TARIFF LOOMS AS
 POLITICAL ISSUE
French and Argentine Situations
 Demand Probe

Washington. Sept. l5 tP'-Broug ught into prominence by the proposal of new Franco American commercial treaty and the abandonment of all American investigation into fiaXseed and corn production costs in Argen- tina, the tariff appears likely to be- come an important issue of discus sion in the next congress.
 Although early forecasts of the new sessions program by congress sional leaders had placed the tariff as q probable quiescent issue, the Argentine and French situations have developed two problems deal ing respectively with the administra- tion of the American law and the ef- feet Of this country's protective duties on tariff policies of foreign nations.
 Because of the possibility that the investigation Of the 1axseed and corn industries by American tariff experts would be q source of con- siderable irritation in Argentina, the tariff commission decided 10 aban- don q plan 10 send a committee to that country to obtain the data. As a, result Of this decision information reaching members Of congress in dicated that the provision of the tariff law permitting this method Of investigation probably will be con- sidered for repeal at the next ses- sion.
 The American government today expected to receive the French reply on the proposal for new commer- cial treaty between the two countries which would remove tariff inequal- itites placed against American goods by the new French duties.
 The reduced American rates which the French reply was said to seek in a new agreement. would have 10 be granted under a treaty duly ratified by congress and the state department has pointed out that all nations with which the United States has most favored na-
