ItSe OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREGON. FRIDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 10, 1020 TARIFF BARS ( ARE BIG NEED ; Restoration of Principle of r Trade Protection is Dif- ficult Task it ! NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-r-Tariff revision to restore 'he principle 'Of protection for American ifndus ;trles forms a task bedRd; about jwlth so many new problems diffi cult 6i solution that no early ac Jtlon Tjjr congress i to be expected. Representative N cholas ,Long i worth, Ohio, member of the honss ( van and means committee de clared tonight in addressing the j academy of political sciences, j .T "I sincerely hope that I ! am ' j;wrong." Mr. Longworth declared,.1 "and that during the extra session L.yre will be able to complete a thorough and scientific revision i. of the tariff laws but l am bound ; ti to confess that so far as I can ; ' now see into the future, the pros-; , ".ract 1 decidedly hazy." E Chief among the problems to be confronted, he placed deter mination of the attitude of the United States toward assisting ia the economic rehabilitation of the gutters associated with .t ia the world war. Such aid should be extended, he said, but never "at the sacrifice of American indus v nd',Dendence." trough throwing down the tariff bars to Citing President Wilson's pro posals to congress a year ago, Mr. Longworth said the enactment in to law "of such a doctrine would bring absolute disaster to Amer- ....Kip.aj; i"1t1BtrV." Tt wax true, lie said, that the war i i,a j ti.aiiii..'u :co.-taiUuu ana that ' a fnvorab'e trade balance, former- ly a "feather in our cap," was now : perhaps a liability rather than an ; itffi Mace it nad reached an ag I gregate of nearly nine bill on dou j for the vears 1918. 1919 and 1920, up to September.. ' Uu: thev : iiare changed," , he ."died, "to Bucb an extent that we ought to abandon all tha stand f ids end policies of the past and, forgetting our home market, enter into a mad icramble for the world's market.'' ' ,1 Mr. Longviqrth 'added that it was doubtful whether throwing open American markets to aid Great Britain, France, Italy andj, rielgium rehabilitate themselves 1 t and discharge their debt" to the 1 ' United States would accomplish i . its purpose. Those nations, he said, had high4abor costs com pared to some other foreign pow ers, and the latter probably would capture American markets if bar riers were removed. If it should j be found wise to extend preferences to the debtor nations, Mr. Ixng worth said, "so far as tariffs are concerned, it seems to me that there is but one practical way to bring it about and that is through the medium of separate, reciprocal trade agreements. "As to whether this would be a wise policy, I am not prepared to say." aft Last Day "The Silent Barrier STARTING TOMORROW I 0 Japan Ready to Hand to China Shantnng GENEVA. Dec. 9. JJaron Hay hi, the Japanese ambassador to Oreat .Britain and head of the Japanese delegation to the league o nations assembly, informed the correspondent tonight, that Japan srtMnc rady to hand back the province of Shantung to China ;ut was ii liable to ret China, tor open negotiations. He added that the only condition China makes Is that Kiao Chau shall remain open to foreign trade. 'But how can it be arranged ir China will not talk?" he asked. Baron Hayashi thought that . i rpTn-iai to neeotite ws j due to the fact that public opin ! Ion had been falsified by the xnll j . a ry party, tie declared nims-t il , aa well Impressed by the work iof the league assembly. He had confidence in the league, but pointed out that the most Inter esting questions had not yet been taken np and would not come up until the United States and Ger many "were members. Disarmament, he believed, will furnish a lively session if the. anient is a 1 eeneral thought. h ! said, but some 'powers, including his own. . are increasing - their naval forces of course not with a view to' aggression but rather to promote peace. Baron Hayashi remarked that the Japanese delegation had re frained from! bringing up any questions of a sensational nature at the assembly. I ."ttOttE TQ.OTH THAtO FtCTCOtJ- j I FPKHIUV.

"Particularly painTul It would be to see fraternal blood spilled without result.

Victor Ber get Case Given Supreme Court Hearing WASHINGTON'. Dec. 9 Argu ments were heard by the supreme court today on the appeal of Vie tor Bergr. editor of the Milwau xee leader and twice elected to congress from Wisconsin on the Socialist t'eket. from his convic tion under the espionage - art. Counsel for Hrger also presented briefs y and arguments in support of their petition that the entire case be dismissed and prosecution abated on the ground that Federal Judge Landis who presided at the trial' was prejudiced against so cialism. The appeal in behalf of Mr. Derger was based on the conten tion1 that the war with Germanv had been formally and legally ter minated with the passage by con gress of the joint peac resolution later vetoed by President Wilson and that the espionage act was repealed through the sam? enactment.
