CABINET TEXTILE

Processing Tax as Con-
troversy Grows.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Textile interests looked today to a
special Cabinet Committee to study
the complications disturbing one OF
the country,s greatest industries-but
they were far from discarding their
desire for more immediate action by
the Government.
Naming of the committee by the
President was one Of the high points
of a busy week for those engaged
in a drive to end the cotton process
ing tax and to raise the tariff walls
against japanese imports.
The A. A. A., meanwhile. continued
to defend the processing tax. Chester
C. Davis, farm administrator. declared
last night its abolition would not
chance -the nails, position "one iota. Z"
'What the textile interests are say
ing" he declared at another point
in his remarks, rs that they don't
want to pay the farmer a reasonable
price"
Demand Fair Chance"
A demand that Massachusetts and
New England be given "a fair fight
ing chance in this industrial war We
are now facing" came from Gov.
Curley Of Massachusetts,.
Let US give the American people
q chance to transfer from welfare
rolls to pay rolls" he said in q
speech at Boston. Put Americans
back to work by buying only Amer
ican-made goods"
The action of President Roosevelt
In designating Secretaries Hull. Wal
lace, Roper and Perkins to study the
| problems presented by the processing
tax. wage diffelentials and imports
brought this response from Senator
| Walsh, Democrat. of Massachusetts,:
| "All sections of the industry have
been in accord that the present bar
riers were the processing tax and the
rapid increase in Japanese importa-
tons.
Il am still hopeful that these prob
lens may be dealt with Immediately,
for. unless these barriers are removed.
the extensive investigation proposed
the recent threatened collapse of the
entire industry, both North and
South.''
| Presidents Statement.
In naming the Cabinet Committee,
Mr.. Roosevelt said attention would be
given to the relation of the processing
tax to the present situation.
He added there would be considera-
ton also of the possibility of offering
some other means by which the tax
could be levied with greater effective
ness and less disturbance to the in
dustry.
The President also disclosed that he
had asked an analysis of the physical
conditions of textile plants to deter
mine the degree of obsolescence of
machinery and whether it was a fac
tor in the present condition of the
industry.
Meanwhile, with many of the New
England congressional textile spokes-
men prepared to 60 home for the
Easter holidays, the scheduled biparti-
san interview of House members with
the President next week commanded
attention.
The interview, during which the
President will be apprised of congress
sional viewpoints on the textile prob
lem. is to take place at the White
House Monday or Tuesday.
