United States Valuation
Would Correct Tariff Evils
-Jadge De Fries

Americas markets being the best,
its prices the highest and its money
at par, this country has become the
goal of all regenerating trade Judge
Marion De Vries, of the United States
Court OF Customs Appeals, says in a
statement Just issued in favor of the
new Fordney Tariff Bill.
National self preservation, in that
status, primarily demands, plenary
defense of our markets against being
made the dumping grounds of the
worlds products of cheap labor and
production, augmented by extreme
currency depreciation.
One needs TO travel bus little to be
taught the distress and dire needs of
our manufacturers, producers and
laborers by the vacant shops, the
smokeless stacks, and hopeless faces
of Ii workmen, where before were
the hum OF activity and the smile Of
contentment.
Why? We turn to the morning
paper. Every day is printed there the
reason why We read in one column,
for example, that a cut of 20 per cent
has been made in agricultural imple-
ments, in another that four and one
half million OF our laborers are out of
employment, while i'll another column
you read an official report to the De-
partment of Commerce that the great
Krupp plants of Germany, the pre-
war output of and workmen in which
contributed more TO the world calam-
ity and human suffering than any
like Institution in history, now em-
ployes 99,000>men as against $1,000
men prior to the war that they are
contented and reasonably paid; that
the daily output of agricultural and
varied products of hat institution
is greater than in history.
Upon every hand we find in our
land that to-day II goods are being
driven from our markets, our factor
les closed, our farms impoverished
and our laborers thrown into idleness
by the cheap productions of foreign
countries which are hourly being
dumped into this country. Three
years ago the wal closed. Almost
every great commercial nation of the
world a v the United States has put
up the tariff barriers against this
deluge of cheap foreign goods. Octo-
Der LIST free trade England raised her
duties 80 1871 on six thousand
articles. Previously she provided spe-
cial duty against German goods OF
so per cent, and a deprecated curren-
cy provision of Is per cent.
"The question now whether the
import duties levied BY the United
States shall be calculated upon ior-
eign or American valuation basi, is
perhaps the most important import
tariff issue seriously considered by
the Congress since 1858.
THE existing foreign valuation
system is without doubt the weakest

n ETTING the dollar to do
I double duty when it is hard
enough to persuade it to give
one hundred cents worth of work
may sound like frenzied finance.
But it is the actual accomplishment
of American workers of the Near
East Relief in the Levant, where
living costs are constantly striving
for new altitude records.
Due to high prices of native pro-
ducts and the difficulties of import
ing goods into interior stations,
these workers have found it cheap
er and an effective aid to child
training to manufacture their own
supplies in the orphanages scattered
throughout the entire region from
Syria 20 the Caucasus, in which the
Americans are caring for approxi-
mately one hundred and ten thous-
and children.
Not only has this method been
found to furnish superior products,
according to workers who have
been responsible for these activities,
but it prepares the children for oc-
equations hat will eventually make
them self-supporting, such as print

ing, carpentcring, tailoring. dress

The same plan is said by these
workers to have been followed with
considerable success in the admin
istering of general relief. Because
it was found that the indiscrimin-
ate distributions of money and food
tended to make permanent bcggars
of those that received this form of
relief, industrial shops have opened
where employment is given to those
in need. The products of these
shops are either sold or used in
caring for the orphans and adult
refugees.
Though such methods cannot be
adopted in relieving such wide
spread suffering as now exists in
Armenia and elsewhere in the eau
casus, where famine conditions and
accompanying disease are reported
to be causing the death of thous-
ands, they have been found to be
practicable in regions where the
suffering is not so acute or wide
spread and have resulted in the
saving of a large amount OF money,
which it has been possible to apply
to an extension of necessary relief
activities.

HUGHES DEFENDS
POLICY ON HAITI;
DENIES CHARGES
Occupation Will End as
Soon as 1t Properly Can,
He Asserts.

The American govern ent
through Secretary of State Hughes,
yesterday entered a blanket de-
fense of its policy toward Haiti.
Secretary Hughes statement also
served as a denial of recent charges
in connection with the American
military occupation of Haiti and
this governments administrative
intervention in the island republic.
Secretary Hughes made his state
ment to twenty-four lawyers rep
resenting the National Popular Gov
ernment League and the Foreign
Policy Association.
Mr.. Hughes said the American oc-
cupation would end Just as soon
as it can properly end" IT was
stated later at the State Depart
ment that early withdrawal of the
military occupation of Santo Do
mingo probably would take place in
the near future.
The delegation called on Secre-
tary Hughes to support the recent
documents published by these bod
les, criticising the American policy
in Haiti and calling for the with
drawal of United States military
forces from the republic and the
abrogation of the treaty of 1915
between this government and Haiti
which serves as the basis for pres
ent American participation in Hal
tian affairs.

Astounded Clerks Learn Secy. Fall Ordered
Comrades "Chip In"

Pay day at the Patent ONCE yes
terday was not an event. 1t was
tragedy.
Hundreds I of employees opened
their pay envelopes to find enclosed
therein sums like IS cents and 5o
cents. This was for two weeks
work.
The affected employees sought an
exclamation and were told they had
been receiving the annual $24o

for 1t by their division heads.
Two Weeks Pay Gone.
That amount of the bonus they
have received since February Is,
employees were told. had been Iaken
out of their pay for the two weeks
just passed.
The spirit of helpfulness which
pervades- the Patent Office asserted
itself when the plight of the af-
fected employees came to the notice
of those whose pay was not cut.
These each "chipped In" part of
their salaries toward small relic T
sums for their unfoI .unate fellow
workers.
Fall Orders Cut.
Orders that the employees should
not be certified for the bonus were
issued by Secretary of the Interior
