by Nssociated PreHs TO Every Evening.
Washington, Jan. a0.--Enactment
at the earliest practicable moment
OF tariff legislation 70 afford American
manufacturers that protection with
out which they cannot weather the
storm OF foreign competition and TO
provide mn American valuation has
for import duties was urged by John
~. Edgerton, president Of the Nation
.al Association OF Manufacturers. In
an address here today at the opening
Of the associations tariff convention.
The meeting. Mr.. Edgerton said, was
called for the purpose OF giving the
most effective expression 10 tho de-
clared will OF the associations mem
bership' In favor OF that program
ms was shown in recent referendum
vote.
Arguing In favor Of the American
valuation plan. Mr.. Edgerton declared
the government had the same right
TO fx the basis OF It's tariff assessments
as II did the assessment rates them
selves. Asserting tho lament" that
the adoption Of the plan would govern
'in price fixing" which, he said, came
hfi h'te itVih iHS fiHpofliHR interests,
had mo foundation I'm reason" the
speaker continued.
I'm my own opinion. the genesis OF
the opposition to this American prin-
ciple OF valuation lies In the fear of
tho discovery by tho public of the
favoritc abiding place of abnormal
profits
Articles of merchandise may be
purchased abroad at low prices and
Imported on n European valuation, but
they are sold to consumers in this
country on an American valuation
and that valuation is determined by
the cost of manufacturing and mar
keting the same commodities by Amer
lean manufacturers"
