The Coolidge administration has made up its mind to resist any tariff revision whatsoever, being unwilling to recognize even the just claim for revision here and there, because it might open up the whole tariff law to amendment. And just now the ad- ministration is anxious to get its tax bill put through the next session and postpone, if possible, the controversy on the tariff until the congressional elections of 1926 are over.

THOMPSON LEAVES SHIPPING BOARD TO _ OPPOSE ABOLITION (Continued from First Page.) years of service has convinced me that those who are to administer the Gov- ernment’s agency of shipping should be appointed from the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf seaboard, the Great Lakes and the interior, and that this is e ‘wise and necessary provision of the present law. General administration oftheé duties imposed on the board by Congress is strengthened through ad- ministration by members possessing intimate knowledge of the needs and interests of their sections. Specific cases clearly evidence that control of ship operation by one man from one section, however appealing in prin- ciple, does not preserve equitable ocean transportation benefits or pro- tection to the products of manufactur- ing or agriculturel interests of all sections. The merchant marine act of 1920 was conceived and enacted to serve such interests. Sees Law End Defeated. “The previous delegation of wide powers to the Fleet Corporation, a policy of administration recently re- voked by the board under its responsi- bility to the Congress, destroyed re- glonal voice and authority. It neutral. 1zed the intent of the Congress, as de. Palais Royal’s Great Feature Sale fined In the law, and adversely affect- ol American flag ship operation.
