WASHINGTON, May Laugh
ing up their sleeves at the joke
played on the farmers, who had
been deluded by Republican party
campaign speeches into the idea that
The tariff revision would some way
n other help them by raising the
tariff on farm products, the repub-
tcan majority of the house ways
and means committee today It orted
in bill for new tariff that simply
disregards the product Of the poorer
farmer altogether.
Everybody but the farmers under
stand that high tariff on wheat or
corn would simply profit the COM
mission merchants and wholesalers.
as the farmers do not influence the
price of the goods they sell, but no
one has taken the farmer into the
secret, and definite campaign prom
ises had been made.
Insults Farmers.
AS though to add insult to insult,
Chairman Hawley's bill deliberately
leaves the wheat and garin rates
the same. but raises the tariff Oh
the agricultural products that are
controlled by large landlords, or by
powerful associations of farm cap
italists, which act like monopolies
and do reap profits from higher
duty. The citrus fruit growers as
sociations are cheered with the fol-
lowing rates: Oranges, grapefruit
and lemon peel, crude, dried or in
brine. cents pound; candied or
otherwise prepared or preserved, 8
cents pound; citrus or citrus peel,
candied or otherwise prepared or
preserved, six cents pound; lines,
cents; grapefruit, 2 cents; pine
apples. So cents crate of two and
forty-five hundredths cubic feet; in
bulk, one and one-sixth cents each.
Big Packers Profit.
Some sops were thrown to the
truck farmers, and the big stock
ranchers and packing house owners
came out handsomely, as the follow
ing rate increases indicate fresh
chilled or frozen beef, six cents
a pound; sheep, lambs and goats,
three dollars a head; mutton and
fresh, chilled or frozen goat meat,
cents pound; fresh chilled OF
frozen lamb, cents a pound, swine,
2 cents pound.
Sugar Goes Up.
The American sugar trust is given
q real advantage over its Cuban
rivals in the raising of the duty on
sugar to cents pound, which
even with the 20 per cent preference
given Cuba, will make the rate "a
cents a pound for her. The present
basic rate is % cents pound. The
most controversy has been about the
sugar rate, and the Cuban govern
ment has a delegation visiting its
imperialistic masters in Washing
ton, begging for low rate.
Protect" Textiles.
The other most important adj
vances are one taking cement from
the free list and fixing a tax of
eight cents per 100 pounds, and a
general substantial revision upwards
of cotton, silk and wool fabrics
rates, although raw cotton is left
on the free list.
The bill will be taken up from
the floor Monday under stringent
rules by which the majority intends
to preserve its content, almost with
out change.
While the House was occupied by
this matter the Senate was drawing
to a close debate on the debenture
plan of farm relief, on which the
voting begins either late tomorrow
or Thursday.

ly admitted in a report just made by
II. O. Chalkley, the commermial
counsellor of the British embassy in
Buenos Aires
In some departments of trade the
United States has secured a pre-
hdominance from which it is becom-
ing increasingly difficult to Gust her.

in coal, shipbuilding and shipping
does Britain hold her own.
In connection with the quiet

now being released among British
bankers in an effort to spur British
Investment in Argentine, it is Curl
Gus to note the widely divergent
points of view held by British and
American investors in that part Of
the world.
Americans have invested almost
wholly in public loans, while British
ers have preferred to invest almost
I exclusively in public utilities and en-

RADIO LABORATORY
MOVE IS APPROVED
Good Sanctions Transfer of
Three Units Here to Fort /.
Monmouth, M. ].

Secretary of War Good has approved
the recommendation of Maj. Gen.
George S. Gibbs, chief signal officer,
that three laboratories maintained by
the corps here be removed to Fort Mon
mouth, N. j., where their activities can
be incorporated under single manage
ment. About 20 officers and men, resi-
dents OF Washington and vicinity, will
be affected.
Gen. Gibbs said the reduction in
scope of research work which followed
the World War left the laboratories
scattered, with the radio unit in the
Bureau of Standards Building, the cleo
trical branch in building at Viz
ginia avenue and Nineteenth street,
and the meteorological laboratory in the
Munitions Building.
The general believes the concentration
will reduce overhead expenses by elimi-
mating overlapping activities, and work a
SO per cent increase in efficiency. The
new unit will be housed temporarily at
Fort Monmouth, pending erection Of a
modern laboratory there, as contemplate
ed under the Army building program.
The main object of the laboratory
work carried on by the Signal Corps
is to design and produce new types
of communication equipment for the
Army, including radio sets suitable for
transport by men in the field, pack ami
mails and vehicles, as well as various
sorts of telephone and telegraph field
equipment. Work of removing the lab
oratories will begin In the near future.
