THli ANTI DUMPING ACT.
Republican leaders in the senate
and house are said tc have agreed
upon what is called an anti-dumping
act for the protection of American
markets from a flood of foreign-made
goods, and if tne measure is approved
by President Harding it will likely be
passed by congress soon after it con
venes on April 11.
Two measures, in fact, will prob
ably be necessary to give the desired
protection until a new tariff bill can
be adopted by congress. One will
provide that no foreign goods shall
be sold in this country at a price less
than that in the place of origin, and
the other will stipulate that customs
duties shall be calculated in terms of
American dollars, instead of on the
value in foreign exchange.
Republican leaders indicate by tin
decision to defer tariff legislation that
problems involved are different from
those of other years, and considerable
time will be required to work out
schedules that will provide the max
imum of revenue without interfering
adversely with the export trade of
the United States.
Agitation for a temporary tarifi
measure to be effective until the
whole subject can be given considera
tion is perhaps not as strong as it
was a few weeks ago, and the gen
eral impression seems to be that the
purposes sought can be obtained by
protecting American markets against
the dumping of foreign goods and tak
ing more time tj; readjustment o
tariff schedules.
SEEKING OPPORTUNITY.
One-half of the immigrants arriving
at U. S. ports are women, and a large
proportion of them are under 30 years
of age. Before the war less than 30
of each 100 Immigrants were of the
female sex.
These unmarried women are in
search of the opportunities offered in
this great republic, and it is suspect
ed that one of the opportunities not
overlooked is the possibility of mar
riage. Even before tr-.e war Europe
had an excess of female population.
The war aggravated the situation
greatly. In France alone it is esti
mated there are a million women for
whom there are no possible mates.
What is true of France is true of all
the countries decimated by the war.
It is natural that many of these wo
men who experienced tfc\S depriva
tions and sorrows inflicted by the war
should desire to get away to a land
which offers more than is possible in
the place of their nativity.
Taking the United States as a whole
the census figures show that there
are 106 males to loo remaps. In the
east the numbers are reversed, but in
the west the disparity is much great
er.
Since the armistice 500,000 women
hgve come from Europe; at present
they are arriving at the rate of 1,300.
a day. If half of these are unmarried
it will be seen that the supply of pos
sible wives for unmarried men is ac
cumulating japidly. But if these young
unmarried women Co not marry they
moy supply a want that is definite,
the relief of the scarcity of domestic
help, and in that they might do fully
