TARIFFS BASED
ON VALUATIONS
IN j. 8. URGED

WASHINGTON. Jan. s1.-No tariff
bill Will build a foundation for pros
perity unless it provides an American
valuation basis to remedy the hole
in our present laws which the iuctua-
tons In foreign exchange have torn
In it," Charles NJ. Schwab of New
York. declared in a letter read today
before the tariff convention here OF
the National Association of Manufac-
turers by J. e. Edgerton. president OF
the association.
To-day we are confronted with n
basic weakness In our tariff policy
which is affecting inJurlously the
whole Industrial fabric of the nation
Mr.. Schwab said. Fluctuations in
foreign exchange are playing havoc
with wages. prices and orders. Be-
cause our present tariff laws were
framed at n time when foreign mon
eys were normal, they arc today nctu-
ally imperative as far as protecting
labor and industry or yielding revenue
are concerned.
We have American standards In
everything but our tariff. Today. In
my opinion. the hour has cotne when
we should put American standards In
our tariff laws. The simple and effeo-
tive way Of doing this is by substi-
tuting American standards Of value
for the present archaic standards Of
foreign values"
