:o: -THE
ONLY WAY OUT
Senator Swanson of Virginia de
mands a general reduction of the
tariff rates established by the Haw-
ley-Smoot bill. These rates, he says,
are damaging American agriculture
and closing the markets of the worla
to our products. Australia, France,
Poland, Peru, Greece, Portugal, Fin
land, South Africa, Germany, Italy
and Canada have increased their cus
toms duties during the year. France
and Germany threaten to discontinue
treatment of the United States as a
'most favored nation" under the tar
iff laws. A union among European
states for protection against our
trade policies is projected. Our ex
ports have already fallen to the low
est point in six years, and industry
suffers from a depression of increas
ing severity. Nothing but a general
downward revision can undo the
damage.
But how is such a revision to be ac
complished? Certainly not through
the medium of the highly advertised
flexible clause. A general reduction
of rates by administrative fiat would
amount to a usurpation of legislative
authority. A President who consist
ently refused to assume the leader
ship of his party in the preparation
of the tariff bill would scarcely un
dertake a complete negation of its
work. Nor could he do bo, If he
would. The President, under the law,
cannot touch a single rate until the
Tariff Commission has made an in
vestigation. These investigations are
time-consuming. The sugar investi
gation took six. The tariff law covers
some 3000 items. In eight years the
Tariff Commission has made only 80
Investigations. There have been only
36 changes in rates.- At such a speed.
it would take the President 800 years
to overhaul the duties of the Haw
ley-Smoot bill.
The President's power is limited
under the new law, to accepting or
rejecting the changes which the com
mission recommends. The commis
sion may recomend increases rather
than decreases in duties. The rumor
that Mr. Hoover plans to retain Com
missioner Brossard, the protege of
Senator Smoot and the daring of the
Sugar Trust, as chairman of the
commission must be disquieting to
those who took to the flexible clause
as a means of relief, in view of the
36 changes of the last eight years. In
fact, the tariff has been boosted 31
times and lowered but five times
Many of the increases were import
ant. Ncne of the reductions was im
portant: mill feeds, cresylic acid
phenol, paint brush handles and Bob
White quail. President Hoover has
acted on only four of the changes
of duties which have been recom
mended to him. In each of these four
cases he raised the rate. As some
wag has remarked, the tariff is flex
ible like the elbow is flexible. It of
ten bends uoward: it never bends
downward.
If tariff reduction is not to come
from the President it must come from
Congress. But the country, we fear.
would approach with misgivings long
months of renewed hearings, debates.
log-rolling and agination. A repeti
tion of the tariff equabble of the last
session would increase business un
certainty and might serve to pro
long the present depression. There
can be small hope that the present
Congress would execute an aboutv
face on the tariff in the short session
next December. We might come out
from another tariff struggle worse off
than we went in.
It is to the next Congress, not to
the present one, that we must look
for relief. The party in power almost
always suffers congressional losses in
the mid-term elections. These losses
are even heavier when the election
follows a trade recession. The Repub
lican party faces the electorate this
November in the sorriest plight im
aginable, bearing the marks of a stock
market crash, a severe business de
pression, widespread unemployment
falling agricultural prices, decreas
ing exports and an extremely unpop
ular tariff bill.
The voters wil certainly cut the
administration majority. They may
even overturn the balance. The Sev
enty-second Congress, convening af
ter domestic business has artially re
vived, possessing a clear and unmis
takable mandate from the people,
may well undo the damage which has
been done by the Seventy-first.

even the greater height of the new

President Hoover believes, on per
sonal grounds that Senator Fess, of
Ohio, will make an acceptable chair
man of the Republican national exe

serves the means. He is an almost
