GOOD OLD, RAD OLD DAYS
Government Expert Shows
H ow American Valuation
W ould Remove Unfair Cus­
tom s Discrimination.*
Under the American valuation plan,
aa proposed in the Fordney Tariff bill,
an equalizing effect upon the com­
merce of the United States with all
nations with which we trade would
be one of the first and most desirable
results, according to William Bur­
gess, member of the United States
Tariff Commission.
A similar article sold in Japan at
50 cents, in Germany at €0 cents, In
England for $1, under the present for­
eign valuation plan means, at a tariff
rate of 60 per cent, that Japan would
have to pay 26 cents In doty, Ger­
many 30 cents and England 50 cents.
Under the proposed American valua­
tion, Mr. Burgess points out that the
Importation of this article would
cause each of the exporting countries
to pay exactly the same amount of
duty, regardless of cost of production.
Thus, he shows, the present discrim­
ination in favor of low-cost countries
would be removed. This also would
result in helping our debtor nations
to pay their debts to us. Our debtor
nations are Great Britain, France and
Italy.
—
“How are we going to help these
nations to pay their debts by charging
them a greater amount of duty than

we charge Germany and Japan?” Mr.
Burgess asks.
