PROTESTS AGAINST
VALUATION PLAN
Says Aperican Basis for Tariff
Would Give Unfair Advan-
tage to German Imports.

BY Associated Press to Every Evening.
Washington, Jan. 23s--Protesting
against any American valuation plan
in the proposed permanent" Tariff
bill, II. r. Miles OF Racine, Wisconsin.
chairman of the Fair Tariff League,
told the Senate finance committee, to-
day this proposal was simply a
camounage" and would offer no reme-
dy whatever against importations
from Germany, (which alone disturb
us" lie advocated deprecated cur
rency clause" in the bill.
"If thing coets 81 in Germany,
$3.50 in England and 81 in the United
States" said Mr.. Miles, the American
valuation proposal would make each
importation pay. say. 30 per cent duty
on the American valuation Of 81. be-
ing so cents duty. This would make
the German article, duty paid, $3.50,
with the English article s210, the
American article remaining 81. You
couldn't use a higher rate of duty
without prohibiting trade with Eng
land and other good currency coun-
tries, whose trade we must have. And
yet this 30 per cent leaves Germany
25 per cent below England and %
per cent below domestic prices.
THE remedy is TO leave the duties
to be levied on foreign value as al
present. with duty OF 40 per cen
and the further proviso that II ans
country's currency is deprecated be
yond 20 per cent, there shall be addet
three-fourths Of one per cent to tn,
tariff rate for each per cent of depre
citation. This would bring the Ger
man article to: Foreign cost, 81; dut,
40 cents; account deprecated of cur
rency. 60 cents; or a total of 81, ex
actly tho American price.
