EMERGENCY TARIFF
OR 1-YEAR EMBARGO
TO HELP FARMERS
Would Apply to Wheat,
Cotton, Wool, Potatoes
and Live Stock.
BEGIN ACTUAL DRAFTING
OF MEASURE LATE IN DAY
Subject of Rates to Be Embod-
led Not Discussed at
Conference.
lRy Associated Press.

WASIIiEGTON, Dec. 1T.-Coneres-
sional leaders decided today that tho
way out Of the maze of farmcr-rclier
bills was enactment OF an emergency
tariff 10 run for one year and to act
as an embargo against importations.
II would apply to wheat. cotton, wool.
beans, potatoes. live stock and meats.
Agreement Of the Legislative lead
crs WAS reached at Il joint conference
OF members or the Senate Finance and
House Ways and Means Committee. at
which the determination also was
reached tc press the proposed meas
urc TO speedy passage. Actual draft
ing OF the bill was started late in
the day by members OF the Ways and
Means Committee.
Much discussion was evoked in tho
conference relative TO :, choice be-
tween fiat embargo and high tariff
but the House leaders held out against
the employment OF a ban on importa-
tions in peace time. urging that the
aSe-old custcm OF no cmbargocs cN-
cept in time of war be followed. SEN
ate members OF the conference de-
clared that an embargo measure
would be put through their branch
of Congress lrore easily than high
tariff bill. but they finally assured the
House conferecs that they would use
all of their influence tc push the
measure through as soon as 1t was
received from the House.
Rates Not Discussed.
The subject Of the rates to be en-
bodied in the tariff measure was not
directly discussed ut the conference.
Members OF the House committee
which will craft the bill. were in
formed that the rates would be left
entirely to them and that whatever
they were abIe to have passed by the
House the Senate conferees, would
try to keep intact Explanation was
made that the reason the conference
attempted no decision on rates was
that such a discussion might have
resulted In breach and the de-
struction OF the whole program.
The suggestion was understood to
have been made by Democratic MEM
bcrs Of the conference that they seek
an expression of views OF the Prcsi-
dent with respect to the relief tariff.
Republicans, however. strongly op-
posed such n move, the contention be-
ing made that it would net be known
whether the bill could be passed un-
Ill the final roll call, and, further.
that the measure might not go TO the
President in the form now proposed.
a tentative bill by Representative
Greene. Republican, Iowa, has been
practically accepted as the basis for
the measure for which early passage
will be sought. The Ways and Means
Committee probably will take il up
early next week, although several
members began work on il mme-
Giately.

iives attended today's conference.
