Last week Low-Tariff Mr. Costigan added that High-Tariff Mr. Marvin was "tireless and fanatical"; that his continued membership on the Commission impaired its usefulness and reputation. He criticized two other members of the Commission-Edgar B. Brossard of Utah and Sherman J. Lowell of New York-for belonging to the "Marvin group." He attacked President Coolidge for disposing of former Commissioners, notably David J. Lewis of Maryland, when their views and actions displeased.

Mr. Brossard has served the Commission as an economist since 1923, and is represented as a high tariff advocate. Senator Smoot recommended him. This is President Coolidge's third appointment to the Commission-all three, including one Conservative Democrat, are high-tariff advocates. With Chairman Marvin and Mr. Glassie, who are of the same opinions, the high-tariff advocates control the Commission five to one. A year ago, a low-tariff group of Democrats and Progressive Republicans controlled the Commission...
