WASHINGTON, April 11.—UP)
—rPresident Hoover's request for
a tariff revision to benefit agri-
culture seemed nearer than ever
to realization today us the result
of acceptance of house und senate
couferees of the high senate ag-
ricultural rates.
The bill, however, has not bcui
confined to a limited revision of
industrial schedules to benefit
those in particular need of help,
hut raises such rates generally in
the opinion of many democrat!!
and independent republican sen-
ators. Some of these have indi-
cated they will not vote for It if
the debenture clause is omitted.
The conferees late yesterday
disposed of the entire agricultural
schedule, except long staple col
ton and eggs. By approving the
senate rates on farm products
they gave agricultural interests
the highest protective tariff they
ever have enjoyed.
