LITTLE INTEREST SHOWN BY BANKERS
 IN TARIFF ISSUE
Answers To Questionnaire Re- veal That Effect Is Consid-
 cred To Be Negligible

RYE, N. Y, April 25.-The report of the economic commission of the executive council of the American Bankers association. containing the results of a survey on business con- 10 and April 13, this year, was read before the annual conference of that body at the Westchester- -Biltmore Country club here today.
 The survey took the form of a questit nnaire, sent to bankers throughout the country who are members of the association, on cer- tain Fundamental economic questions of present day interest.
 The first question was What. in your opinion, is the effect of the present tariff upon the industries with which you are familiar? If it has had nc effect so far. is it be- lieved. in your part of the country. that the tariff will have any effect. either beneficial or injurious, upon the prosperity of your part of the state"
 Out of 4S9 answers received. l2o an swered that the tariff was injurious to industries in their respective ter ritories, 166 stated that the present tariff was beneficial. and 1SS believ- ed that it had no direct effect on the prosperity or lack of pro sperity in their section.
 Little Effect Is Seen.
 very large proportion of those voting believed that. the tariff had little, if any, effect upon the well fare of the country, and in general there seemed to be a feeling that there is little interest in the tariff question. One writer stated that the tariff is a local issue.
 number of those answering the question who live in agricultural regions made the statement that the has proved to be of no advantage to the farmer.
 Another question read: '1n your opinion. is there much forward buy ing for fall consumption? Are re- tailers buying regularly. and if so, along whats lines?"
 From answers received from all over the country there seems to be no tendency to buy heavily in ad- vance and little tendency to specu- late in commodities.
 A question on which there seemed to be greater tensity of interest than on many others was: Does there appear to be any shortage of labor in your part of the country which would be relieved if the pres ent restrictions upon immigration were to be relieved?"
 According to the answers. which indicated that there was more inter- est in labor supply and immigration problems than in great many other there is much labor shortage immi- grafton is desired, and where there is nc shortage the foreign element is found to be undesirable.
