FIGHT ON VALUATION
TARIFF PLAN URGED
Importers Council Denounccs
Move in Letter to Senate
Committee Chairman.

". u. Franslin. president OF the Ma
tionai Council Of Importers and Traders,
yesterday made public a letter to Sena-
tor McCumber, new Chairman OF the
Senate Finance Committee. and q teie-
gram to Senator F'relinghuysen, a new
member of the committee, urging them
to fight the American valuation plan
in the Fordney tariff bill.
Mr.. Franslin's letter declared the
measure would place consumers at the
mercy Of price fixing groups and that
manufacturers would lose foreign mar
kets for their produce.
The letter, which Is summarized IN
the telegram. Is as follows;
''The National Council OF American
Importers and Traders, In the name of
it's members. and on behalf Of the farm
ers, labor leaders. financiers. leading
economists. wholesalers. retailers and
consumers who through 1t have ex-
pressed their absolute disapproval Of
the American valuation plan In the
Fordney tariff, urge you as chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee to
cast the weight of your opinion against
this dangerous and uneconomio legis-
Iation and to defeat It.
America long ago discarded as I'M
practical and fundamentally unsound
the principle of American valuation.
To-day the consumer. the business man.
the financier and the student arc con-
vinced that American valuation Is q
measure which cannot be enforced on
an equitable basis and win lead the
country into long and costly lawsuits
They are convinced that this measure
win place the consumer at the mercy
OF price fixing groups. who without in
reference of foreign competition viii
be able to declare values of products
arbitrarily his,h.
THE consu,ner and the merchant will
have no relief from the present high
prices and high cost Of living. Manu-
lecturers viii lose foreign markets for
their products, since we cannot hope
TO sell to countries from which we
viii not buy Volume of manufacture

Of American workers will be thrown
out of employment. Farmers will suf-
fer depreciation OF their stock when
they are deprived of foreign markets.
And, finally. our International relations

finance and trade are precariously un-
stable.
American valuation can benefit only

University Thrift

AS we are about to celebrate the
216th anniversary of benjamin
Franklin's birthday and the open
ing of the National Thrift Week,
/ cannot refrain from expressing
some of the thoughts on thrift
that have long been stirring in my
mind.
To University executives. thrift
is not merely a virtue but a dire
necessity. Throughout the year
have to face the almost hopeless
problem of balancing the expense
that attends the proper education
Of our 10000 students with the
revenues from OUR endowment
funds and tuition fees. Every
proposed expenditure has to be
subjected to searching scrutiny
and has TO be justified on the
grounds of its vital service before
it can be approved.
But the question of thrift has
another side of the utmost in
tercst to the community to which
we look for funds to carry on our
work. We ask our well-to-do cit
liens to invest a portion Of their
savings with us. Are we justified
IN this arDeai2
Every business man recognizes
the fact that savings from present
production ought to be invested
IN channels that shall lead to
future production. The present
difficulties of readjustment are
largely due to the fact thst so
great a portion of the worlds past
savings has been diverted to the
non-productive and destructive
channels of war. and not only past
savings but borrowings from the
future.
Our chief remedy for this con.
dition is that present savings, SO
far as possible, shall be wisely and
productivity invested. But men
are the chief agency in pro-
duction. Men are the preferred
investment. And the more highly
trained to directive and creative
leadership, the more productive
will they De.
The number Of men available to
do the work of this generation has
been fixed by the interplay of
birth and death. The supreme
thrift then is the heightening and
Frightening Of that man-power
Of whictl limited allotment has
fallen e. the age in which we live.
Men OF wide outlook are well
aware that this cannot be a pri-
vste or individual affair. Il is a
public affair. a common and CON-
rnunity interest.
lam content that the man whose
personal thrift has given him
funds for investment shall ask
whether, in the long run, there is
any more productive investment
TO be found than that in an insti-
tuition of which the sole purpose
Is the heightening Of human eff
ciency and human character.

it should not require more than
three or four days to strike the
first sand. which the geological
survey has placed at approximate
ly 80 feet. Another thicker sand
is located about 100 feet deeper,
and if there is not sufficient water
in the first sand the drilling will
be continued to the second sand,
Mr.. Harris says.
There is considerable doubt as to
whether sufficient water will be
found I'm the shallow sand. The
exceptionally dry season is thought
to have greatly lessened the flow,
due to the almost entire lack
of surface water during the past
few months.
1t is reported that the Santa Fe

an average of 20 cars of water
daily for use here, is anxious to

AIRPLANES COULD BE
SALVATION OF COAST
DEFENSE, SAYS SIMS

Montreal, Nov. 1O.-An enemy
force Of 100000 men could be
landed at Montaul1 Point, N. r.,
without endangering the Amerl-
can defenses it a sufficient num-
ber of American airplanes were
maintained, Admiral w. S. Sims,
u. S. n, retired, told guests at a
luncheon given him today at the
Canadian club.
"FXperience has shown" Ad-
miral Sims said, that no war ves-
sci will be able to operate within
a reasonable distance Of coast
within the range of an airplane,
provided the number of planes on
the coast is greater than the num-
Der of the enemy ships; and that
number can never be very great.
"An enemy could land a half
men at Montauk Point and
the defense forces could let them
land at leisure. When ready, if
they had superiority in aeroplanes
they could sweep enemy planes
from the coast and drive the enemy
out"

right to work without either inter-

workers to organize for Legitimate
purposes cannot be denied, such

MEAT EATING IS
URGED To HELP
CATTLE RAISERS
United States Department
of Agriculture Issues a
Statement on Value of
Flesh as Diet.

Washington, Nov. 10 (by the
Associated Press The govern
ment has decided to come to the
aid of the livestock industry and
do what ii can to stimulate the
use of meat. A decrease Of more
than rs pounds per person in the
amount of meat eaten a year in
the United States is shown by
latest statistics.
During the war, increase of
livestock production and conserv-
alton in meat consumption were
urged with a most effective artil-
lery of propaganda" the depart
ment of agriculture said today.
1--WE are now producing heavily
with continued inhibition of con-
sumption, particularly by reason
of high prices. The price situa-
tion varies with respect to the dif-
ferent kinds Of meat and with re-
spect to the different cuts of the
same kinds of animals. Consum-
ers can help the livestock indus
try--and also their own pocket
books-by using a wider variety of
kinds and cuts of meat"
"Many persons still hold to the
belief, which was largely the out
growth of unfair and misguided
propaganda, that meat is not
healthy. Medical science has
proved over and over that o large
number of ills once charged against
meat eating are due to infection
of teeth, tonsils and other organs"
The huge decrease in the amount
Of meat eaten and its detrimental
effect on the livestock industry,
caused Secretary Wallace to call a
conference recently of the officers
of the department having to do
with livestock and meat produce
tion, distribution and utilization.
All phases of the meat problem
were discussed, including the prin-
oiples that must govern the de-
partment in widening the market
and promoting the consumption of
meat. On that phase Of the ques-
tion, Charles j. Brand. consulting
specialist in marketing. stated:
1.-THE department cannot promis-
cuously urge people to eat more
meat, though 1t can with full prop
riety urge consumers to use meat
wisely to secure well balanced
meals. 1t can also point out the
wholesomeness of meat, its protein
furnishing and tissue building
value. it's ready availability, and its
high place in the nutrition of man 1
kind" !
