FRIENDS EXPECTED
TO REVISE TARIFF
"Honest Protection" Be-
Iieved to Be Hoover'S Pol
icy on Schedules.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The tariff is to be revised by Its
friends rather than by its enemies.
Honest protection and no changes where
the present schedules are sufficiently
high will be the rule.
This is the tariff policy of President
Hoover, just expressed in significant
utterance by Representative Tilson OF
Connecticut, leader of the Republican
party in the House, and chairman OF
the ways and means committee, which
will frame the bill.
Movement Is Explained.
For the first time the public has been
given an authoritative explanation OF
what prompted the present movement
to revise the tariff and prediction OF
what is going to happen.
After sketching the situation that ex-
listed when the opponents of farm re-
lief aided in passing the McMaster res
olution in the Senate to bring about
downward revision of the tariff, Mr..
Tilson tells of the councils inside the
party and the fact that sit was agreed
that the only wise course to pursue

WILL NOT
FIGHT HOOVER
PROPOSAL

Leaders of the nations dry forces
are somewhat skeptical of President
Hoover's plan to transfer prohibit
ton enforcement to the Justice De
partment. but wont fight it.
This attitude was revealed today
by F. Scott Mcbride. general super.
intendent of the AntiSaloon League
to international News Service.
Approve Plan
Or. Mcbride spiked rumors that
the drys were planning an organized
fight on the Hoover proposal.
I'VE have absolute confidence in
the President" said Mcbride. '"The
suggested transfer Is of course
detail in the general plan of en-
forcement. We would not oppose
any program which the President
believed might he an integral part
of the whole general scheme of en-
forcement."
There are two sides to the uues-
tion,1 said Mcbride. Some opposed
to a transfer have pointed out that
prohibition enforcement has been
handicapped by frequent change
in method and administrative heads.
Most activities were finally con-
centrated under the prohibition
commissioners.
DOFaR Is Efficient
II concur in the statement that
the prohibition department Is doing
as good work, as could be expected
under every condition. DIR: Doran

ment.
Most Of lis who are much inter-
ested, think. believe that this de.
partment should be kept intact if
a transfer is made
Mcbride pointed out that the en-.
forcement activities of. the coast
guard. customs and the permit de.
paftment would necessarily remain
in the Treasury. Y
There are many who feel that |
in as much as the Justice Depart.
ment has to do with prosecutions
It ought to have the machinery of |
evidence he continued.
Whether President Hoover will
ask that the. transfer be made in |
the coming short session remained |
IN doubt. Representative Tilson of

be taken up until the regular ses-
sion next December. /
