Senate debates cyanide profits in tariff fight
In Washington on May 3 Senator Smoot led a crossfire over duty for the Rochester Passacher Chemical Company of New York, once German owned. Proponents argued a 10 percent ad valorem tariff was needed to protect the American cyanide industry from German and Canadian rivals, while opponents labeled the profits as robbery and warned the industry would collapse without protection. Senator Pittman cited alleged transfer of stock to German-Americans before the war and claimed the company showed as high as 909 percent profits, asserting the tariff would not preserve German interests but shield an American owned plant from competition.
