TARIFF INCREASES
VITAL, SAYS SMELL
Depression Relief Seen in
Move Against Deprecated
Currency Countries.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated fTeSS.
Tariff increases to offset imports from
deprecated currency countries were
prescribed yesterday as a vital depres-
sion and unemployment remedy in q
House speech by Republican leader
Smell. His talk was a constant target
for Democratic sniping.
Tomorrow's ballot on the Republican
motion to force consideration Of the
Crowther bill for automatic increases
in duties was the subject of SHELLS re-
marks. but the New Yorker said he was
more interested in getting the issue be-
fore the House than In any particular
bill.
He added "there will be no oppor-
tunity" to do so unless the Democrats,
who agreed in caucus to block the move,
have change Of heart"
Change Of Heart First
Representative Ragon, Arkansas Dem
ocrat, interrupted to say he didn't be-
lieve Smell lever heard Of the Crowther
bill until you Republicans caucused to
put us on the spot" Smell retorted that
he had, read the bill and that the Re
publican conference indorsed the prin-
ciple, not any one measure.
Representative Doughton. North Caro-
lima Democrat who directed the Ways
and Means Subcommittee hearings on
such legislation, recalled that three
tariff commissioners, including Chair
man Robert L. O'Brien, and q spokes-
man for Secretary Of the Treasury
Mills had opposed the Crowther plan.
There has been so much propa-
ganda," Doughton said, that had the
impression that some emergency legis-
lation of this kind was necessary.
Legislation Held Unwise.
"But after listening to the witnesses
including three representatives Of the
Tariff Commission and representative
of the Treasury who ought to know
became convinced that this legislation
was not only dangerous but unwise, un-
sound and impracticable.
Barely score OF members heard the
debate which took place during the con-
sideration Of the District of Columbia
supply bill.
Smell referred specifically to dairying
and paper manufacturing, principal in
dustries of his New York district. He
said imports of both were increasing.
Unless something is done, our paper
industry will be wiped out" Smell said.
Il consider 1t vital to act. think such
legislation will go far in curing the
depression and that no other one thing
could be done to help employment
more"
