THAT CUSTOMS CIRCULAR.
A Copy Sent to the Senntc-Mr. Vests
Resolution.


Responding to a resolution of inquiry,
the Secretary of the Treasury today sent
to the Senate a copy of the circular letter
sent to customs officers instructing them to
delay liquidation of all entries subject to
change OF rates required by law
The circular owes its origin to the retro
active section Of the tariff bill. but the
Secretary. while admitting this fact, says
that the circular was issued under existing
law and that 1t relates solely to certain
proceedings Of the customs officers which
do not in any manner obstruct the entry
OF imported merchandise and the payment
of duties. nor abridge the rights of i'm
porters.
He adds THE delay in the final Iiquida-
tion of entries was directed for prudential
reasons and is a measure which, while
1t may inure to the advantage of the gov
ernment, does not impair the convenience
and interest of the importers"
Senator Vest introduced a resolution de-
claring this order of the Secretary to be
without authority of law and in viola
ton of the statutes and customs reguIa-
tions governing the payment Of import
duties at the ports of entry where the
same may be collected"
The resolution went over for future con-
Sfderation.
