REPORTS ON TARIFF
OPERATIONS FILED
Senate Committee DiscIoses
Widely Divergent Views on
Commissions Work.

Two widely divergent views on the
work of the Tariff Commission are con-
tanned in the findings of the special
Senate committee submitted at the close
of Congress after months of investiga-
ton into every phase of tariff opera
tions.
Repeal of the flexible provisions of
the 1922 tariff act is recommended In
the majority report prepared by Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic
leader. which expressed the judgment
that Congress made a mistake In dele
eating to the President authority to
raise or lower tariff rates. Experience
has not justified the practical value of
this provision of the. act the report
stated and it is impracticable for the
President to devote the time and at
tention essential to the proper per-
formance of the duties imposed upon
him by the flexible law.
Senator Reeds Minority Report.
Unable to agree on this proposition,
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl-
vania. for the minority, agreed that the
record of the Tariff Commission had
been disappointing and its action slow.
He attrlOuLeQ JllS SlLuaLlOn 10 CI1Eee
causes Continued wrangling among the
members; disagreement as to the neces-
sity of seeking costs from the books OF
foreign manufacturers, and the fear OF
criticism.
The minority report added. however,
that most of these difficulties had been
overcome and that the pickering had
ended because of changes made in the
personnel of the commission since the
troubles became apparent.
Flexible Provision Attacked.
Referring to the Presidents position
under the tariff act, the majority re-
port stated: THE Chief Executive Is
already overburdened with executive
duties, and to impose such responsible
ties on the President as are carried In
the flexible provision confuses legisla-
tive and executive responsibility.
Other recommendations by the COM
mittee. which conducted exhaustive
hearings on the tariff law more than a
wear ago. are that the Tariff Commis-
sion should be made a congressional
agency and should recommend duties
and report on them directly to the two
house Of Congress and that the Chief
Executive should be careful not TO ap-
point to the commission former repre-
sentatives OF special interests or organi-
zation concerned directly with the Work
of the commission.

OIL PROBERS SPLIT
ON CANP PA|GN cir IS
Walsh and Bratton Challenge
Mye Claim That Magnates
Aided Democrats.

Campaign contributions by oil men to
the Democratic party was the wedge
that split the Senate public lands COM
mittee on the floor of the Senate yes
terday shortly before adjournment. with
Chairman Nye, Republican. defending
assertions contained in his report on
the Continental Trading Co. investi-
CATION made public yesterday. These
assertions were challenged by Senators
Walsh OF Montana, the committee
prosecutor sn6 Bratton of New Mexico,
Democrats.
Chairman Nye asserted information
had been received by the committee, as
vet unpublished, that Harry F. Sinclair
had contributed $4,000 to the fund
raised to bring the 1924 Democratic
convention TO New York. This. he
promised. would be laid before the COM
mittee today.
Not Justified"
Senator Bratton insisted three state
ments in the Nye report were mislead-
inc and asserted that portions OF the
report we've not justified by the evl-
;ence. He denied witness after wit

confined his contributions TO any one
political party" as declared by the re-
port. cOntending that only two wit
nesses had so testified.
Edward L. Doheny. who leased the
Elk Hills Naval Oil Reserve, was quoted
in the report as saying he had been
liberal with his contributions 10 poth

fol Senate
Doheny said he had contributed $4,000
TO the Democratic party, while 1t was
later shown $4,000 was correct. Chair
man Nye agreed that $4,000 was the
proper figure, as shown by subsequent
investigation.
Calls for Proof.
Senator Walsh desired Chairman Nye
to reveal the source of his information
that Sinclair had helped both parties
and the committee prosecutor
denied that any evidence had been re-
ceived showing contributions by Sinclair
to the Democratic national campaign.
Chairman Nye's report, which sup
plemented that made public by Sena-
tor Walsh yesterday, also declared that
never has the world known a case
involving a degree of fraud, quite evi-
dent bribery. thievery, conspiracy and
corruption" that could compare with
the oil cases.
Chairman Nye differed from Senator
Walsf1's conclusions slightly and ques-
toned whether the purpose OF the Con-
tinental concern was that OF winning
quietly a neat profit for Robert w.
Stewart. chairman of the board Of the
Standard Oil Co of Indiana; Sinclair,
II. M. Blackmer and James z. ONeil,
or whether the purpose was that Of
creating a fund to be used TO corrupt

''slush' purposes.

WHEAT IS IRREGULAR
ON CROP ESTIMATES
Recessions Follow Unofficial Re-
port on Figures for Present
Canadian Yield.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 17-Canadian I'M
official crop estimates. putting the
prairie provinces yield at 531 100000 to
554 900 900 bushels, led to recessions in
wheat values today. The Canadian gov
eminent crop report will be given out
tomorrow, but previous official reports
have been largely comment, and have
received little attention. Export de-
mand for wheat today was slow and
advances which at times took place in
future deliveries prices were difficult
to maintain.
Wheat closed irregular, Zee net lower
to Zee advance, corn 1c off to 3sc up,
oats Il to &c down, and provisions
varying from 5 to &c setback to rise
of Csc.
Opening q to "a off, wheat later
scored gains all around Corn, oats
and provisions likewise developed
strength. corn starting a shade to q
down, and afterward rallying more
than cents in some cases.
Special attention was given by many
wheat traders today to statement from
the president of one of the largest
difference in world supplies this year
and last is not so great as to justify
any material price change from last
years average level. He attacked ideas
that there is tremendous world crop,
and that wheat should seek an ex-
tremely low level.
Friends of higher prices for wheat
pointed out that Chicago quotations to-
day were IS to 90 bushel lower than
q year ago. 1t was asserted in this con-
nection that wheat has reached level
at which it would be reckless to press
the selling side in hope of any very
material profit

u. S. EXPORTS FOR JULY
ARE HIGHEST SINCE 1920

BY the Associated Press.
July exports from the United States
were reported by the Commerce De-
partment today at $685., 10000 the
highest recorded for the month in any
year since 1920. July imports were
$4,000 900, and the resulting balance
of trade was favorable to the United
States by $50, 100000.
The continuing outflow of gold from
the United States resulted in total ex-
ports of the metal for July of STA
100, 1000, against which the United States
imported gold to total of Sl1, 53l 900.
leaving the net loss of gold for the
month at $50. $4,000 For the seven
months of 1928. including July. the gold
exports of the United States had been
s529, 100000 and imports S94, 507 900.
Thus the gold loss for the year includ-
ing July Is S435, POI 900. by far the
largest sum in gold ever sent out of
this country in a like period.
