TO AVOID HIGH TARIFF
Pan American Conference Approves
Argentine Recommendation.
by the Associated Press.

Santiago, April 14.-Ihe recon-
mendation proposed by the Argentine
delegation and accepted by the United
States, that all American nations
"avoid, as far as possible excessive
tariffs on imported raw materials, y
was approved yesterday By the COM
merce committee Of the Pan-American
conference.
Approval was also voted of Argen-
tine recommendations that all nations
encourage the adoption of measures
tending to greater efficiency in or
ganization of international credits and
the international exchange of raw
materials and make every effort to
adjust railroad and maritime freight
rates to the requirements of inter-
national distribution.
These recommendations were &C
cepted by the United States as a
substitute for its negative report on
the subject. thus ratifying the reso-
luton of the Pan-American financiai
congress against prohibitive duties ON
raw materials.
The North American argument is
that it is a question for each country
to determine for itself.
