Payne of New York and Minority Leader Champ Clark of Missouri were appointed a sub-committee to work out the details of the proposed investigation and to report back a definite plan at the next meeting of the committee. At the suggestion of the Democrats on the committee it is probable the in- vestigation will be undertaken by the ways and means committee itself, or by a sub-committee thereof. In, out- lning his plan Mr. Boutelle called at- tention to the several resolutions call- ing for such an investigation. He sug- gested that the trend of each such resolution should be ascertained and its good features added to the scope of the coming investigation. In addi- tion Mr. Boutelle said he thought the investigation should include the cost of imported articles, their factory cost abroad, their cost upon arrival here and the. cost of various processes which such articles underwent before reaching the hands of ultimate con- sumers. It was pointed out here that in part Mr. Boutelle’s sugdestion is already covered in the powers conferred upon the tariff board which is to advise President Taft of cost of articles abroad and in this country. It was also pointed out, however, that the in- formation given the president by this board would be confidential unless the president chooses to transmit it to congress, while the results of the in- vestigation proposed by Mr. Boutelle would be public almost immediately. ‘What powers would be given the in- vestigating committee, the scope of its investigation and the length of time that would be necessary for it to com- plete its labors remain to be deter- mined.
