Tariff Commission Plans Face White House Debate
President Wilson and Chairman Kitchin discussed creating a tariff commission to study schedules and avoid new bodies. A split emerged on whether to combine powers with the federal trade commission, with some urging a separate non partisan panel to gather facts for Congress. Advocates foresee anti dumping measures and possible tariff changes after the war. A separate note urges Wilson to back a neutral conference to end the European war and to advocate Jews protection in Poland. Water power lease reform seeks federal and state share and 50 year terms under interstate and intrastate rules.
