e ¢ circuited by agreement, but that the . Missourl, expressing not necessarily his SPEED INTARKF ASKEDBY ATON Demand Is Not for Particular Kind of Bill, but for Prompt Action. BY MARK SULLIVAN. | ‘The coalition which now has control | ©of the tariff in the Senate is aware | that important business consldouuons’ are calling for early action. Some though not all, the coalition concede the | demand is reasonable, Since the be- | ginning of the session last week, Sen- ator Borah has taken the position that | the Senate should keep at work on the tariff in order to facilitate “a favorable psychological condition in the coun- try.” Senator Borah has tried to limit debate on matters interposed ahead of the tariff. The wish coming from the country for promptness of action looks to prompt- ness regardless of the particular kind of tariff that may be written. The sources of this urging are much broader than the business interests to whom tariff rates are a direct concern. They include many lines of industry and business leaders who do not care whether the tariff is high or low. The wish for promptness is based on the assertion that the only, or at least the largest, area of uncertainty now exist- ing in the Nation's business is uncer- tainty about what the tariff rates will be. As it was put by Senator Allen of | Kansas, the wish is that the Senate should “join with the other influences | that are co-operating with the President . to secure stabilization in & time or} need.” Few Industrial Changes. ‘The duration of the remaining Senate debate could be startlingly brief. The impulse toward cleaning the matter up with a quick conclusion exists to some degree in all the factions. The mate- rials for a speedy clean-up exist. Prac- tically every faction has the same notion now about what the ultimate outcome on rates will be. The view is general that the agricultural rates will be the high ones written by the coalition in the Senate. The view about industrial rates is that they will be the rates now existing in the old 1922 law with few or no changes. Probably a concensus of the private judements of the Senate would agree he( something much like this is the likely outcome. Probably a secret ballot would reveal that such an outcome would be satisfactory to a majority of each of the factions. Under these con- ditions a non-political assemblage would probably crystallize its prevailing judg- ment without much loss of time. In the Senate, however, its rules, as well #s the unusual political conditions, make speedy crystallization difficult. One Democratic Senator says a chief reason for delay will be the making of hes by individual Senators on spe- c schedules. When the present coal- ftion of Democrats and Progressives be- gn last Summer, the schedules of the riff were allotted among them. Each was assigned to familiarize himself with all the facts and figures about one schedule. This plan has worked ex- tremely well in making the fight against the tariff. Plan Proves Embarrassing. Now that the fight is won, however, this plan turns out to be a considerable embarrassment. Individual Senators who have posted themselves at much pains to speak on specific schedules do not like to forego making the speeches incubating within them. The Senator who thus analyzes the situation says that the matter of making a real fight on the industrial rates could be short- speech-making cannot $o Teadily be ab- breviated. In the net, it is a possibility that the Senate might come fairly speedily to conclusion by adepting the Senste coal- ition high rates on agriculture and the 1922 rates on industry. While that pos- sibility exists in the atmosphere of the Senate, it is not the largest possibility. The balance of probability is on the side of considerable delay. Such delay, 1f it goes on, becomes cumulative. From time to time, matters will arise which will be rded as emergencies, to dis- cuss which the Senate will lay aside the tariff. Democratic Senator Hawes of ‘wish but rather his regretful jus ent, says, “We will not be able to settle this tariff matter until February, or at least the end of January.” Democratic Sen- ator Copeland of New York, speaking in the same spirit, not necessarily of wish but of judgment. says “we are not [01!'\1 to finish this bill before the first of March.” P R T HOOVER’S STATEMENT WINS DRYS’ SUPPORT ““The message of President Hoover to Congress is probably the greatest rec- ommendation, as well as pronounce- ment, on national prohibition and its enforcemen* and observance ever made by a President of the United States in & message to Congress.” Ernest H. Cher- rington, director of the department of education, Anti-Saloon League of Amer- ica, said in a statement made public today. “The strong declarations of President Hoover express the desire of the heart of the American people. The emphasis he has placed upon obedience to the lJaw as well as its enforcement will go far toward reassuring friends of prohibition. It practically notifies those who have ‘brought wet pressure to bear that there will be no let-up in the enforcement program of this administration. It serves notice upon the violators of the prohjbition law, both large and small, that the President means business when he calls attention to his oath of office. “The morale of those charged with enforcement of the law and equally of ublic-spirited citizens and organiza- dons supporting the prohibition cause will be greatly strengthened by this statement of the President.” Keep This Soothing, Healing, Balm Handy for the Treatment of Sudden burng bruises, bites, cuts, etc. Guard against unforeseen tragedy by always keeping a jar of Torb on hand.
