THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGT! " DELAY HELD SENATE POLIEY N TARFF Sees Action of Upper House Means of Escaping De- feat of Measure. Out of a number of conflicting cur- Tents, the will of the Senate has been expressed on the tariff and it is en- veloped in the single word—delay. The vote by which the Borah resolu- tion to limit tariff revision to farm | schedules was rejected did not. reflect | the innermost desire of the Senate, for | 1f it were not for the political pressure back of the whole thing, an inevitable demand by certain’ constituencies for . the tariff bill would have been onfously dropped overboard. or Borah may have won a vic- spite the. fact that the count is | against him for the moment. He has revealed that almost a majority of the Senate does not like the House tariff | bill and that when it comes to the final | test the possibilities of an indefinite | deadlock are greater than ever. Contrary to House. By taking a recess now, the Senate has gone counter to the wishes of the ers, who had insisted that less t nate agreed upon a def- inite date for a vote there would be n Tecess. But the Borah motion upse this defiance, for it began to look if the tariff ‘revision, so important to many House members, would be im- periled altogether, What President Hoover really thinks about the tangle may be disclosed in the | near future, but eeriainly he can derive | Sonstderable satisfaction from the fact | that tme Senate has taken from his hands the job of killing the bill that | passed the House. In & sense Mr. Borah | performed yeoman service for the ministration in starting the contro The Jones amendment, which wou rmitted certain protective duties for industries that have recently been depressed, really represents the Hoover viewpoint or rather the politics as it 1s borne in on the Chief Executive. There are certain industries that feel entitled | to protection and to Mr. Hoover's sup- port of their requests for increased duties. The President h speeches, promised them Senate, however, ultimately rules out all except the farm schedules then the White House is powerless to initiate any other policy for the time being. | May Compromise. What may happen, of course, is that some compromise may be presented to the Senate, but it will require Demo- cratic v to bring it about. Mr. Hoover may have to develop his own makeshift majority and the tariff has than party ties. Other Presidents have | won support from opposité parties on | the same basis. | The tariff movement, nevertheless, has sustained a defeat—it has been postponed. The Summer recess is, of | course, a climatic affair, but the Sen- ate finance committee will make use of | the time to try to develop a new piece | of legislation. Meanwhile the Demo- crats will attempt to rally their lines| for a new attack. | Efforts may be made to tie the farm | enture plan into the bill in such a | way that it may make the whole meas- | ure distasteful to the administration | Republicans and thus _weaken the | chances for any tariff revision, More Delay Expected. | Delay has set in and will continue | until the Autumn, when more delay | may be exé:ec(ed. It the inside thoughts | of the leaders could be revealed, it prob- | would be found that they never | really wanted tariff revision and would | not ‘be disappointed if it fell by the | wayside, but the responsibility for mak- | ing or breaking a tariff bill is not easily avoided. i Rather than have the bill that passed | he House it is not improbable that, Mr. | Hoover would prefer no tariff revision | at all, but he, too, cannot publicly side- track’ & measure which he_originally | asked the special session of Congress t0 | consider. The legisiative and executive branthes of the Government have found the tariff W. H. Since 1861 Main 3770 a troublesome question in forelgn rela- tions, & vexing problem in domestic poli- tics and a serious economic dilemma 8o that it may be inferred a final tariff bill is a long way off. g R Y (Copyright, 1920.)
