A protective tariff viii be needed
by American industries to check
the fioE OF importations from Eu-
rope. according to Senator McKin-
ley. who discussed yesterday the
results OF his observations while in
Europe last month.
Senator Mckinley attended the
Inter-Parliamentary Union con-
gress at Stockholm, Sweden. and
daring his six weeks' abroad stop
ped at points in Denmark. Norway,
Belgium. Germany and France.
II found conditions in Norway,
Sweden and other countries which
remained neutral in the war as bad
as in the belligerent countries, %
Senator Mckinley declared Res
toration and reconstruction work
in France and Belgium il progress
and very slowly and except in Ger
many 1 found industry at a stand
still Germany's factories are be-
ginning to get under way. although
they are not yet working at capac-
ity. IL is my opinion that these
countries will not be able to buy
from the United States for months
to come and that in the meantime
we must have a protective tariff
that will shut out the flood of
cheapIy manufactured goods which
will soon be dumped on our mar
kets."
Senator Mckinley spent some
time this week with former Repre-
sentative Henry Boutell of Illinois,
discussing conditions in Europe.
Mr.. Boutell has just returned from
a three months trip abroad.
