A resolution by Barons and others threatened to end most favored nation status with any country not granting reciprocity. Liberal critics warned of a possible tariff war, while conservatives reviewed U.S. parliamentary practice noting filibustering’s decline. The Reichstag adjourned to Tuesday due to a Catholic holiday.
