TARIFF TRAINERS
COME TO TERMS
Republicans of House and Sen
ate Get Down to Basis of a
Possible Compromise.
(sy The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.-After a two
day row over American valuation. repub-
lican tariff trainers of the house and SEN
ate got down today to the basis OF a
possible compromise. Two plans were
said to have been proposed with the un-
derstanding that when the senators had
decided on the valuation the house men,
bers would be called in again.
Under one OF the plans, as explained
by Chairman Fordney of the house ways
and means committee, ad vaIorem duties
on imported merchandise comparable
with American made goods would be
assessed on the basis Of the value of
the domestic produced articles. Import
ed goods not comparable with American
products would pay a duty on the basis
Of the wholesale selling price of those
goods in American markets.
The other plan, Mr.. Fordney said, was
to assess all ad valoTem duties on the
basis of the wholesale selling price OF
the imported articles in the markets of
the United States. This is the plan pro-
posed by members Of the tariff commits
sion and the court of customs appeals
and was considered at length by the
senate finance committee before the ten
tative agreement was reached last week
to accept the principle of foreign valua-
ton with bolstering provisions for pro-
claimed American valuation; flexible
rates and increased or decreased duties
to meet specific conditions in trade
brought about dy the depreciation of
clIrrencies in foreign countries.
