President Harding backs temporary tariff in clash with Senate leaders
Washington March 17 A sharp split over tariff and tax legislation at the upcoming special session pits President Harding against Senate Finance Committee Chairman Penrose and House Ways and Means Chairman Fordney. The President favors a temporary Payne Aldrich revision to aid farmers, followed by the revenue bill, while leaders want the permanent tariff first. They warn the emergency tariff is impractical and time consuming to pass as a temporary measure. A western delegation urged an wool embargo to curb imports from Australia and New Zealand, which the President said he would study with Agriculture Secretary Wallace.
