BASE FOR TARIFF
LEV|ES IS STUDIED
Adoption Of U. S. Sale Price
Advocated by WoII at
House Hearing.
BY the Associated Press.

With the House Ways and Means
Committee considering whether to boost
duties against countries that have de-
serted the gold standard, the Tariff
Commission began q study today to de-
termine If 1t should adopt the Ameri-
can selling price as the base for tariff
levies.
Adoption of this method of valuation,
which would automatically increase
tariffs, was advocated by Matthew Woll,
president OF the American Wage Earn
ers' Protective Conference. He de-
scribed the United States an an Inter
national dumping ground" for commodi-
ties produced by cheap labor.
The Ways and Means Committee, ap-
preaching the end of its hearings on
the Hill bill, listened to the contention
OF James w. Bevans of New York, rep
resenting the National Council of I'm
porters and Traders, that decreasing i'm
ports did not bear out the assertion that
previously had been made by other wit
nesses that deprecated currencies were
increasing the importation of foreign
merchandise.
Method Used for Century.
Woll, in speaking for the American
method of valuation, was joined by rep
resentatives of the American Tariff
League, the American Manufacturers
Association and other groups favoring
increased duties.
For century the United States has
used the foreign value Of a commodity
as the base. This method has been
abandoned by every other important
commercial nation, John G. Lerch, an
attorney representing the Tariff League
and other groups, told the commission.
Woll said as result of debasement
OF foreign currencies. American work.
ers in many lines of production are re-
ceiving no protection at all.
Lerch, a valuation expert formerly
employed by the commission, said i'm
porters' statements of the foreign value
of a commodity are often fiction;
that there is no legal way to compel
importers or foreign producers to give
the exact foreign value of their product
ment base does not accurately reflect
the foreign cost and American producers
ARE the goat
Lerch said that changing from the
foreign value base to the American SELL
ing price would enable the American
selling price to be easily ascertained
and eliminate the large corps of foreign
Investigators now maintained to de-
termine the foreign values of COM
modities.
Before the Ways and Means Com
mittee, McGugin. Kansas Republican,
contended any movement to meet the
question of deprecated foreign cur
rency must be met by monetary legisla-
ton
THE manufacturing industry can
not deliver itself from its present
dilemma by coming to Congress and
obtaining further right and privilege
to pick the pockets Of American agri-
culture" he said.
This bill will make more unemploy-
ment instead Of less unemployment"

PLAN GLOBE FLIGHT
TO LOWER RECORD
Mattern and Griffin Will
Leave in June or July
to GirdIe Earth.

James L. Mattern and Bennett Grit
I'm, who set a transatlantic flight rec
ord last year on their around the
world attempt, which ended disaS-
trously. will take another shot at the
Post and Gatty globe-circling record
this Summer.
After q conference this morning with
Col. Clarence M. Young Assistant Sec
retary Of Commerce for Aeronautics,
Mattern revealed he and his partner
have been working on plans for their
flight ever since the first attempt was
terminated abruptly by a crash when
they landed in Russia. Using the same
plane, the renovated Century of Prog
from Chicago or New York in June
or July and make their way around
the world In less than the 8 days, Is
hours and 81 minutes Post and Gatty
hung up as an all-time record for the
flight.
Silent on Mark Reduction.
How much they hope to cut the old
record, Mattern would not state. ITS
darn good record and we will be sat-
isfied to beat it at ALL" he said. But
with such luck as carried them across
the Atlantic in 10 hours and so min
utes last year-an average of 1872 miles
an hour in a plane with 150-mile cruis-
ing speed. they might be able to take
an appreciable slice out of the Post
Gatty time.
Mattern's conference with Col Young
this morning was held to pave the way
for the permits the Department of Com
merce now requires of aviators who in
tend long and dangerous flights. Re-
cent regulations have been put into
effect to prevent unqualified and poorly
equipped flyers from attempting flights
sure to end in disaster.
Because Of his proven ability, and
that Of his companion, Mattern antici-
pates no difficulty in obtaining official
sanction for his project. During his
visit here he will 60 also to the De-
partment of State to make visa and
passport arrangements for all the coun-
tries he will traverse. and then will re-
turn to New York for test flights at
Floyd Bennett Airport.
Will Alternate at Controls.
Griffin and Mattern will alternate at
the {, ntrols on their flight, and ar
rangement which they hope will give
them an advantage over Post and
Gatty. one of whom stuck. to plotting
and the other navigation. The Mat
tern-G Griffin flight will be equipped for
meteorological and other scientific OBJ
servation, but will have the speed rec
ord as its main object.
The longest hop of the trip will be
from Irkutsk. Siberia, to Nome, Alaska,
a distance of 3,1OO miles over rough,
mountainous and wooded country
where the chances of getting down
safely in case Of trouble are almost
non existent.
