TARIFF BILLS
PASSAGE Seen
Senator Capper Outlines
Mastery Work Done BY
President Hoover

WASHINGTON, March ST.
Senator Capper Of Kansas today
indicated his belief that, In effect
the Democratic Independent coali-
ton Is writing q tariff bill which
viii be agreeable to President Hoo
Yer.
While the senate began what II
hoped would be the final weeks
work on the measure which has
occupied it just six months next
Saturday, Capper said in a radio
address that 1T Is my belief that
the senate discussion and actions
will result in tariff rates in line
with President Hoover's program
this in spite Of the fact that those
rates, in the last analysis, will be
written in great part by political
enemies OF the president"
Characterizing Mr.. Hoover's
first year as president as "a veal
of fact finding" the Kansas repub-
lican asserted that "the policies
followed, the programs laid down
and initiated, the actions taken by
President Hoover SO far, are along
lines that will rebound to the best
interests Of the entire country IN
the long run"
1T seems TO me-" he said, this
first year OF President Hoover has
been a year Of fact finding; a year
Of work on data and blue prints
a year Of foundation laying. These
are the marks OF the engineering
mind OF President Hoover"
Capper named six major national
projects which he said the presi-
dent had facing him OH beginning
his term: farm relief; law enforce
ment. including prohibition; limit
cd tariff revision. inland water
ways preparation for an approach
ing economic crisis and promotion
OF world peace.
He praised MIR. Hoover's handling
Of the stock market crash as q
mastery piece OF work said that
the federal farm board has helped
the situation and that the success
or failure OF the inland waterways
program would be a later develop
ment.
Capper expressed disapproval OF
the commission idea and said he
looked for recommendation OF the
law enforcement commission to be
enacted. Good will come from the
London naval conference. he added
though perhaps not 60 the extent
that many OF us had hoped"
