MILSON BY VETO EXPECTED 10 STOP ~“POP-GUN” TARIFF slapd | GO. P. Adopts Tactics of Democrats Near End of Taft Administration. BoP TO THE FARMERS. an Place Blafne on Wilson . and Put Through Real } Revision Next Year. i By David Lawrence. | KSpecial Correspondent of the Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, Deo. 21 (Copy- right, 1920).—The days of the “pop- gun" tariff bill are here again, but this time the Repubticans, instead of €he Democrats, are planning to bom- bard the White House with tariff fmeasures they know cannot possibly feet Executive approval, Unquestionably there {s a clamor for tariff revision and it comes from ‘wcattered sections of the country there economic theory and economic fact are at odds and the produceré feel that a tariff will help them Against foreign competitions. But the Republican Party which wontrols both Houses of Congress thas always been the party of tariff protection and it has been impossible to answer the demand for tariff legis- Jation by simply saying President {Wilson would not permit tariff pro- posals to become law. So the Republicans have about de- @ided to square themselves with their Gonstituents and demonstrate that Whe White House is the real obstacle after all. ‘MAFT HAD TO VETO “POP-GUN” BILLS. Some of the tariff measures being proposed have been so hastily con- eeived that if President Wilson did ign some of them there would bo a shock on Capitol Hill that would be heard around the country. For the Republicans do not expect Mr. ‘Wilson to sign*protectionist measures @ny more than the Democrats ex- pected Mr. Taft to approve them in duced to some unworkable minimums. Tt is interesting to recall that when the Democrats obtained full poases- sion in 1912 of all branches of the Government, including the Exeoutive, they didn’t offer the same set of tariff bills upon which they had forced Mr. Taft's veto, but an entirely new set, much more carefully considered and carrying a higher écale of duties. Another sidelight on the situation is that the people who really have sponsored most of the protective measures in recent yeara do not re- gard the present tariff discussion serlously. Their lobbyists aren't even om the job, The truth is the Repub- licqns had a general understanding that nothing would be attempted in the present session of Congress and notification to that effect was con- yoyed to all the interests affected. PRESENT AGITATION DUE TO THE FARMERS. However, the farmers came to Washington and through their nu- taerous onganizations started the present tariff agitation in the hope that something immediate might be done to cure the financial crisis in the agricultural world. Manufactur- ing interests of the Hast are not @ bit pleased over the invasion by the farmers and sincerely hope the whole tariff effort will be blocked at this aeasion of Congress. It is pointed qut by manufacturers who don’t want the kind of tariff pro- posed that the farmers are inconsist- ent in demanding the reyival of the War Finance Corporation to finance the export of farm products while at the same time they would impose a tariff amounting to an embargo on the importation of farm products. It fs insisted that by reciprocity alone can foreign trade be stimulated, and that the rates of exchange will not improve until America manifests more of a give-and-take spirit in making tariff duties. RECIPROCITY NECESSARY FOR REVIVAL OF TRADE. trade measures is expected to be re- vived as a consequence of the ab- normal trade conditions. Otherwise the foreign countries, it is suggested, will impose retaliatory tariffs and America will not be able to sell abroad in free competition with other coun- tries which do not impose high tariffs. Moreover, a new alignment may be looked ‘for when the Fordney Tariff Bill, just reported in the House of Representatives gets over to the Senate, Instead of finding a natural prospects are that the Eastern Re- publicans representing large manu- facturing and banking communities will have a different viewpoint from that of the agriculture West and South, There is no certainty that any the fall of 1911 when the Democrats had obtained possession of the House | present Senate, where the Republican nd began to fire “pop-gun” tariff bills at Mr. Taft with tariff duties re- Spea WILLIAM AND MARY PERIOD, Mahogany finish, tapentey upholstered, cane | back Arm ie ing Ge D350 Dies FERN STAND, finished in Antique Brown Mahogany, with removable flower box and unique water tariff measure could be passed in the majority is slender, but @ coalition The whole question of teciprocal> Democratic and Republican division, | recent resolution reviving the War Finance Copporation is, of course, possible. But the Southern Senators are di+ vided on the tariff question and the Fordney measure may remain .the pop-gun effort of only one House in- stead of Congress as a whole, In any event the public can rest assured that nothing vital on the swbject of tariff revision will be done until a special session of Congress is con- vened by President Harding.
