Over hauling of rates In the Fordney tariff bill will be necessary In or der to permit Its effective admin istration, the .senate finance com mittee was told today by George C. Davis, chief of the comparative values bureau in the New York customs house. Mr. Davis de clared further that If congress adopted the American valuation plan of levying import duties even more radical changes In the rates would have to follow. The American valuation plan as a substitute for the present sys tem of assessing duties on foreign values was attacked by the cus toms official who saw in It the cause for "unending litigation and a general tying up of the importing business." He . added that, as drawn, some of the rates In the bill, administered on an American valuation basis, meant a "positive prohibition" of importations. He did not,, however, enumerate the commodities of which he spoke. Effect. Not Known. Mr. Davis said that no one knew what the effect of the change would be and predicted It would take years to learn, whereas the customs service with nearly SO years of experience under the present plan had back of it court ruling, accepted business prac tices and a, generally stable foun datlon upon which to work. All of this would be lost in the change. he declared, and another era of litigation gone through before cor rect interpretation could .be had of the bill's provisions. Mr. Davis said there would be an .increase in amount of work placed on the customs service by the new duty basis, informing the committee that tt "would require that ' every package entering cus toms would have to be examined. At present, he said, insoectors ex amine only about 10 per cent of the imports. Examination of all would be required, he asserted, by the bill's provisions calling for valuations on a comparative or competitive basis. Chairman Fen rose said he saw need for an army of men In assessing the duties un der the plan. The - committee also heard Thomas O. Marvin and William 8. Culbertson, members of the tariff commission, each of whom favored the American valuation plan. IS FOUVD ALIVE. (By The Associated Prtii) Calgary, Alberta,. July- 26. Mrs. Stone, wife of Dr. W. B.

It Is the most significant step that has been taken to meet the ailments of business since the fourth or March. The President is suggesting a broad policy which Is In a sense a reversal of Republican policy of a year ago but which has been mad necessary to developments and circumstances. When th war ended, the Republican congress put an end to the war finance cor poration and the cry everywhere was to take the government out of th hjanklnff business.
