PRESIDENT URGES
FLEXIBLE TARIFF
Senators Summoned to the
White House Told of Shift
ing Conditions.

President Harding in a letter to-
day to Chairman McCumber OF the
finance committee, read to the Sem
ate, not only urged that n flexible
tariff be provided for, but that the
Tariff Commission be made the
asency for investigation and rec
ommendation for changes in tariff
rates.
President Harding interviewed today In
the Senate fight over the flexible tarfn
provisions, outlining to senators sum-
moned to the White House the desira-
bility Of elasticity in the tariff during
present shifting world conditions
The executive conferred first with
Senator Oddie of Nevada. leader Of
the republican agricultural tariff bloc
some members of which are opposed to
the flexible plan in any form. and later
saw Senator Frelinghuysen. republican
New Jersey, sponsor Of the "scientiftc'
tariff plan.
Consideration Resumed.
The Senate returned today to con.
sideration of the flexible tariff pro-
visions of the administration bill, with
the outcome apparently in doubt.
These provisions with all proposed
amendments as we'll various "scien-
tific" tariff proposals had to be dis
posed of before a recess tonight under
the agreement controlling the debate.
Opposition to the delegation to the
President of the broad authority over
the tariff duties recommended by Mr.
Harding in his annual message last
December had developed on the re-
publican AS well as the democratic
side. As a result 1t appeared that
even IL the provisions should be ap-
proved the authority to be delegated
to the executive would be curtailed
sharply.
Proponents of the flexible tariff
plan, led by Chairman ,McCumber Of
the finance committee, argued that
some such proposition as that Of
fered was necessary in order to pro-
tect certain domestic industries
against a flood of imports from coun-
tries having greatly DEPRECATED cur
rencies and cheap labor. Their posi-
ton was that elasticity in the tartn
was essential until present chaotic
