PREFERENTIAL TARIFF
 FOR AMERICAN GOODS
 ADVOCATED BY LASKER
By Associated Press

Washington, April 7.-The most economical way to build up an Amer lean merchant marine would be to put into effect section s4 of the Jones act, which provides preferential tar if duties to insure the goods im- DC rted in American bottoms. Chair man Lasker of the shipping board de- clared today at the joint congress siona1 hearings on the administration ship subsidy bill.
 Forced to turn to an alternative by the refusal of Presidents Wilson and Harding to abrosate portions of commercial treaties, with certain foreign nations which prohibit the United States government from giv- ing American ships preferential treatment as against foreign vessels, Mir. Lasker said, shipping board of ficials with presidential approval, had worked out the subsidy program now pending before the Senate com merce and House merchant marine committees.
 'It will be more expensive" he added, "but it's the cniy thing we could do."

Barrett, for merly of Revere, Mass. but now in the canal zone, as federal prohibit tion director for the zone, was an- nounced recently by prohibition head quarters but is was said tonight that the commis ssion had not as yet actual ly gone forward.
 MT. Haynes was understood to have acceded to Secretary of Wars request and it was the installment of MT. Barrett and a force of prohibition agents in the canal zone would be held up until the matter could be taken up between the two branches of the government.
