THE " OREGON DAILY JOURNAL; PORTLAND, OREGON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23. 1C21. I mm TARIFF WASMERESOPTO SOOTHE FORDN E Y By David Lawrence (Ooprricht, 1921. b Tbe Journal) Washington, March 23. The de cision of the Republican leaders in congress in agreement with Presi dent Harding to pass the Fordney emergency tariff bill in the same form as it was vetoed by Woodro Wilson at the last session of con gress, should be passed that much is certain, but many things point to the probability of a revision of the Fordney measure before it can pass. Everybody knows that the Fordney Mil as It passed both houses during the last session would never have had a chost of a show of passage If there had been the slightest chance of approval by Mr, Wilson. Accordingly, many things were Inserted in the bill, partly out of a desire to satisfy certain con stituents and partly out of an effort to make sure that the bill would be suf ficiently obnoxious to the Democratic executive as to bring about its veto. BILL IS COSDEMNEU " Leading Republicans have privately condemned the Fordney bill as unscien tific The plan to revive the measure and put it through both houses in the same form as it was passed will not suit because American business houses af fected by the measure will demand hear ings and subsequent changes in the bill. When once the Fordney bill is opewf up, other changes will be insisted upon. President Harding himself has already made one chantce a request that the measure apply for six months instead of 10. This will affect certain schedules because already certain changes in eco nomic conditions have occurred which render necessary adjustment. Senator Penrose has indicated that he means to fro .along with the plan to pass, the Kordney measure, which he originally wanted killed. . ; ' , . M'CCMBEB SOMEBSArXTS There's a story that Mr. Tenrose turned the management of the bill in the senate over to Senator ' McCumber of North Dakota in the belief that the latter, by a combination with the Demo crats, would surely bury the Fordney measure. But Mr. McCumber turned out to be an ardent champion of the bill, and the astute leaders of the Re publican congress are confronted with a perplexing problem.. They know that to revise the tariff in tKe present state of world Instability with costs of pro duction changing constantly - and price levels uncertain is to attempt a danger ous lob which may react politically. . -"ME, TOO," FOBDJTET But on the other hand, there are men like Representative Fordney of Michi gan, with whom the tariff Is a fetish and who must have a tariff bill put through to bear his name along with Messrs. Aldrlch. Payne, Dingley and other Republican leaders of bygone days. The real trouble. It is recognised, will come If the Fordney bill sends up the cost of living. Senator McCumber admits during the recent debate that the cost of sugar might rise and pos sibly other articles of food, but that It would help the farmer and other in terests and therefore was a good thing in the long run,. . ' .' ' POLlTICIAKS KOT 8TTBS '. ' The politicians arc not sure , that a rise In the cost of living right now would be received with enthusiasm by the great ' body : of : men and women voters who elect a new congress a year from next autumn. " Eastern Repub licans are for the most part counseling caution and are reminding ' the west enters of the fact that the Republican party lost control of the house in 1910 on precisely the same issue the alleged rise in - the cost '- of 'living after; the Aid rich-Payne I tariff bill was passed. If the tariff were to yield an Immense amount of revenue' and relieve the mass of folks of the high income taxes,; the leaders would go ahead with firm step and jam it through, but the tariff, it Is admitted, will not yield more than three or four hundred million dollars in a program of revenue raising that , re quires at least four billion dollars a year..; . t - -A' BEAXi BILL IN PHOSPECT The situation may be summed up thus: Mr. Fordney has had his way; there will be a tariff bill bearing j his name, but it will not be the same meas ure that was passed at the last session and it will not go through so quickly as may be surmised from reading the an nouncement by i the Republican ways and means committee. 1 Indeed, the 'vast number of interests who let the Ferdney bill go through ! by default, so to speak, because of the! certainty of a Wilson veto, will have i a great deal more to say this time and may so prolong the date as to make acute demand for tax legislation before there is tinkering with the tariff laws. ! ; - BRITAIN TO SEIID JADE AGENT TO MOSCOVVATQNCE By Ed Jj. Keen I London, March 23. (17. P.) Great Britain proceeded today to es tablish contact with soviet Russia. A, commissioner will be sent to Moscow at once, it was announced, to make preliminary-' arrangements for the opening of the trad under the riew agreement. ; -i I t 4 With this start; Great Britain threw off some of its dread of Bolshevism. Aid ing this process was the first statement Premier Lloyd George has made in de fense of his recognition of the soy lets as the defacto government in Russia. CHA5BE IS 8EE2C The premier In. commons last night made It clear that his information shows a great change . Is taking place in the beliefs of the communist leaders, V He declared It was certain that Lenin and his associates now realize a state cannot be rim on the theories of Karl Marx, Despite these official assurances there was a widespread belief that Lenin is not abrogating his Ideas. It was point ed out that the official text Of his speech before the communist party in Russia was filled with strong Qualifications and that the premier stressed the fact that any expedients j adopted now are but temporary. ; -v:-,f:'; ':' , 'A It was pointed out that Lenin hereto fore has shown a tendency to compro mise his communistic beliefs in order to get results from the rest of the world which ; still is on a capitalistic basis. v f - ' . ui :r' Bolshevik newspapers read here advo cate the acceptance of foreign capital to build up impoverished industries. They approved the premier's proposals for a lessening of Bolshevik i restrictions but declared there were better reasons than be ' advanced for admitting foreign capital. . " i-M.
