The objective of all three is in direct disagreement with the eco homie recommendation of the Roosevelt administration as out lined this week at Chicago by Sec- rotary of Agriculture Wallace. He said foreign debtors must be al- lowed to earn the money with which to pay their debts and that a major source of that income would be derived by sale of prod ucts in the United States.
 Chairman Harrison of the senate finance committee recently estimat- cd that revenue from alcoholic beverages would aggregate s700.- 000,o00 annually and in outlinging the various sources of taxes and customs duties. Harrison specifcal- ly included French wines among the products upon which levies should not be prohibitive. The administration is expected to dis- courage punitive levics of any de- scription because the underlying purpose of the drive for repeal of the 18th amendment is the in-. crease of federal revenue. The objective of the tariff framers will be to esta blish customs duties to amply protect domestic producers but without wholly excluding for cign products.
