May 25 A typical example of incx- cuseable blundering by Con cress in the enactment of a statute has been argoed re re'utly before the Court Customs Appeals. The court is .asked . to interpret the , meaning of paragraph 408 of the Underwood tariff act the first important Jaw o the present administration The paragraph provides free entry for "waste of any f the articles there, in de scribed "SUITABLE for the manufacture of paper. . Care less use of the word "suitable' in drafting the law plunged it into u ncertAinty, for it ad mits a wide latitude of con struction. Will free entry be given to any thing that might be used for paper making; of must waste be used only in paper making in order to enter f ree of duty ?
