Section 22 Is Killed by Attorney General Opinion
The attorney general's long opinion on section 22 of the tariff bill is released after Cabinet review and attempts by Senator Elkins and Richard C. Kerens to sway it. It holds that foreign goods imported via Canada or British ports incur no 20 percent discriminatory duty and that section 4225 remains in force. The ruling disappoints American vessel owners and transcontinental railroads who saw the clause as a deliberate attack on Canadian and foreign interests.
