Chlrago Trlbuna-Oranlia Ilea Leaaed Hire. Washington, Jan. 16. Reciprocity ' is being seriously considered by leading members of, congress, as the best underlying principle for the new tariff law. Strong sentiment Sot a reciprocal tariff basis, has already been shown by numerous witnesses appearing be fore the ways and means committee in, the tariff hearings and it is being advocated by senators and members of the house who have been giving the subject special attention. Representative Longworth of Ohio, a member of the ways and means committee, in a recent speech, urged very strongly that in arrang ing the new tariff schedules, pro vision should be made for reciprocal , tariff relations with other " nations. Senator Edge of New Jersey has made a similar plea, stating that pro hibitive tariff rates at this time would be an invitation to other nations to retaliate with prohibitive rates against American 'products. Consider World Conditions. T . Senator Penrose, chairman of the finance committee, which will have reviewing power over the house tar- iff bill, is known to be leaning to ward the theory of reciprocal tariff , concessions. He . has said, that the new tariff law must be framed in ac cord with new world conditions, and that the export business of the Unit cd States must be considered in con- ncction with the establishment of du ties for protection of the domestic market. ; '" Opposing this view, however, is ' Representative Fordney of Michigan, chairman of the ways and means committee, who favors a tariff wall that will shut out foreign products.. Mr. Fordney has said during the re cent tariff hearings, that he would rather sacrifice the, money owed the L'nited States by foreign powers than to have the debts paid through admission of imports .which would ! injure American industries. May Dominate Committee. It is very probable that Mr. Ford ney's old protectionist views will v dominate the ways and means com mittee bill to a considerable extent, but in the senate also are men op- .rinser? -In u i cnlltnrw rCrf .njsi;...; ; - which would promulgate rates di signed on a oasis of Ignoring the , trade with other nations -- - V Within the last week two great industries were represented before' the ways and means committee as advocating reciprocal provisions in the new. tariff law.

Representa tive Longworth and Senator Edge, contending that tariff views formerly held by the party should be modi fied to meet new conditions result ing from the world war. which not only caused the United States to loan large sums of money to other nations, but opened foreign markets for American goods previously in- accessible." Urge New System. The advocate of reciprocal tariffs stand for protection for American N industries where it is most needed, but believe that a carefully worked but system of reciprocal duties, should be placed :n effect as a mo of making it possible, both for foi eign nations to pay their debts to this country and also for American manufacturers to .sell thair good- abroad without fear of 'retaliation in the wiy of prohibitory duties. : The reciorocal arrancemenf ttrvcA by some of the lumber manufactur ers lias special reference to the Cana dian situation. - The automobile man ufacturers, however", in advocating reciprocal tariffs, also had in mind France and other foreign nations whoch have shown a disposition to retaliate against American automo biles because -of duties now existing in this country. In the case of both the lumber manufacturers and auto mobile makers, their industries are. not in great need of protection from imports and bmh-are anxious to de ' velop their export markets.
