Dennis Blames Tariff Commission Mismanagement
Democrat Commissioner Dennis testified before the Senate tariff investigating committee that the tariff law has been badly administered by the current tariff commission. He blamed Chairman Marvin and members Glassie Brossard and Baldwin for bias and unfair focus on the tariff question. He said the commission has broken down and he lost faith in administration six months ago. He recounted turning down an earlier offer to join the commission, noting President Coolidge kept the post open for him later. He dismissed insinuations that the president sought Lewis’s resignation to sway votes.
