Tariff Revision Likely Delayed in Congress
Representative McCall, a Republican insurgent, says no tariff revision or reform bills will be raised this session. He notes about sixty working days remain, with total appropriations near 850000000 and daily costs around 15000, urging focus on business-like budgeting over other issues. He criticizes Democrats for not centering tariff reform and predicts an extra session may be needed if tariff revision is to occur. He dismisses fears of a Roosevelt comeback and suggests Bryan could secure the Democratic nomination if he seeks it. He downplays Japan tensions, believing no serious breach will occur and that issues can be resolved.
