Trust Grip Stronger Cites Data to the Senate in Tariff Fight
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska argues for a graduated income tax on tobacco production and blasts the Democratic caucus for restraining his amendment. He cites Treasury data showing four tobacco firms owned by the same stockholders controlled a large share of U S tobacco, cigars, and cigarettes. The tobacco schedule passed with no changes while other schedules saw amendments defeated or deferred. Latin American governments protest a one tenth of a cent per pound banana duty, warning it could shift banana trade to Europe.
