C. MAY 26 1 929—PART 1 EXPECT PASSAGE OF NEW TARIFF LEGISLATION IN FULL HARMONY Leaders Believe Bill Is on Way to Triumph, | With Only a Few Republicans Voting Against It. BY WILLIAM HARD. The new tariff bill is for the moment on the road to triumph. It will be passed by the House of Representatives | next Tuesday afternoon in full har- mony with the final recommendations of the Republican leademhir of the House and with probably only a very few Republican members voting against it. These dissident Republicans will be offset, to some considerable extent, by | Democratic members who will vote in favor of the bill. Ther - is outrightly strong protection- ist sentiment along the extra_ southern fringe of the Democratic South, in Florida and Louisiana and in Texas, where Democratic _agricultural = pro- ducers are exposed to inroads of com- petitive products from Mexico and the | West Indies, where the climate is warm- er and the wage cost is low “Good Texas Bill. One of the most eminent of Texas Democratic Representatives has good Texas bill.” He intends, accord- ingly, at this moment to vote for it. Representative O'Connor of Louisiana, a Democrat, has comprehensively de- clared: “Like most of the people among whom I dwell, T am a rational protectionist in the fullest and widest and deepest sig-| | nificance of the words.” Many other Democrats in that general region, including most particularly Flor- | ida, are also full, wide and deep pro- tectionists. Some of them will vote for the bill and virtually none of them will offer to the bill any true opposition on fundamental principle. With almost unanimous Republican support, with much Democratic hidden support, and with a little Democratic open support, the bill might seem at this moment to be a crushing success and to be destined to put the whole tariff question to sleep for a long time to come. Such, however, is not the view wholly held by the most far- sighted opinion in Washington. Situation Double One. The present situation is a double one, containing a contradiction which may produce. a revival of the tariff question in an intense form within a relatively few years. The first element in the situation is that almost every Congressman, for his own district or for his own State, is a strong protectionist and is incessantly demanding higher duties for the prod- ucts of his own constituents. ‘The second and conflicting element | in the situation is that an increasing number of Congressmen, both Repub- lican and Democratic, are tormented by the thought that this game of protec- tion for everything and anything that may be threatened by any import from anywhere may now have gone too far and that perhaps the adoption of a basically different theory of protection may some day soon be advisable for the prosperity of the country. An Eastern Republican member of the ways and means committee of the House, after assisting in the construc- tion of this present new tariff bill, re- marked to this writer: “On present accepted principles I hold this bill to be & good bill. I am weakening, though, on the principles. I am not sure now that the right prin- ciples may not be those of our distin- ished Democratic opponent, Cordell Hull of Tennessee.” Prediction Impossible. This combat between what most Con- gressmen are actually doing and what | an increasing number of them are ac- re- | | marked regarding the new bill, “It is a | ") tually thinking is the subterranean fact which makes it impossible to predict |that the tariff question in the United States is going to be genuinely settled by the legislation now walking its way into_the statute books. islation after it leaves the house Senate will take the bill as it comes from the House and will simply make it, as one might say, “more s0.” Almost, every spacious element in our population wiil be, as the phrase goes, “substantially satisfied” by the bill. This is the reason why the opposition in the House on the Republican side has been so generally flattened out. ‘The corn farmers are the only really large class of farmers among us for whom the bill could have done some- thing and for whom nevertheless it is doing nothing. The increase in the tariff on corn from 15 cents to 25 cents a bushel is an empty gift. Imports of corn are negligible. The effect of a tariff of a million dollars a bushel on corn would be negligible. What the corn farmers really wanted was a stiff tariff on blackstrap molasses and on sago and tapioca in order to promote the use of corn in the manufacture of industrial alcohol and of starch. They are not getting it. Corn is our largest crop, by far, in acreage. There is a chance that the Senate in this respect may do what the House has failed do. Virtually all other important classes of farmers have been considerably “rec- ognized” by the bill. The dairy farm- ers get numerous increases. The fruit farmers and the nut farmers get some strong increases. The vegetable farm- ers get increases which in many in- stances are prodigious. ‘The cattle farmers get a quite drastically height- ened tariff wall against the cattle of the farmers of Canada. This last increase, while thoroughly in harmony with the present accepted principles of tariff construction, has raised acutely the question as to whether or not those principles are wise. Cattle Import Small. The total number of cattle and | calves in the United States in 1927 | was approximately 57,000,000. The num- | ber of cattle imported in that year |from Canada was only approximately 1 400.000. | It is asked: Might it not be better, not from the | cattle man’s standpoint, but from the Nation’s standpoint, if we let the Ca- nadians freely send us their relatively few cattle if in return they would be able more abundantly to purchase from us our oranges and our lemons and our pears and our grapes and our berries |and our peaches, for which Canada is already our chief foreign market? | Might it not be better, in other words, |to set up between ourselves and the Canadians a system of division of labor and of exchange of commodities and | services rather than a system of com- | petitive exclusion whereby, In the end. | if we take less of the products of their ranches they will inevitably take less | of the products of our orchards? ‘That, esentially, is the query pro- pounded By the Cordell Hull school of | thought. ~'The present new tariff bill | will go to the country scattering “satis- | faction” to a multitude of interests, in- ternational and_agricultural, and yet pursued by a haunting interrogation mark. It is the climax of the accepted system. ‘There speculation as whether it may not be also the prelude to another. 3 (Copyright, 1929.) (.

The Catholic University Library has Prof. received through Archbishop Curle 960 yaluable books from Ludwig Pastor, the famous Austrian historian.
