BACK SLASH
IN TARIFF.
Rr InternatIonaI News servles


The American automobile Industry
has achieved such remarkable
dominance Of the world market that
leaders today volunteered to accept
a slash in the passenger automobile
tariff from rs to 10 per cent. the
present countervaillng duty to re-
main.
All the same time witnesses ap-
pearing before the Senate Finance
metals subcommittee, OF which
senator Reed Hs) Of Pennsylvania,
is chairman. opposed complete
abandonment of the protective tariff
on passenger cars, and said more
protection Is needed on heavy duty
trucks, busses and electric motor
Among the witnesses appearing
before the committee at the invita-
tion OF Chairman Reed were Alvan
Macanley, president OF, the Packard
Motor Company and president Of
the National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce; Alfred p. Sloan, jr.,
president Of General Motors: Walter

r.. /. Roherge. assistant sales man
ager OF the Ford Motor Company;
T.. r. Dahl, motor truck committee,
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce. and Alfred Reeves, gem
erai manager of the chamber.
There are more than 31,00O,0O0
motor vehicles in the world. OF
which 835 per cent were produced
by American companies. Macauley
told the committee. Last year
American companies sold $4,000
units abroad, and he predicted that
the figure would rise to more than
1900, 900 this year.
Macauley asserted, however, that
foreign competition is increasing
with adoption OF American methods,
and he opposed absolute lifting Of
the tariff.
II the tariff Is cut to 10 per cent
and the countervailing duty re.
mains, American manufacturers
would still be in a position to meet
retaliatory tariffs. The President
could raise the 10 per cent to is
per cent. The countervailing is
the amount Of duty any foreign
country imposes on American cars.
During Macauley's appearance.
Reed raised the question Of the
legality Of the countervailing, or
retaIiatory, tariff. He said that
the State Department Is undecided
whether this violates American
most.favored. nation treaties. The
Treasury holds that it does not.
The countervailing tariff now Is
invoked against several countries.
including France, which increases
the Is per cent tariff against. that
country's As per cent. Against
Great Britain under the retaliatory
clause the American tariff IL SO 1-3
per cent.
