Practically ail of the democrats and a nrumber of the republicans including Chairman Gooding and other leaders of the agricultural tariff bloc, have indi- cated their opposition to the provisions in any form, while others on the ma- jority side, prominent amcng them Ser- ater Lenroot, of Wistonsin, have in- sisted upon a sharp curtailment of the troad authority the committee has pro- vosed shall be given to the president, Under the committee substitute, the chief executive would be authorized to increase or decrease taviff rates within a radius of fifty per cent if investiza- tion developed that such action were necessary to equalize “the differences in conditions of competitios in the prin- cipal markets of the United States asj between demestic and imported articles. should a fitty per cent advance in rates be found to be insufficient for this pur- Tose, the president, after investization, weald be authorized to base duties on the American wholesale selling price 1n- =lead of the foreign selling price and then to incrcase or decrease rates with- ‘n a radius of fifty per cent. Senator Lenroot urged 2 number of additional modifications which Chair- man McCumber of the finance commit- tee, sald he would accept. if neces?qry, to get the provisions written into ths bill. Instead of changes in rates being based upon differences in “conditions of compet:tion,” which woul dinclude costs. prices, transportation charges and othe:; ctors, Mr. Lenroot, insisted that th based solely or the differentes »f production.” The Wisconsin senator also subjected ta the plan by which dutfes could he ad- vanced 59 per cent on the basis of ihe American seiling. prics, declaring that sueh an incrase might amount to 100 Pr cent or more on the foreign valua- tion.
