the power 20 declare a tariff war
against any nation or to refrain from
| any such war.
II is given to him to decide whether
any nation Is discriminating against
the United States i'm its system of du.
ties. This permits the government,
through the state department and the
other agencies provided by law, to
make agreements with other nations
as TO trade and tariff concessions
which can be made effective by a
proclamation of the president without
the necessity of anything in the way
Of legislation or treaty agreement.
In this way the delay can be OBJ

The bill. It is explained. authorizes
the president to employ at his discre.
tion any persons to secure information
or assist him in the discharge Of these
duties which would mean that he can
appoint commissioners representing
the United States TO go abroad and
make agreements with foreign ma.
