REVENUE REVISION
FIRST ON PROGRAM
Rep. MondeII, After White House
Conference, Opposes Giving
Tariff Law Preference.
URGES SPEEDY ACTION
House Leader Says II Il Were Possible
to Amend Payne.Aldrich Bill
Within Six Weeks II Would
Be Wise to Do So.

Wash1ngton-After q conference
with President Harding, Representa-
tive Mondell. Republican leader Of the
House, in outlining the probable pro
gram and policy of the new Congress,
declared revenue revision legislation
should be considered ahead of any
temporary or stop gar tariff.
Mr.. Mondell held that enactment Of
temporary tariff law, along the lines
Of the Payne-Aldrich measure, would
require as much time as would be
necessary to pass permanent tariff.
"How to tackle the allied questions
Of tariff and revenue is the important
thing" Mr.. Mondell said.
Fears Flood Of Amendments.
1T has been suggested in certain
quarters that it would be wise to take
up some measure, for. instance the
Payne-Aldrich bill, modifying a few of
its provisions such as Schedule X.
but continuing it as, it was, and pass
It as a purely temporary and emer-
gency stop gap measure The sug-
gested postponement would be to fol-
low that with revenue legislation and
then permanent tariff bill, which
might not become law until the reg
ular session. =,
PERSONALLY am somewhat doubt
full Of the wisdom Of that policy. II
1t were possible to take the Payne
Aldrich bill, and with a few changes
pass it speedily sosthat it would be
on the statute books in, six weeks or
two months I think it might perhaps
be wise to do it,
"But have grave doubts as to
whether this can be done. I am not
at all certain that such a bill thus
introduced would not when it reached
the Senate be opened up for a great
variety of amendments, be, delayed for
considerable time in its passage so that
instead Of securing what is suggested
prompt action on a temporary bill
we might instead find the Congress
considering for months a measure
which, starting as a temporary meas
ure, might finally come to be consid.
cred as permanent measure and en-
tirely made over.
"ouick Action Only Virtue" j:
1T would thus lose the benefit Of
quick action which is the only virtue
of temporary measure. We would
also lose in what would become the
permanent tariff bill, the benefit of
starting the bill as, a permanent meas.
ure rather than as temporary one.
IF any emergency measure is pos
sib1e in advance of the permanent
tariff, it must, it seems to me, be con-
fined to similar anti-dumping provi-
sion and possibly an amendment to
the present tariff basing rates on
American rather than on foreign val
ues. Such a measure would be of
value in saving the situation during
the period of consideration Of a per-
manent measure"
