Senate approves reciprocal tariff bill amid heated debate
In Washington on June 5 the Senate passed the administration reciprocal tariff bill by 83 to 57, sending it back to the House after 2.5 weeks of debate. The measure allows the President to negotiate trade agreements without Senate approval, aiming to regain foreign commerce. A dramatic exchange centered on an amendment about excise taxes on imported oils and metals, with reactions from Harrison, Long, Ashurst, and others. Montana gasoline tax collections rose in early 1934 compared with 1933.
