot pur- chase under the greatest stress"
 Taking up reorganization of govern ment departments the secretary as serted that during the recent enormous expansion of government, activities no attention had been paid to the proper distribution of those activities among the departments with the result tnal there is an expensive and inefficient hodge podge. He advocated an entire regrouping of the minor divisions of the various departments and urged drastic reduction in the number of fed eral employees and consistent increase in the salaries of those retained.

r BILLIONS MUST BE RAISED WITHIN
 NEXT 3O MONTHS
Greatest Task Ever Under Taken By Any Nation In Time of Peace, Declares
 Secretary Weeks

Pittsburg, Pa., March 19.-Some- thing like seventeen billions of dollars must be provided by the federal gov ernment within the next 30 months to meet it's running expenses and re- funding operations, Secretary Weeks, of the war department, declared to- night in an address before the Pitts burg Chamber of Commerce.
 This" said the secretary, lis an infinitely greater task than was ever undertaken by any nation in the world in time of peace, and there is no one, skilled in financial operations though he may be- who does not view the prospect with more or less alarm. With this situation facing us it is the height of folly to undertake new commit ments if they can be avoided and as- sume that no one will dissent from that proposition"
 |. The war secretary discussed economy in government operations, reorganiza- ton of federal activities in Washing ton, taxation and the tariff. He urged repeal of the excess profits tax, de- claring that in a period of failing prices it was not an effective tax as probably would be shown when the re- turns for this year were published. He said there were innumerable instances where concerns which made large prof i;s in 1913, paying tax on these prof it's. lost so much during 1920 that on thc first of January. 1921, their re- sources were less than they were the first of January, 1919.
 TARIFF CHANGE VITAL
 Turning to the tariff MT. Weeks said the country had reached a point where it must make a radical change in it's tariff system. New problems associated with rates of exchange growing out of the war. made the tar if more complicated question than usual, lie said adding mat it would seeio tc him that the amount Of reve nue which should be produced from importatnons would be between $50O, O00,00Q and $600,000,000 a year.

of Anti-SaIOon League.

BALTIMORE, Feb. l6.-On the
ground that there docs. not exist in
Maryland an emergency" that would
justify calling an extra session OF
the legislature, Governor Richie, in
a letter to George w. Crabbe, super
intendent of the Anti-saloon League
yesterday formally refused the re-

THE GOVERNORS LETTER.
The governors letter follows:
| received your favor OF February

session of the Maryland Legisla-
ture, the purpose for which you ask
this being that Maryland take its
stand in favor OF law and order"
In my judgment there does not
exist in Maryland an emergency
such as the constitution ccntem-
plates, which would justify me in
calling at this time another extra
session OF the legislature.
The actual situation In Maryland
is this;
Under a ruling OF Attorney Cen
eral Armstrong. the State liquor
license laws are still in force, and
the police authorities are charged
with the duty OF enforcing them,
which / am advised they are doing
as far as possible. AS a practical
matter. this makes the sale OF In
toxicating liquor illegal under the
State laws.
Mr.. Armstrong having ruled that
there is no obligation on the po-
lice to enforce the Volstead act.
the police do not take the initia-
tive in enforcing the anti-trans-
portation provision OF that act, but
the police department does hold it.

the Federal authorities for the
purpose of acting and cooperating
with them in enforcing not only
the anti-transportation provisions
but all other provisions of the
Volstead act whenever asked by
the Federal authorities to do so.
which is quite constantly.
BOOTLEGGING ON DECREASE.
Ny advices are that the bootleg
ging. which all good citizens must
deplore. Is steadily decreasing and
this decrease is sure to continue
because of the recent Federal rul-
Ing relative 10 permits 10 WnOle-
salers. l think that the coming
year can best be utilized by
calm, intelligent and thorough
study and observation of actual
conditions here and elsewhere, as
they are developing, as the basis
for determining. before next legis-
lature meets, how most surely to
attain the highest practicable
standards of law and order.
Very truly yours.
