Senator Depew on the Tariff for Puerto Rico
In the Senate Chauncey M. Depew argues for a two year tariff plan to fund Puerto Rico’s recovery after the hurricane. He claims it will benefit Puerto Rico through funding schools roads and public services while limiting trusts and keeping duties on imports from the island. He contrasts free trade with the measure and defends congressional authority over new territories.
