Tariff Effects on Merchant Marine Debate 1920 Act
Washington July 27 The argument that the 1920 merchant marine tariff would greatly raise customs receipts is analyzed. The Aldrich tariff raised duties sharply in 1909 and 1910, with a large revenue gain. Projections suggest the 1920 act could have more than doubled prewar duties if applied to 1919 imports, depending on how obstructions to treaties are handled and how much cargo moved by foreign ships.
