WOULD PROTECT DYE INDUSTRY BY TARIFF LAW Tariff Commissioner Culbert -4 son Makes Address Before Chemical Society Buffalo, April B.—Enactment of tariff and unfair competition laws to protect essential and desirable chemical industries, such as tlio manufacture of dye stuffs, de veloped during the war, was favored by William S. Culbertson, member of the United States Tariff Commis ton, in an address ho delivered .here to-day before the American Chemical Society. Mr. Oubertson said he regarded the coal-tar in dustry' as a "clear ease deserving of legislative help." The tariff commissioner said he had not regarded with favor the plan adopted by Great Britain to provide state aid for her dye indus try and an embargo on dyes, ex cept where importations were P 01 '" milted under special licenses. "The alternative." said Mr. Culberson, "is a tariff which will equalize with a fair margin the. conditions of com petition between this country and abroad. The rise of the dve indus try has given a new significance to the "infant industry" argument for | the tariff. In many places of re search and engineering, this indus- i try in the United Slates is in the ex perimental stage. The selling of Ger man patents by the alien property < custodian is of great assistance, but we are not as yet in a position to compete on an equality with the old. well-established concerns abroad. Many important and much needed dyes are not yet being made In tlie | United States. Is Entitled to Help. "During its development even tlie rdvocate of free trade would ndnii' that the new Industry is entitled to legislative consideration. A tariff designed to maintain American in dustries should he supplemented with laws carefully devised to pre vent unfair attacks on tliem which ; a tariff, unless it is prohibitive, af- ! fords no safeguard. A reasonable j tariff and adequate legislation I against dumping and other unfair j practices go together." Mr. Culbertson said there were | grounds for concern in unfair com- j petition, commercial bribery, decep tive labelling and other practices di- I rected by individuals in foreign , countries beyond the jurisdiction of American courts. He declared that ii law enacted in I!H'3, made it crim inal to dump goods systematically into the United States with the in tent of destroying, or prevcntinpi Ihe establishment of American in- | dustry. This law, lie said, should 1-e so amended as to cover, not only such Intentional unfair arts of for eign competitors, but also "all sell ing in the United States at prices be low those that prevailed generally i rffcrond." When an American pro- 1 ducer is injured, he added, it makes no difference to him what tlie in tent of the foreign rival is. Opposes Dumping "The criminal provisions of the; law," said tlie commissioner, "should i be supplemented by a law which ; would authorize the President to 1 levy by proclamation additional du-' tv on goods which are being sys tematically dumped into the United states or to prohibit their importa- . tion in case he has reason to be lieve that the result will be to injure, destroy or prevent the establishment of an American industry. The law might also be made to cover unfair practices such as full-line forcing and deceptive labelling." Germans Demand Fresh Consignments of Food Paris.
