They want thc public to underatand

Department during the administra

if why the Central American court
set up by Elihu Koot to bring the
petty qunryels and revolutions in that
oart of the world lo an end was dis
lontinued a year and a half ago.
They want to know if the decision
of that court against the United States
and in favor of Salvador and Costa

Nicaraftuan treaty should not, bes con
summated, had anything to do with its
discoritinuance, virtually nt the cora

When the Senate reconvepes, Sen?

virtually declaring the sense of the
Senate to be that President Tinoco
of Costa Rica should be recognized.
ln the House of Representat ives Rep?
resentative Norman J. Could, of New

of fight that Mr. Moses intends to
make in the upper house. Mr. Could
introducod a resolution just before

the relations between the United
State1' and Costa Rica. This resolu?

WASHINGTON, March 23.?Ex
cerpts of letters received from Demo?
cratic national committeemen ex
prcssing sympathy with the anti-Clark
movement in the House, were made
public to-day. by the reorganization
committee. lt was announced by Vice
1 chairman Ayres, of Kansas, that other
committeemen had approved the plan
to bring the House organization in ac
cord with President Wilson, but had
asked that their names bc withheld for
the present.
An unsolicitcd letter received from
Fenton E. Luckett, a lawyer, of Jef
ferson City, Mo., declaring "Miasouri
Democracy wanta to sce a leader who
ia in harmony with the Administra?

his usefulness," was inciuded in let?
ters made public.
Mr. Luckett said: "F notice from
the Washington dispatches that the
Democratic reorganization committee
will not continue Mr. Champ Clark as
the floor leader of the minority in tho
hext Congress. This is as it should
be, and I nm of the opinion that the
MlsSOurl Democracy will indorse tho
action of your committee.
"A large mimher of Democrats in
this stato think Mr. Clark has outlived

overwliolmlng majority of them do not
Indorae hia attlture toward Mr. Wilson.

Republican protcctionists. working
with the cooperation of Repre?
sentative Giliett, the next Speaker;
Representatives Joseph W. Fordney,
chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, and Frank W. Mondell, of
Wyoming, floor leader, recently have
been investigating the extent to which
Japanese manufactured goods have
entered into competition with home
made products in this and other cities
of the United States. ,
There is nothing new about the pres
ence of Japanese silk products in the
stores of the United States, but the
investigators found plenty of new
products, made within the last year or
two. in local markets. They still are
quietly pursuing their inquiries, and in
due time the Republican leaders in
Congress will have fresh data as a jus
tification for revision of the tariff
3chedules.
It was learned last week that the
?Japanese are making practically all of
the matches used on the Pacific Coast;
that. latterly they are making the
cheapest fountain pens and watch crys
tals and a large and growing per
centage of cotton , hosiery on sale in
many of the local drygoods stores.
To Study Tariff Revision
The protectionists assert that. now
that, the war is over, Japanese goods
will be placed in American markets in
growing vlunio and that close attention
will be given to fraining a tariff sched?
ule that will tenci to keep out Japanese
manufactured goods.
The Treasury Department recently
obtained a copy oi "'ilie Fighteenth Fi?
nancial and Fxonomic Annual of Japan,
1918." compiled by tiie Japanese De?
partment of Finance, Tokio, and printed
by tho Government Printing Office.
It is printed in English, but intended
for distribution only in Japanese gov
j ernmental circlea. A table entitled
"Average Daily Wages of Laborers"
gives figures for ten years. including
1916. The figures show a Japanese
farm laborer receives about, $25 n year,
while n woman farm laborer receives
about $16,
"During the period of the war," said
Representative .Mondell. in discussing
the need for the return to a protec
tive policy. "the necessity of enormous
rovenues rehdered esaential the laying
nf direct taxes ns the principal aource
nf Kedernl income. During the same
period the prohibitior.s, ernbargoes and
war control of InternaHoiinl trade
rendered the question of tariff rates
relutivcly unimportunt
Tariff More Important
"With the coming of peace, the llft
ing or inodlflcatlon of enibargocps, thn
frealng of trade from war-tlme control,
the question of tariff rates not only
resumos th* Importance which has at'
tauhod to It in the past, but becomes
IIncreaslngly Importanl ln vilaw of the
iohanged conditions which have resulted
i from the war.
"S'o ono U Wine eii0ll?h 11, be nble
elearly to foresec tim Intornatlonal
I trade situation of the Immediate
.future, but ii |g quite evldent that ln
,a compmatively short iime Amorlcn
must be prepared for very koen com
I petition along many lines in fact, is
feeling the effect 0f such competition
? now. At tha earlieat possible moment
the question of tariff rates should have,
, and 1 am sure will have, the careful
, consideration of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Representa?
tives. and as soon as it is at all prac
ticable we should begin the develop?
ment of a tariff policy titting the c.on
1 dition which the return of peace
? brings.
I "I do not anticipate any serious diffi
1 culty in the carrying out of such a
: programme along souna protective
lines. In the first place the war has
emphasized*the necessity of economic
: independence as far as practicable; be
yond that the importance of keeping
the industries of the country going
and our people employed ia so patent
j that I expect a very general public
; indorsement of a return to a sound and
sane protective policy."
