U. S. SALES TO
WORLD SUFFER
STARTLING DROP
as Countries and Political
Units Counter With
Tariff Hikes.
BIZ United press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, April a. Euro
pean and oriental countries and DO
litical units in the South Pacific
have followed the lead of the United
States by countering with tariff in
ereases in the ten months since the
Hawley-Smoot act raising duties on
American imports became effective.
Sixteen European nations and
thirteen countries and political
units in the Far East and South
Pacific have raised the tariff wall
higher against many leading COM
modities produced or manufactured
IN this country ana sold in foreign
markets.
Some Of these tariff increases, as
IN the case of South American
countries, generally have been in
terpreted as retaliatory to increases
made by the United States on
products those countries send here.
Decrease in United States Sales
Sixteen South American coun-
tries have raised their tariff rates
since President Herbert Hoover
signed the HaWley -Smoot act, max
ing total Of forty-nve countries
and political units altogether which
have boosted their rates
A decrease Of nearly half a billion
dollars in United States sales To Eu-
rope occurred in the eight months
beginning last July l through Feb
ruary this year, as compared with
the corresponding period Of the year
before. The tariff went into effect
last June II.
The drop totaled $461 1887. Ex-
ports for the eight months ending
in February were valued at 81 1885,
298,255. For the comparable eight
months in the previous year, they
we're 97,418,152.
Oriental Business Down
There has been comparable de-
crease in trade with Oriental and
South Pacific countries.
European countries which have
boosted tariff rates are Austria. Bel
GUM, Esthonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland
Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Spain,
Switzerland, Portugal and Yugo-
slavia
Eastern countries and political
units which have raised their rates
are China, Japan, Siam, Dutch East
Indies. British India, Egypt, Syria,
Federated Malay States, British New
Guinea, Hongkong, Australia, New
Zealand and the Cook islands.

WEEK OF FARLEY ENDS.
Agreement SOen Of German Credit
Greup Seems Unlikely.

BERLIN, December 19 (P).-Tonight
ended week Of negotiations by group
of bankers considering credits frozen in
Germany, but it still appeared unlikely
they could agree on any method of pro-
cedure before Christmas.
Scant information available from
their secret meeting indicated that Ger
many and her creditors were still far
apart.
Three problems have developed:
First-The English and the SWedes
insist that the agreement leaving the
credits to Germany shall be continued
only three to six months The Ger
mans contend that what they need is a
longer period and that six months ex-
tension will offer no relief. They are
supported by the American delegation.
Second-The Swiss and the Dutch
are insisting on high rate of interest,
some say as high as 8 per cent, and
as the Swiss have 81 per cent of the
credits involved, their word carries some
weight. The Germans say such a rate
would make early amortiZa ton impos-
sible
Third-The Americans insist that the
ultimate beneficiaries of the credit pro-
vide guarantees in addition to those
advanced by the German banks. The
Germans contend their industries are
already so heavily mortgaged such an
additional guarantee would be ex-
tremely difficult.
Day after day these viewpoints have
continued, but thus far there has been
no compromise. All hands insist, how
ever, that progress is being made and
that an agreement is only matter of
time
Oliver M. Sprague, American advisor
to the Bank of England, arrived late
today, but it was said officially his visit
had nothing to do with the meeting of
the bankers.

MOONEY CASE DATA

sham Reports.

BY the Associated Press.
Three Senators are seeking from
President Hoover the secret reports on
which the Wickersham Commission
based a denunCiation Of the laws under
which the famous Mooney-Biflings case
was conducted as shocking to ones
sense of Justice
All unpublished information on the
subject collected by the commissions
experts was requested in a resolution
introduced by Senators Cutting, Repub-
lican, of New Mexico; Walsh, Democrat,
of Montana, and Costigan, Democrat,
of Colorado.
In report on criminal procedure to
the President last July the commission
cited the case in which Warren K
Billings and Thomas j, Mooney were
imprisoned for the 1915 Preparedness
day bombing in San Francisco as one
in which motions for a new trial were
held inadequate to prevent injustice :"
The commission made no direct rec
ommendation that the case be re-
opened, however Recently Mayor James
j. Walker of New York journeyed to
San Francisco IN an effort to secure
MONEYS release.
Senator Cutting, who presented the
resolution on behalf of its three spon-
sors, said he -Hpected it would be
adopted tomorrow.
MY only interest is seeing that these
reports which were prepared with the
taxpayers money are made public" he
said. He added that stories have been
printed and not denied that voluminous
reports on the Mooney Billings case
were prepared by the commissions ex-

