Nezc Tariff Plan Would
Help Ou7 Debtors To Pay
Government Expert Shows
How American Valuation
Would Remove Unfair Gus
toms Discrimination.

Under the American valuation plan,
rs proposed in the Fordney Tariff bill,
an equalixing effect upon the com
msrce Of the United States with al
nations with which We trade wouiG
be one of the FIRST and most desirable
results. according to William Bur
CESS. member Of the United States
Tariff Commission.
A similar article sold in Japan a.
30 cents. in Germany at 60 cents, 81
England for 81. under the present for
eign valuation plan means. at a tarin
rate of so Der cent. that Japan would
have to pay IS cents in duty. Ger
many so cents and England 50 cents
Under the proposed American valus
ton. Mr.. Burgess points out that the
importation OF this article would
cause each Of tho exporting countries
10 pay exactly the same amount Of
duty. regardless OF cost Of production.
Thus. nc shows. the present discrim-
ination IN favor of low-cost countries
would be removed. This also would
result in helping our debtor nations
to pay their debts 10 US. Our debtor
nations are Great Britain. France and
Italy.
How are We going 10 help these
nations 10 pay their debts by charging
them a greater amount Of duty than
we charge Germany and Japan Mr..
Burgess asks.
Certain large importing houses and
dealers making greater profits on i'm
ported merchandise than they think
they can make on domestic goods. are
the real opponents Of the American
valuation plan, the tariff expert de-
ciares.
He ansve the argument that
American manufacturers could raise
their prices so as 10 compel importers
to pay a higher amount Of duty by
citing the following example;
Assuming a foreign article TO be
worth 20 cents and the American
article is selling at 81. il would
require 500 Of the American selling
price 10 eIualize the difference be-
tween the foreign and domestic val
ues Now. II the American manu-
facturer raises his price 10 si.c5.
3or duty on this value would be
s7i. cents. the foreign value remain
ing at 20 cents. the landed cost
would be 20 cents Plus 37is cents,
which gives the foreign article the
advantage OF 1917 cents in this mar
ket The American valuation plan
places an automatic check on Amer
lean manufacturers doing this very
thing.

increased selling prices 81 cou.mod!

English Among the Foreign Born.
New York Post /


Out of total foreign born population OF almost
exactly thirteen and half millions years
of age something less than million and a half were
recorded in the 1920 census unable to speak the
English language This is less than half the ratio
recorded in the 1910 The principal reason
for the decline is undoubtedly found in the that
the checked immigration and that there is
consequence much smaller proportion of freshly
rived newcomers today than in 1910. But it would
be doing ourselves injustice to deny that we also
have a gratifying result of that Americanization
work which is the fashion, least in some
cirulcs, to decry.
Critics have arisen ask whether 1t is right and
necessary seize upon the arrivals from Eu-
with their heritage of various while Gull
lures and to force them into the American mould
The answer is that is is certainly worth while to
taech these newcomers the language of their new
home We suspect that the Italian the Slav who
has been helped to learn the English language is
much less concerned about the loss his native
culture than are, say, the editors of the DIAL and
that he finds ample compensation in the improved
economic status which command of the language Of
the country has brought him.
At the same time there is contradiction in the
belief that the process of Americanization has been
helped by the foreign-language press. 1t was a
wrong-headed kind of Amercanization which in
insisted. at the climax of the fever. upon the
suppression of the non-English newspapers Many
of the aen-tongued newspapers equipped with
columns and departments in English, and the for
eign-born readers have thus been brought into
contact with the English language which they would
otherwise have missed English lteracy has profted
by the encouragement of literacy in the native
tongue of the immigrant
