Chairman Fordney Declares Lower

Such Plan Is Submitted; Fs-
vors American Value

Washington.-A row between tb'
house and senate over American valu
alton was forecast Saturday after II be
came known that Republican members
. Of the senate finance committe. In re
writing the so-caiied permanent tariff
bin had agreed tentatively to eontin
uIng the present principle of basIng
duties on foreign market value.
Chairman Fordney OF the houss
ways and means committee. declared
il this kind of tariff measure was
passed by the senate, the house would
write a new bill with an American val
uation clause and 'siet the senate try
again." II this should happen. II was
said there would be little prospect of
q tariff bill at this session unless
congress renamed on the job through
ont most of the congressional election
campaign.
Declaring the house ways and
means committee had written a bill Oh
the American valuation plan only af-
ter full agreement with all of the Re
publican members of the senate com
mittee except Senator LaFoliette, of
Wisconsin, Representative Fordney
said the abandonment of this princf=
pie by the senate committee majority
was "a thing the gentlemen of the
ways and means committee would not
have done without consulting the H.
nance committee"
'Tf they send the bill over here
based on foreign valuation" he added,
"they may expect that 1t will he sent
to the ways committee. which will send
hack TO the senate a bill also based on
American valuation.
The valuation plan. ms framed In the
house bill, was abandoned some time
ago by majority members of the sen
ate committee. who -frnve been consfd-
ering two plans, based largely on the
recommendations of President Harding
in his annual message to congress last
December. The executive then said
regarding American valuation that
there could MOI be ignored the danger
of such valuation" making American
tariffs prohibitive. In the light OF the
speakers position. IL was suggested
that II the house and senate disagreed
on the valuation question the matter
might be referred to the executive In
an effort to bring about an agreement
before such sn impasse as that sug-
gested by Mr.. Fordney would be
brought about.
The senate committee majority be-
gan Saturday the rewriting of b ad
valorem rates In the Fordney bill on
the basis of foreign valuation.
The valuation plan as tentatively

claimed American valuation: flexible
