"The proclamation of tariff law
would be monstrous," declared AM

he returned to America still hopeful
of some satisfactory arrangement.
The subject will engage the atten-
ton of the new board appointed by the
president to advise with him particu-
larly regarding the maximum and
minimum features of the new tariff
law.
