Is Confident Of Passage.
The President still is confident that
the Senate will pass the tariff bill in
substantially the same form as it passed
the House, despite the efforts of the
sugar lobby. He will not admit that
there Is basis for the assertions OF the
domestic cane and beet sugar growers
that their industry will be ruined by
the Administration tariff bill. which
provides for free sugar within three
years. He holds the objections raised
by the Porto Rico sugar industries to
be equally baseless. The great 9t-se OF
the tariff. the President told q recent
caller, Is that II let's everything DRIFT
and rest on the oars, and that II takes
away from the grower and refiner the
incentive for improving his process. He
believes that better methods of raising
and handling the product are needed
more than a tariff, and he has impressed
Congressional leaders with his convic-
ton that the reduced tari fon sugar
and other agricultural products as well,
win not seriously affect these Industries
II they improve their methods OF han
ding the products. The President holds
that there is nothing SO backward as
the organization of agriculture as a
business.
To Consider Currency Bill.
The President believes that the tarin
bill Is certain of passage in form
which he can approve by signing the
measure. Acting on this belief, he 10
said to have planned to devote much
of his time this week to improving the
tentative draft of the currency bill.
