‘ WASHINGTON, May 24—Formal
announcement was made to the House
}mday by Chairman Fordney, of the
ways and means committee, that
!there would be a general revision of
“the tariff law, In making the an
; nouncement Fordney said: °
i “] learned yesterday that the rail
road administration has decided,
without consulting any other branch
of the Government, to reduce freight
‘rates on foreign imports entering this
‘country on the Pacific coast and go
‘lng to the Atlantic coast.
“Freight rates on foreign imports
‘ especially from the Orient, will be re
'duced from $2.70 per ton to $2 per
ton on less than carload lots and
from $1.67 1-2 per ton on carload
lots to $1.50 epr ton on carload lots,
This reduction was requested by im
!porters of foreign made goods, and
‘not by domestic producers.
~ ““This is a reduction in every sense
of our present tariff rates on import
ed goods. It Is another way of get
ting at lower import duties. It ap
plies to all kinds of competitive com
modities from Japan and China. Our
tariff rates are down to the lowest
ad valorem rates charged by any
country. They are a fraction below
5 per cent ad valorem below those of
China.”
