WILSON OPPOSES
TARIFF TINkERING
At NEXT session

Washington, Aug. 2S.-With the
possible exception of the sugar sche-
Guile, President Wilson will oppose
any revision of the tariff at the COM
IDS session of congress-.
He has told Senator S.mons, Rep
resentative Kitchen and other con-
gressional leaders, that the present
tariff law has not had fair chance
to show what it cna do. He believes
it should be retained with only minor
changes.
Even on the question of sugar, the

Jig made by the agricultural depart
| ment.
