PETITIONS CITE
NEED Of MORE
PROTECTION
Curb on Imports or a Special
Levy Against Importers
Seen As Possible
By International News Service

BY International News Service
A test Of the tariff policy of
the NRA and the Roosevelt ad-
ministration drew closer today as
1t became known that man. in
dustries have appealed for addi-
tional tariff protection under the
national Industrial recovery act.
While the tariff question is
bound up in the international
currency situation-and may be
Vitally affected by the national
currency policy-industries are
losing no time in pressing their
claims.
The newly created exports divi-
sion of the NRA has received a
number Of petitions for tariff
protection, with manufacturers
citing the increased cost of op-
Grafton under the codes of fair
competition.
Two Plans Seen
Under the recovery law, Con-
gress provided that the Presi-
dent could limit imports or i'm
pose additional tariff fees to
equalize the cost of production
at home and abroad.
Experts studying the problem
have found, to their surprise,
case in which imports have in
creased from gold standard de-
spite the fall of the dollar, which
is generally classed as effective
tariff protection in itself.
Two plans are known to be
under consideration if additional
tariff protection is held necessary.
One calls for a straight limita-
ton of imports and the other the
assessment of specific fees against
the importers, instead of against
the products themselves.
BackerS of the oil code, which
provides for control of American
production, have freely predicted
q limitation of imports of oil
from Venezuela and other Latin
American countries will be neces-
Sary.
Retail Pleas Pile Up
Other problems pressed for
solution al the NRA, with lndica-
tions that efforts will be made
to complete the code fer 100000
retailers during the week.
During the two and a half
day abser.ce of Hugh S. johnson.
NRA administrator his aides were
engaged in compiling thousands
of letters and kilograms from
retailers.
A big majority, according to
Deputy Administrator A. D.
Whiteside, favor the 10 per cent
cost limitation provision in the
code.
President Roosevelt had the
opportunity to canvass the en-
tire retail situation during his
weekend cruise. Guests in
cluded Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Rosenman, of New York. Mr..
Rosenman is counsel for the New
York City Retail Dry Goods AS
sociation and had a large part
in code deliberations.
Quick Action Sought
The President, it is reported,
desires that the entire question
be settled quickly, so the vast
retail business may be brought
under a permanent code. De-
malls were made by NRA officials
that the President had laid
down the law" to retailers as he
did to the coal operators.

One night the young crown
prince phoned the fire brigade
and announced in a desperate
voice that the palace was ablaze.
The excitement caused was in
describable. The whole police and
fire departments of the capital
rushed to the palace, but when
they arrived, everything was dead
quiet.
The hoax was soon discovered
and Carol administered his son
a punishment fit for an ex-