DEADLOCK GRIPS
YOUNG PLAN GROUP
Three Proponents of Debts
Cancellation Refuse to
Sidestep.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOCldleu fTeSS.
BASEL, Switzerland, December 19.-
The deadlock which threatens to keep
the Young plan experts on the job
until after Christmas remained un-
broken tonight after a three-hour
secret session.
Several members of the committee
who advocate cancellation of repara-
tions as a means of rejuvenating the
worlds business refused to sidestep
their convictions in favor of any mea-
sure they considered temporary, it was
learned on good authority.
The members who have taken a de-
cided stand for cancellation are
Hendryk Collin of Holland, Otto
Rydbeck of Sweden and R. G. Bind
schelder of Switzerland
Meet in Apartment.
The eleven economists and bankers
who make up the committee that must
pass on Germany's capacity to pay
reparations held their secret meeting
in the hotel suite of Alberto Beneduce
of italy, the chairman. Strict orders
were given attendants to drop no hints
about what they were doing. Even
some Of the secondary members of the
delegation have been kept in ignorance
of what was going on
These precautions marked a change
in the committees policy for until
yesterday information had been given
out from official sources.
During the two weeks the experts
have been in session they have ex-
amined Germany'S budget, the foreign
trade balance, the condition of the rail-
ways. the situation of the Reichsbank,
German holdings abroad and the debts
Germany owes abroad
One Of the most startling revelations
was the capacity-whiCh the experts
accepted without questioned the Ger
man railways to pay the unconditional
portion OF reparations, amounting to
S46,500,000, demanded from them under
the Young plan.
Reich Taxed to Limit.
German figures showed the Reich's
budget to be weak and the country to
be taxed to the limit. The foreign
trade balance was good, but German
SpokeSmen said it was likely to fall
below the amount needed to pay ex-
ternal debts.
A deficit of from $325 100000 to
1852, 100000 was found between what the
world owes Germany and what Ger
many owes the world, not including
reparations.
Whether the experts agree that Ger
many will be unable to make enough
money from foreign trade during 1882
to make up her deficits remains to be
told in the final report, over which the
battle tonight ragged.

,M'FADDEN ASSA|LS
MELLON ON RADIO
>0uotes Secretary to Show
Practically Billion Taxes
Not Paid.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
A new quarter of the administration
the Treasury-was singled out yes
terday by the defiant Representative
McFadden of Pennsylvania for a con-
tinuation of his attack on the heads
of his party.
Leaving the floor of the House, where
his constitutional rights grant him i'm
munity for anything he says there, Nc
Fadden struck out at Secretary Mellon
over radio chain broadcast
He charged the Treasury with dere-
licticn of Its immediate duty" by fail
ing to collect unpaid taxes. He quoted
a letter from Mellon to show there is
practically billion dollars of unpaid
taxes outstanding in appeals from as
sessments.
No mention Of his recent attack on
President Hoover was made in the
speech. McFadden said he asSasked
by the National Grange, which spon-
sored the broadcast, not to talk" on
war debts and reparations.
Backfire Is Continued.
Meanwhile, his assertions that the
President sold out" to Germany in
proposing the moratorium continued to
oacktire in the House.
His offer of Friday night to prove his
charges If given the opportunity was
taken UP by a Democrat, Rankin OF
Mississippi. Rankin told the Republi-
can side of the House that If YOU dc
not have the courage to investigate
these charges, 1 shall offer such a res
olutlon myself"
He made the assertion in an ex-
change over striking from the Congres-
sional Record charges by Representa-
tive Free, Republican, of California
that McFaddens occupation was
bribery" Free had promised to elimi-
nate his remarks but the Record con-
tained them this morning.
There was no disposition apparent
among the Republican leaders to accept
Rankins suggestion.
Seemingly unperturbed by the efforts
of party leaders to mete out political
punishment to him for his remarks
against the President, McFadden took
up his new attack with less pronounced
personal castigation but with the same
zeal.
Sales Tax Criticized.
He criticized the proposal of the
Treasury to impose a sales tax to raise
new Government revenue with 81 lOOO,-
100000 outstanding in unpaid and un-
collected taxes.
To establish new form Of taxation
such as the sales tax he said, lis tC
admit our inability to maintain a Gov
eminent strong enough to enforce its
statutes and to surrender to the habit
Of tax evasion by giving taxpayer a
new statute to evade.'
He said hundreds of millions of these
unpaid taxes are available for collec-
ton if the Treasury Department does
its immediate duty" adding it woulc
seem the part of wisdom" to collect
these taxes rather than propose new
taxation.
Protection of McFadden against
further attacks like the Free speech was
decided upon by group of House Pro-
gresSives.
Representative La Guardia, Republi-
can. Of New York. without saying he
and the other ProgresSives either agreed
or disagreed with McFadden's criticism
of the administra ton. asserted there
will be some member of the Progressive
group on the floor of the House at all
times to protect McFadden against as
Saults on his integrity and rights as q
member"
