TO TEST
FLEKIBIL|TY
IN TARIFF
Offers Resolution Calling on
Commission for Cost Study
of Several Commodities

The new tariff act. which its
opponents charge will cost the
American consumer billions of
dollars in increased prices, was
officially in operation today at all
ports Of entry. It became effec-
tive ct midnight, following its
signature yesterday by President
Hoover.
Telegraphic orders were sent to
all collectors and customs Off
cials that all goods entering the
country after midnight were sub
ject to the new duties.
Many Ships Lose Race
Many liners were reported to
have crowded into American ports
with their cargoes just in time
to get under the wire. Many
others did not.
Even though the bill is now q
law, its opponents did not cease
their efforts to ameliorate its
provisions.
The Senate was confronted to-
day with q resolution sponsored
by Senator Borah CR) Of Idaho.
one Of the bills leading critics,
calling upon the tariff commits
sion Immediately to institute q
cost investigation, embracing q
number Of commodities. among
them shoes, cement, furniture and
farm implements.
Under the terms Of the flexible
provision, either house of Con-
greSS may call upon the commits
sion for such investigation and
report as to specific commodity.
This would be q preliminary step
to demanding of the President
that he use his flexible powers
to decrease the rates.
Certain to Pass
The resolution appears certain
to pass. It will command the
support Of the Democrats and
the inSurgent Republicans from
the West who voted against the
bill.
Borah's purpose was plain. He
plans an immediate test Of the
value Of the flexible provision,
which President Hoover praised
so highly in his statement pre-
ceding the signing. Borah said:
''If there II any virtue in the
provision, If IL win provide re-
lief, let's have It."
Foreign ReprisaIs Feared
While officials here publicly as.
serted the new law would not ap-
preciably increase the cost of liv-
ing or bring about retaIiatory ac-
ton by foreign powers. many ex-
perts privately admitted they
feared both higher commodity
costs and injury to the country'S
foreign trade, which already has
fallen off $500, 900, 900 this year,
as compa4ed with the first five
months of 1929.
Experts predicted the new
tariff would result in q decrease
IN the volume Of customs collec-
tions. This win not be felt Seri-
ously during the present fiscal
year, which ends June 80, but
it was anticipated that in 1881
customs collections would fall far
below the 5000 .0OO, 900 estimated
when the last budget was sent to
Congress.

During the hectic campaign
that preceded yesterdays vote
and much to the ambassador
embarrassment, his enthusiastic
friends were nominating him for
the Presidency. Probably such
talk wiz now be accentuated.
Us Real 'sATOses' for Wets
AT any rate, whether he likes
It or not, the monumental pro-
portions Of his victory automat-
ically send Ambassador Morrow
to the forefront Of the anti.prphl-
bition movement in the country.
The dry leaders themselves con-
cede as much. During the cam
paign they deriSively dubbed him
'tIne new Moses" Of the vets.
There was q good deal OF
speculation today as. to the prob
able effect Of the Jersey verdict
upon the Republican organtza-
tions in other populolis Eastern
states. In New York and MaSsa-
chusetts the prohibition issue is
acute in the party, with influen-
tial leaders counseling thorough
going Wetness in the State plat
forms. Undoubtedly the wet
movement in these organizations
will be accelerated by the vote
in New Jersey.
Fort Lauds Digest Poll
Long skilled In Interpreting re-
suits, both Fort and Frelinghuy-
sen early conceded Morrow's
nomination. Both sent kilograms
Of congratulation and pledges Of
support not long after midnight.
Forts only comment before re-
tiring was:
"WeIl, I guess that Digest
poll was about right after all"
He referred to the prohibition
poll conducted by the Literary
Digest which showed New Jersey
to be overwhe elmingly wet. Ger
tainly Jersey voted that way.
Ambassador Morrow declined
to comment upon his victory be-
fore retiring about 2 O'Clock this
morning. He received the re-
turns at his home in EngleWood
with q small group Of friends and
relatives, among them Col. and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh.
