A Question for Serious Consideration
1r. Manufacturer attending the Contention today:
Before you commit yourself the adoption of the Amer
valuation plan provided for in the Fordney tariff bill
cad the following taken from address before the
Cleveland Ohio Chamber Of Commerce January 18th
lated with the Government as tariff and expert:
There another consideration, and very important
want place before you gentlemen The inevitable effect of
this legislation in it affects American manufacturers,
will be to bring about price fixing by the Government
Zone of the Jealous of all the advocates of American
valuation has repeatedly and urgently insisted that the most
effective and in fact the only to make this plan
workable is for the Government either through the Depart
of Commerce. the Department of the Treasury, the
Tariff Commission the Board of General Appraisers, to
establish and then proclaim values for commodities which val
shall be the only values recognized by the cusohouse in
appraising foreign merchandise for duty.
DO not fail to note here that that does not merely
price fixing for foreign commodities price fixing for
domestic commodities because it is the prices of domestic
commodities that similar foreign commodities to be ap
praised
"Now if you gentlemen want the Government to go into
the business of fixing prices for all right But do not
sent to this bndy Remember that all the hardship will not fall
upon the importers Remember that that the Federal
Trade Commission going into your booksprng into all your
costs and expenses, and profits to determine what
proper price should be- Talk about much Government in
business! Why then there will bemoe Government than BUS
! mess in business.
"For the Government to proclaim values of commodities for
duty purposes would necessarily and inevitably result giving
such proclaimed prices official endorsement which would
have the effect of fixing the price If all other arguments
against this preposteous scheme leave you cold this
should be su6icies,t to enlist your earnest opposition"
