PHILIPPINES TARIFF GIVES
 PROBLEM TO UNITED STATES

ASHIN TON, DC. - The Philippine islands have dropped into the lap of the state depart ment a tariff problem that may re- quire all the fine graces of diplo- macy to solve. In a nutshell, lead CTS in the islands want the United States to approve their higher tar ifs for foreign goods entering the islands.
 The idea is to salvage American markets in the islands and curb Japanese trade inroads there. Long cables outlining the proposed tar if bill arrived in Washington We'd nesday.
 Approval by the United States is desired before the bill is put through the island legislature. It is the beginning of an attempt to preserve the free trade between the United States and the Philippines after the islands become indepen- dent.
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull must face the Japanese viewpoint which is bound to be critical if the bill goes through the island legis- lature. If it does not, business in- terests eager to increase American sales to Filipinos are apt to be dis pleased
 Quick action by the Philippine legislature to increase tariffs to protect American goods in the is lands from Japanese and other com potion was seen last week when Governor General Frank Murphy approved a tentative draft of the measure.
