Their proposal, now in the making, calls for a non-pariisan tariff commis- sion of seven members with authority to recommend changes in the tariff a: only to Congress. The commission also would have authority to recommend the #¢ A5 addition of commodities to the tariff list or their removal from it. Recommendations if placed before Congress would have to be acted upon within a certain period. To avert “log rolling” it would be provided that rate changes recommended would have to be acted upon alone—without amendments including other articles The present bi-partisan Tariff Come mission has authority to recommend changes only to the President.
