Few controversies in Washing
ton today are as bitterly fought
as the arguments which rage
over IVA, The proponents of the
project contend that the cost of
IVA is self-liquidating and that
the cost to the Nations taxpay-
ers is not a legitimate question.
l checked the situation recently
and found that since 1884, when
construction began, Congress has
made appropriations for iva ag-
gregating almost So billion. Thus
far, IVA has repaid the Fed
eral Treasury $256 million, or
approximately 12.5 percent of
the investment in twenty-one
wears.

Tariff

The reciprocal trade bill,
which will probably result in
reduced trade barriers, has fin
ally been passed. / opposed it
when it passed the house by a
narrow margin several months
ago. The Senate gave considera-
ton to objections raised by the
pottery, glass, coal and oil in
dustries and amended the bill
to provide remedies to industries
which could prove they were
being seriously imperiled by a
volume of low cost imports. Even
with that protection included,
voted against the Conference
Report. 1t is my strong feeling
that regardless of the safeguards
promised by the bill, the legis-
lation places the burden upon
industry to cut through the
mountains of red tape to estab-
lish any protection for itself and
its employees through the safe
guard.
Another bill affecting imports
and duties was or the floor of
the House of Representatives last
week. 1t was intended to simp-
lily procedure for importation.
Because one provision, while
providing for a simplificati0n of
procedure, also reduced existing
tariffs on some items, [ felt that
could not in good conscience
