Tariff reform plan seeks one schedule at a time
The tariff board plans to study schedules in detail but expects no report during the current Congress. It aims to present findings at the next session and stresses the need for one schedule at a time to avoid stagnation and broad revision. The plan favors a permanent tariff commission and nonpartisan study of banking and currency to support national growth.
