dalton OF President Harding, was
launched In the Senate and In the
course of the four hours debate Chair
man McCumber. In charge Of the tariff
bill, announced that some Of the objec-
lions raised to the plan would be con-
sldercd by the committee before final
Senate action on II.
Senator Walsh. Democrat, Montana,
opened the discussion with the deliv-
cry of prepared address in which he
cited many authorities and court deci-
sions to support his argument that the
provisions were unconstitutional. Sen
ators Underwood Of Alabama and Sim
mons Of North Carolina. the Demo-
cratic leaders. Joined with him, argu-
ing that for the first time In the his
tory of the country 1t was proposed to
protect the profits of American manu-
facturers.
Chairman NcCumber and Senator
SmO0t Of Utah. ranking Republicans
ON the finance committee, defended
the plan. the former insisting that II
the American producer raised his price
to an exorbltant figure 1t was not CON
templated that the President would in
crease tariff duties to protect him.
Senator SmoOt expressed doubt that
the President would have to net In one
more case out Of thousand md added
that the rule laid down under which he
could act was SO plain that there was
no doubt about Its constItutionality.
Senator Walsh told the senate that
the constitution specifically reserved
to Congress the power to lay and col
lect, taxes and Import duties. and that
Congress could not delegate this nu.
th0rIty. He also attacked the flexi-
BILE plan on the ground that no pro-
vision was made for judicial review

yielding any fruit into the relative
cost Of production In this country and
abroad. but had been guided largely.

domestic and foreign articles in the
American market.

McCumber said the President would
