not make any inquiry into the cost
Of producing It here; ana, therefore.
the commission could not proceed.
The total number OF commodities
thus Tor one reason OF another
shelved or pigeon.holed has been,
BY this writer's calculation. fifty.
nine
Forty.Six Started.
Then we come to the third and
last cIass-the class IN which the
commission i has actually ordered
final Investigations and has started
In on them.
This class in fairness can be re.
garded as including as many as
forty-six different commodities. IL
does not include forty.six invest.
cations because, for instance, the
one investigation into "animai and
vegetable fats and oils" covers az
least ten different oil commodities.
Considering the matter, however,
from the standpoint of different
commodities, rather than from the
standpoint ..of different investiga.
tons, the results for the com.
moditfes actually investigated by
the commission are as follows:
Nine of these commodities have
ceased being investigated. The in
vestigations into them have been
suspended
Eighteen commodities are still In
the earlier stages Of Investigation.
Only sixteen commodities are in
the later stages Of Investigation.
Only three commodities-wheat
and sodium nitric and barium
ports on them made to the Presi-
dent.
The chances are that the final
report on sugar may soon be made.
Other Probes Unlikely.
The chances also are that except
through pressure from the Presis
dent, not many other final reports
on any commodities will be made
between now, and the election.
President Coolidge, who did not
make the personnel Of the Commits
sion, finds himself obliged now per-
sonally himself to undertake the
burden Of seeing to it that the
Commission does not force the Re-
publican party into the position Of
the election in Noven-
Der with record of only three or
four final reports made under the
flexible provisions" OF the tariff
bill of September, 1922.
In the neighborhood Of the White
House 1t is noted that appeals from
within the Commission have come
to the President and that the
Presidents influence seems to have
been used toward promoting and
forwarding Investigations into com.
modities even against the prefer
ences Of the Harding appointees In
the Commission.
That point is the last point in
