that final action in the direction OF
fiexibility should be taken away from
the White House. where 1t now Is. ana
given to Congress. The Democrats, IN
the final form in which they stated
their position, made the best possible
case for the principle for which they
contend.
However. in respect to other aspects
of the pending bill, there are many
Senators and Representatives belonging
to both parties who would rather have
no tariff revision at all than have the
pending bill passed. To say the same
thing in different words. they would
sooner see the old tariff of 1922 remain
in force than see a new law which fails
to include some detail which they de-
sire. AS respects many rates in the bill,
there are many Senators and Repre-
sentatives in this position. The situa-
ton is illustrated by the relation of
some Northwestern Senators and Rep
reSentativeS to the tariff on shingles.
The existing 1922 tariff law has no
duty on shingles. For that seven-year-
old law present Senators and Repre-
sentatives are not held responsible by
their constituents. If the old law re-
mains on the books, there is no grief
to Northwestern Senators and Repre-
sentatives. On the other hand, If a
new bill Is passed and II the new bill
fails to put tariff on shingles, the
Senators and Representatives from
shingle-producing districts will be held
responsible. Competent judges say that
If there Is revision and If 1t omits
shingles, the seat of every Senator and
Representative from Oregon and Wash
ington will be jeopardiZed.
What Is said here about shingles and
the Northwest applies fully to several
other commodities and several other
sections of the country. When this bill
is in its final form, the aggregate OF
the persons who. for varying motives
would prefer that 1t does not pass may
be quite considerable.
It would be a mistake to assume at
this time that no revision is a like
lihood. On this point. feeling in Wash
ington and in Congress shifts backward
and forward. There have been several
brief periods during which prevailing
judgment said no tariff bill would be
passed. The present happens to be one
of the periods when prevailing opinion
says bill will be passed.
At the same time there is a menacine

SACKETT'S TARIFF
OPINION IS BACKED
Many Congressman Are Be-
Iieved to Hold Similar View
on Flexible Clause.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

Senator Sackett Of Kentucky, arguing
in behalf of President Hoover's plea
about the flexible provision OF the
tariff, revealed Judgment about the
tariff bill as a whole which is held by
many Senators in both parties, but
usually ignored.
Senator Sackett said that he would
rather have no tariff revision at all
than have tariff revision with the fiex-
ible provision left out. This was not
rhetoric. It was a plain statement of
a position sincerely believed in and
shared by many perfectly substantial
persons III both houses. The number OF
persons who feel this way is so large
that no tariff revision at all is one OF
the possibilities this session.
In the case of Senator Sackett, what
he meant was that the existing tariff
law passed in 1922 contains a flexible
theless is flexible. Senator Sackett
would sooner see this law remain in
effect than see new law enacted with
no flexible porviSion.
In this particular case the alter
native deplored by Senator Sackett will
probably not arise. Some kind of fiexi-
BILE provision will pretty surely be incor-
porated into this bill. The question is
what kind of flexible provision. More
narrowly. the question: Is WIletleT the
Tariff Commission shall report its
recommendations for change to the
President, as the Republicans wish, or
to Congress, as the Democrats wish.
The Democrats quickly abandoned any
notion of having no flexible provision
whatever and no Tariff Commission. In
deed, it is misunderstanding to assume
that the Democrats generally ever took
that position. 1t Is true their first
gesture was to strike out" the flexible
provision from the pending bill. That.
however, was merely a parliamentary
preliminary to moving to substitute
their own kind of flexible provision.
The real Democratic position is that
there should be a flexible provision, but

reminder in one fact. The Senate has
had this bill for almost full month.
In that time, no rate in the bill has
been debated, far less voted on. In
the bill are at least six rates, such as
sugar, for example. each of which
readily might consume week of de-
bate. under the Senates rule Of prac-
tically no limit on discussion. The time
remaining is only about eight weeks

for many time-consuming steps. Each
part of the bill must be debated and
voted on in the Senate, the bill as a
whole must be passed, or not passed,
by the Senate, the bill must 60 to
possibly prolonged conference between
Senate and House, and the final COM
promise must be voted on by both
bodies. All this process must be COM
pleted before the end of November.
