The new flexible provision established the responsibility for revisions upon a reorganized Tariff Commission, composed of members equal of both parties as a definite rate making body.

Certainly no President, with his other duties, can pretend to make that exhaustive determination of the complex facts which surround each of those 3,300 items.

Nothing would contribute to retard business recovery more than this continued agitation.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by law the tract of land hereinafter described, to be known as the Cerro Tigre Ordnance Depot, situated in the Canal Zone, is hereby set apart and assigned to the uses and purposes of a military…

All of said lands are within the limits of Huron National Forest, having been reserved for forest purposes by proclamations of February 11, 1909, and July 30, 1928, which remain in full force and effect as to said lands.

Thereby the means are established for objective and judicial review of these rates upon principles laid down by the Congress, free from pressures inherent in legislative action.

I do not assume the rate structure in this or any other tariff bill is perfect, but I am convinced that the disposal of the whole question is urgent.

This tariff law is like all other tariff legislation, whether framed primarily upon a protective or a revenue basis.

I believe that the flexible provisions can within reasonable time remedy inequalities.

It is urgent that the uncertainties in the business world which have been added to by the long-extended debate of the measure should be ended.

Without a workable flexible provision we would require even more frequent congressional tariff revision than during the past.

No tariff bill has ever been enacted or ever will be enacted under the present system that will be perfect.
