OTHER NATIONS MAY RETALIATE ON U. S. TARIFF Countries of Europe and America Preparing Rates Against United States. 30 PER CENT INCREASE WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.—A ware of Indignation against the emergency tariff which soon will result In retaliatory duties against American goods and 4ommoditle* la sweeping all countries of Europe and South America, according to reports received at the Commerce Department. In Argentina a bill has been introduced In Parliament authorizing what would amount to Increases of from 30 to 00 per cent on a majority of American goods. In Canada a general election Is about to be staged partly on the question of a retaliatory tariff. Despite the agitation, the emergency tariff seems to have had little effect as yet on Imports lnte the United States, although It has been In effect since the latter part of May. Commerce Department reports show In August imports of many agricultural products Increased instead of declined. Canada, for instance. In August shipped to the United States 233.556 bushels of wheat, or nearly 70,000 bushels more than last year. MANY SHIT MY NTS ARB DECREASED. Canada's total exports to the United States, mainly agricultural. Increased during July, as compared with June, by nearly $500,000. June was the first full month during which the emergency tariff was effective. Brazil Increased her shipments to this country $500,000 during July, while those of Argentina soared nearly a like amount. Some heavy decreases were experienced ; but whether the emergency tariff was mainly responsible, officials hesitate to say. Exports from Cuba, for instance, fell off about $3,000,000. Mexican exports to the United States fell off about $1,200,000 or 1 per cent. Taking Into consideration all North American countries, the decrease was about $7,000,000, or approximately 13 per cent. PRESIDENT GITEN POWER TO MODIFY. The bill gives the President power to modify duties on goods originating in countries which make reasonable tariff rates on the following articles from Argentina; Cereals, hides, wool, live stock and subsidiary products of agriculture. Theee are the products which Argentina ships to the United States. Under the modification clause the Argentina executive could relieve from paying these advanced duties all countries except the United States. Although Argentina Is the only conntry In which the tariff increases are plainly retaliatory, duties are being raised in most European countries In such a way that American inanufactured products would be hard hit In France duties are being increased In direct proportion to the Increase in the values of commodities compared with 1914. In England tariffs are being raised mainly with a view to projecting home Industries against German competition. But the United States Is being hit directly. In Italy and Spain new tariff schedules are being worked out.—Copyright by Public Ledger Company. LOS ANGELES WEST COAST WONDER CITY (Continued From Page One.) whose sales territory covers from the Mississippi, to the Hawaiian Islands, declared his business showed a 40 per cent Increase for the first six months of this year, and another 40 per cent Increase since they had compelled him to Increase bis force of workers and he was about to Increase It again. The biggest- wholesale gTocer said his business, thus far ibis year, was 35 per cent greater in teenage, and 20 per cent in money than for the same period last year. 12.000 EMPLOYED IN TEXTILE MILLS. About 12.000 persons are employed In textile mills In and around Los Angeles. The statement from the mill owner* Is that business 1* good, very good. Sales are restricted, some of them say, by Inability to produce as much as required. One big manufacturer says he has had to withdraw some salesmen from the road because it was Impossible to fill orders. Bankers say Los Angeles Is In excellent shape financially. Bank clearings show 16 per cent Increase over last year, with a constantly ascending scale. Los Angeles banks finance anything, as one banker, puts It, from soup to nuts—the eoup being canned, and the nuts—walnuts and the like going In the shell. Unlike eastern financial institutions, those hereabout are not seasonal—not lending on ninety-day paper, but on the crop. The banks had some frozen loans a little time back —loans made to cotton growers, but the sensational advance in the fleecy staple thawed those loans overnight. Today the banks have some money tied np in cattle loans, which they are likely to bold for many months to come, but otherwise they are flourishing. There is a tremendous canning industry here In fish and fruits. This was In had shape last year, and for the first quarter of this year. It looked as If the world had quit eating canned stuff and the fish and fruit people, and the bankera too, were going to have very heavy losses. They had these losses last year, hut there has been a sharp recovery In rsnned goods In the last ninety days, and the surplus has been as absorbed as ethers, and prices are considerably better. SHIP BUILDERS MEET REVERSES. Ship builders are among those who cannot eay business la good. Shipbuilder here practically was unknown before the war. Not only that, but nobody cnew Los Anreles as a port. In 1317 ihlp building started. About the same time, or earlier, operators began on tbe naklng of barbor.

