Reasons for Objection to Tariff Plan Cited by Hoover
President Hoover has objected to removing cement from the free list in the tariff bill to shield eastern seaboard and Gulf Coast manufacturers including North American Cement Corp. at Security. The eight cent per hundred duty on foreign cement aims to counter Belgium competition, with Belgian cement entering as ballast on steamers. Officials warn a proposed shingles duty could hurt the wooden shingle industry. Advisers seek a sliding scale sugar duty to protect American cane and beet producers from foreign excess production.
