REFUSAL TO BARE COSTS
BARS RIGHT TO IMPORT
Treasury to Deny Singer Manu-
featuring Company Rights to Use
Customs for One Year.

Foreign manufacturers who refuse
to submit for examination their
books on production cost may be
denied the right to import for one
year, according to Information sent
out yesterday to customs officers by
the Treasury.
The power authorised in section
$40 of the tariff act may thus be in
voked for the first time. Instructions
were sent to customs collectors by
opinion by Attorney General Daugh-
erty saying the Treasury's authority
was absolute. The opinion referred
directly to shipments by the Singer
Manufacturing Company. Limited. Of
that denial by the company OF the
inspection privilege constituted valid
grounds for use Of the provision to
close the customshouss doors to the
concern for one year.
