to investigate the administrative and
fiscal effects of the customs laws OF
this country, relations between the
rates of duty on raw materials and
finished products. effects of ad va
loren and of special duties, all ques-
lions relative to the arrangement OF
schedules and classification of articles
in the law and to put all information
in it's possession at the disposal of
