gestions on that question which he has
already made to congress. The President
has favored protection for infant indus
fries and others whose economic relation
ship to the tariff question has been dis
turbed by war but ne has by no means /
indicated that he would sanction the kind
of a tariff bill which the Republicans |
would put before him.

would take practically all of a session Of
congress. and leaders of both sides agree
that unless there was an assurance of com