City of Angels do not stop at anything, and tho Los Angeles River dumped water and sand—almost ss much of ous as the other—lnto the indented spot on the coast lino where vessels with cargoes for Los Angeles anchored off shore . The people diverted the alleged river to an other point on the crast, and then they started to make a harbor of their own Also they built a ship canal to fit their town, their harbor, and their commerce for years to come. Rivals Joke about the “Port of Los Angeles." The Joke is on them, for Los Angeles la getting the business and has a big ocean commerce. Ship building under such conditions would seem to bo odd, but three big concerns which didn’t start driving a stake for their plants until late in 1917 have built some mighty goo<* ships at Loj Angeles. The South W.-wtern Ship Building Company, turned out thirty vessels of 8,000 tons, and five of 11,000 tons. Baker's yard turned out thirty-five fine ships, and Craig’s a goodly fleet. Today ship building is reduced to oil tankers, so

the prospects for theee war bo hies le bad. There lea big business here in clay products. The people in these lines say that for the first nine months of this year they hare done S3 1-8 per cent more business than for the 12 months of 1920. 3,700 PLANTS IN THE CITY. All told thre are 3,700 industrial establishments in Los Angeles. Included In this number are forty foiuwlries, eeveral rolling mills, and scores of plants making lathes, oil well machinery, pumps, castings, mining machinery, etc. There are three open hearth steel mills, together with a rubber tire plant that covers many acres, and so many factories of huge size as to sn/prlse the visitor. Los Angeles boasts it makes everything from a spike to a locomotive, that a raUroad uses, that it is at the head of the list of not a few industries, and that it will be at the head of a lot of more before the country wakes up to what a young giant there is in Southern California. There Is nothing glow about the An-

gels, when It comes to tooting their horn, but what a lot they have to toot about Here Is the center of the motion picture business of the world. The weekly pay roll of the plants in Hollywood averages $500,000. That only begins to cover the exependlture locally. The motion picture Industry Is peculiar in that it Is almost wholly all the stuff used In s production, and must le destroyed oecause It Is useless for another picture. That means a constant buying of material by the producers from local suppliers and this ranges from hardware to the most expensive gowns. HOW INDFSTRIKS OF LOB ANGELES HANK. Os Loe Angeles’ industries, with a production last year in excess of $20,000,000, here is how they rank: Moving pictures, $100,000,000. Petroleum, $92,005,276. Meat packers, $46,504,700. Canneries, fish and vegetables, $29,042,800.

Food products, miscellaneous, $43,689,503. Wearing apparel, $40,607,328. Iron and steel, $44,340,850. Machinery nnd machine shops, $27,909,872. Autos, trucks, parts, etc., $30,440.516. Printing and publishing, $36,382,911. Cement, brick, clay products, $24,$24,928. Lumber, planing mills, etc., $20,773,636. Chemicals and soaps, $20,595,868. Shipbuilding, $40,170.00. Miscellaneous, $34,501,725. When any one asks a Los Angeles man if the growth of this wonder city is sound, the answer is something like this: “We have everything there is in nearly States that we can draw upon if we need it, but we do not. Wo have the largest production of oil In America, but in addition we have hydro-electrics, a larger development than In any other part of America, and with millions more of horse power, to develop. We nave oil

wells here in town, and thousands of them which w stopped pumping. We have the most remarkable agricultural development in the Western world, with fruits and vegetables in vast volume, which we market the Nation over. We have a great industrial establishment. Wa have an Influx of wealth such as no other city in America, possibly of the world, knows. Rich men come here to pass their declining years. Enterprising wen of active years come here because of tbe unusual opportunities. Workers come here because the acquisition of a home with flowers and fruits and vegetables is within the easy range of a worker’s earnings.” That’s what they say. What's more, that's what they are telling to the people of America, through their Chamber of Commerce, wheih is one of the most efficient in the United States, and the city ia growing remarkably because of It.— Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.
