ROOSEVELT'S TARIFF MESSAGE NOW EXPECTED

Washington, To-day.

In addition to the new financial appointments of the United States Farm Administrator, Mr. Peck, who is to head the new im port and export bank to assist American trade with Russia, will retain his position as foreign trade adviser. He will thus occupy well-nigh dictatorial an- thority in foreign trade,

In the light of Mr. Peck's de claration, yesterday evening, that agriculture must be restored "to its proper position in the na- tion's life, it is clear that the Administration intends to sub- ordinate the interests of industry to those of agriculture.

This will involve many tarif modifications, and it is expected that President Roosevelt's long awafted tariff message will be Isent to Congress within the next few days, around which a real battle between the industrial and the agricultural interests will be waged,
