TOXIC PROTESTS
u. s. TARIFF As
BAR TO TRADE
AND FRIENDSHIP
Statement Issued by Jap
anese Chamber Claims
Friction Is Certain with
Heavy Duties

TOXIC, June 20.-(Corre-
,spondence of The Associated
'Press.)-The Yokohama and
Toxic chambers of commerce
have decided to take action in
opposition to the Fordney
tariff bin now before congress by me
m~orialixing the American chamber of
commerce End the japanese govern
ment. A statement issued by the
Toxic chamber OF commerce says-
The Fordney tariff bri provides for
= rudden increase Of the present cus-
tom tariff TO an extremely high. al
most prohibitory rate, which II put
into force will no doubt do an inn
rerse harm to Japancse-American
trade. No 4 few countries suffering
from the wounds inflicted by h great
war are planning an increase OF the
customs tariff as a means to recover
their weakened economic n finan-
c,al status and accelerate the restora-
tior Of their commercial n industrial
relations and friendship to attempt to
build a barrier against the importation
of the merchandise of other countries
by raising the customs tariff to the
extreme and thereby check smooth
commercial relations between two ma
tons.
"A resolution providing against
such measures vas adopted at the re-
cent international economic conference
at Genoa. principally with the motive
OF promoting closer commercial rela-
tons between nations and thereby to
enhance international friendship.
IAN especially close relation binds
,Iapan and America and IL is the sin
cere wish of both japanese and Amer
leans to maintain and further increase
hat close commercial relationship
binding the two nations in future. so
hat the Introduction of the Eoriney
tariff bill proposing such an extreme
increase in the rate of American Gus,
tom tariff seriously affecting h trade
relations between this country and
America is a matter for great regret
to the Japanese business community.
THE enforcement of the Fordney
tariff viii directly or indirectly me
mace the rade relations between ia
nan and America and deal a severe
blow to Japanese manufacturers and
traders Not only that. but it will in
no small measure prejudice the inter
ests OF American traders and nsu
ers IN general SO that the adoption
Of the Fordney tariff will. after all
bring no practical good to America
but on the contrary it is SURE to prove
disadvantageous to her economic inter
ests-

cut company. Chairman Higgins said, i;
one of the difficult problems facing the
commission. The commission. he said
does not feel that it can discriminate
against one section to the profit of another
When decision is finally rendered, il,
will be one that in the d7dntos Of the
commission is the most equitable that can
be reached. He could not, he said, give
any assurance that the two token for Il
cents would be the final decision. The
only assurance that he would give was
that it had been discussed faVorably. II
such ruling is made, he added 1t will be
on the basic rate Of ten cents with the
privilege of surchasing two token for Is
cents, with transfer privileges
No definite date has been set for thu
hearing by the commission as yet, Mr..
Higgins said it would probably not be
held in March. When asked If it would
be a public hearing, he said that that had
not been decided
J. B. Potte, general manager Of the
Bridgeport division of the Connecticut
Co, when asked if a rate Of two rides for
Is cents would permit the operation OF
the company's lines on profitable basis
declared he was not in a position to say
as he had not given such fare rate any
consideration.
It is his opinion that a fat rate fare
with transfers sufficient to be profitable
based on the plan under discussion by the
commission would be more advantageous
than the present split fare payment now ir
effect in Bridgeport. He believed, ne said
that the people of Bridgeport would agree
with the officials of the Connecticut Co..
that it IS absolutely impossible to operate
at profit under a straight five cent fare
He cited some comparative costs of raj;
and other materials required by the com
pany as evidence that operation on five
cent fare is not possible and earn profit
