TARIFF GRIND
IN CONGRESS
(By u. s. Press)

Washington, Nov. 4-Although Feb
ruary l has been fixed as the date
to which the emergency tariff expir-
ing Nova anber p viii BE extended. nc
one seems to believe that Congress
will complete the enactment of per
manent tariff legislation by that date
The date, February /, was selected
admittedly with a view to speeding
mp the progress Of the permanent bill.
When that date arrives Congress un
doubtedly will pass bill again eNten-
ding the time of the emergency tariff.
AS matters now stand, the permanent
tariff bill is not likely to reach the
statute books before March or April,
or possible May or June. Undoubte.l-
" it will be enacted into law at some
time during the coming regular session
Of Congress. The leaders have made
tentative plans to end the session not
. later than June l.
The radical departure determined
upon in the American valuation plan
which contemplates abandonment of
the policy of assessing import duties
on the foreign invoice value, followed
bv the United States practically all
the time for more than century, has
been the primary cause OF the slow
progress made in revising the tariff
law. Contributing factors have been,
of course, the difficulty of determine
inc rates of duty satisfactorily, III
view Of chaotic world conditions, and
also the fact that the Ways and
Means Committee in the House and
Finance Committees in the Senate,
which have charge Of tariff legisla-
ton, also have been engaged in revis
ion of tax laws.
