PRESIDENT HITS JAPAN ANOTHER SWAT; TARIFF ON CRAB MEAT RAISED

HYDE PARK, N. Y., Aug. - President Roosevelt ordered a 50 percent increase in the tariff on imported crab meat from Japan, which is the chief source of SUD- ply.
 The proclamation made no men tion of Japan, specifically, how ever.
 The proclamation declared the duties on imported crab meat shall be raised from Is to 2212 percent ad valorem and further states the increase is necessary to equalize differences in cost of production elsewhere which has been determined by invastiga- tion of the Tariff Commission.
 The tariff in crab meat ap- plies to meat prepared or preserv ed in any manner, including raw crab, paste crab or sauce, packed in air-tight containers.
 While the proclamation is an innocent looking document on the surface it constitutes a link in the chain of economic mea- sures against Japan.
