 Meanwhile the Secretary of war was at work on his report to Con- gress. which will accompany the con- tract when 1t Is submitted It was estimated that the report would be completed and ready for submission by noon Monday to the House of Rep resentatives. Once there it would be referred by Speaker Gillette. probably to tho committee on rivers and har- bors for first consideration and would not come before the House actually for debate on the floor until that committee had concluded it's deliber- ationA
 Secretary Weeks planned an auto mative release of the report and con- tract effective probably noon Mon day. The day and hour, however, 1t was explained, had not been definitely most probable of any that could be forecast at this time. MT. Mayo left Washington last Tuesday with the contract to obtain Mir. Ford's sigma ture. That was affixed speedily on the following day and was followed by a quick return here of MT. Mayo. lie arrived few minutes after the regular war department closing hour and for that reason delayed presenta- ton of the contract to MT. Weeks un- til tomorrow.

POWERFUL LoBBIEs
 ARE FIGHTING FORD

Washington, January 26.-(special.) ) Senator Harris of Georgia waa prompted to introduce . resolution asking for an investigation of the al- legged Hobbies in a fight against the acceptance by Congress of tho Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals on ac- count of innumerable criticisms of that offer which. have reached him daily, 1t is learned tonight.
 Many of these protests came from prominent business men in Georgia Other members of Congress have likewise been inundated with pro- tests and criticisms and it appears that there Is in progress a well di- rected propaganda.
 The National Fertilizer association of Philadelphia Is publicly at work in efforts to defeat the Ford offer If other movements are afoot they are obscured. There is no lobby op- erating In person in Washington.
 It Is anticipated that the Harris resolution will cause prospective anti Ford activity to hesitate. Senator Harris will speak in behalf of his resolution until 1t is disposed of There is doubt as to his ability to put 1t through.
 Congress has been too frequently engaged in Investigating since the war to rush hastily into another, il is indicated.

ports Republican protective tariff
when a new foundation is needed by
the business of the country to rebuild
an era Of prosperity"
Senator Lodge also sought to answer
the charge that the pending bill would
cut off imports 70 such an extent that
American foreign commerce would be
destroyed.
Our foreign trade is not suffering be-
cause OF the tariff" he said. "and we
are living now under the emergency
tariff act which has higher rates in
many cases, than those proposed In the
Finance Committee bin. The Democrats
seek to give the impression that the in
crease in our foreign trade and,in trade
conditions throughout the country are
due to the Underwood tariff act, whereas
figures quote d by Secretary Hoover show
increases in foreign trade. which have
developed since the emergency tariff bill
became law.
Building up the business OF this
country is not going to depress the
business of the world. Other countries
have high duties now. as the figure
presented by Senator Gooding show /
think ! am right i'm saying that in many
cases their duties are higher than ours.
and yet those who oppose this bill seem
to think these duties will stop the trade
OF other countries with us.
I'VE are obliged to-day to meet an
economic situation, such as the world
has never seen. owing to the utterly dis
torted and disocated conditions of ex-
change. In the midst of these fluctua-
tions we must determine what duties are
sufficient TO protect American indus
tries and agriculture. Under normal
conditions, when values and costs of
production were practically fixed for
easy determination, the rates were not
as high as are those necessary to-day
But now. with the shifting of values and
costs abroad. which are admittedly alb
normally low, duties must be higher. than
has been customary. The fundamental
conditions of all tariff legislation to-day
are entirely different from what they
were prior to the war.
Nevertheless, this is not an argument
for delay In tariff revision. The first
essential of business is to have stability
of conditions, so far as they depend upon
tariff legislation. Business can adjust
itself to a discouraging tariff, or even to
one badly constructed. better than 1t can
to a condition of suspense and doubt.
They are the greatest hindrances to a
prosperous business or farm"

Trade Buying Gains
More Purchasing This Week
Than Last

Gains in buying from manufacturers
and wholesalers during the week ended
July II, in all sections Of the country
except the South, brought the general
average of purchasing up 1.3 per cent
above that of the previous week, &C
cording to the Credit Clearing House
weekly merchandising activity report.
Buying was, however, 8 per cent under
last year and IL per cent under the
corresponding week in 1920. The re-
port is based on unit transactions, and
not on the dollars-and- cents value Of
orders. In the East, despite strikes
which are holding back business, buy
ing increased AZ per cent over last
week, although it was 81 per cent be-
hind last year.
Indebtedness declined 1.s per cent
from last week, but was as per cent
heavier than last year and So per cent
above two years ago. Payment activity
also showed decline from last week,
dropping 3.3 per cent, 1t also was 1o.1
per cent under last year and 1877 per
cent under two years ago.

"The outstanding feature of
trade" says the National Retail
Dry Goods Association in its month
ly survey Of business. in which con-
tinued Improvement in retail lines
is noted, ais re-established conf
dence, which appears to be univer-
sal and, except in local areas d.
rectly affected, discounts apprehen-
sion Of serious setbacks from
strikes, as it discounts depressing
forecasts from Europe. Notwith-
standing the possibility of long con-
tinued idleness on the part of the
100000 workers Of all occupations
on strike at the beginning Of July,
the attitude of business is that the
REIMBURSEMENT is at hand which has
been inevitable since the end of the
war, and that the nation is prepared
for it,"
