Washington. January a. Senator
Carmack today submitted a minority
report from the committee on the
Philippine tariff bill. It says that
opposition to the measure is not
based on any mere question OF reyc'
nue. or theory concerning forms and

the bill violates constitutional rights
and transcends the limits Of constl-
tutional power. The objection Of the
minority Is to the whole policy OF
