Senate Tariff Storm: Capper Calls Bill a Monstrosity
Washington reports a fierce farmer and housewife protest over new tariff duties. Capper of Kansas urges Senate to rewrite the House measure, arguing it raises the cost of living by about 500 million dollars, fails to aid agriculture, and skirts protections for livestock and key staples. He criticizes specific duties on lumber, cement, hides, sugar, and pulp products while praising some increases for agriculture and livestock. The senator warns the House bill would be unrecognizable after Senate action in September.

Dead Sea potash project eyed as source of supply
Dead Sea deposits have held about twelve hundred billion dollars in potash bromides and chlorides over thirty thousand years. A 75 year concession would require removal of 10 600 tons yearly for ten years and 50 000 tons annually thereafter, with power plants and railways planned to Haifa and Jaffa for ocean shipments. The move could create fierce competition for Strassforth mines and may lower prices, though mergers make outcomes uncertain. Report notes wartime price surges and current US farmer costs.
