General Debate on Tariff Begins in Senate
The Senate opened general debate on the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill amid Democratic control.

Critics focus on the income tax and bonded warehouse provisions, while the bill envisions substantial imports free of duty and a retaliatory duties tool for the president.
