SMOOT DEFENDS
TARIFF POLICY

SALT LAKE CITY. July 10. Up
Reed Smoot. chairman Of the SEN
ate finance committee, today charg-
ed in a statement that Senator
Thomas, democrat OF Oklahoma.
wrote a letter to Representatives Of
foreign governments inviting .cri-
ticism from their respective foreign
countries against the provisions Of
the Smoot-Hawley bill and parti-
cularly requesting criticisms as TO
whether OF not the enactment OF
the bill would affect their countries"
Commenting on a statement today
by Senator Robinson OF Arkansas,
Senator Smoot said:
The foreign protests referred 70
by the senator are not new. Protests
OF foreign nations have been made
during the consideration or every
tariff bill, whether republican or
democratic. The protests against the
Smoot-Hawley bill were not more
than we're made during the consider
alton OF the Fordney-Mc Cumber bin
OF 1922.
1T is a wonder that many more
protests were not received during
the consideration Of the Smoot-
Hawley bin, inasmuch as an invita-
ton by letter was addressed 70 re-
personalities OF foreign countries by
a democratic senator. Senator
Thomas Of Oklahoma. inviting criti-
cisms from their respective foreign
countries against the provisions Of
the Smoot-Hawley bill and partic-
ularly requesting criticisms IS to
whether or not the enactment of the
bill would affect their countries.
Considering this invitation.
think we could safely speculate that
the protests against the Smoot-
Hawley bill we're very very nominal
