Edgar D. Crumpacker writes to President Roosevelt about rumors in the press that Roosevelt, House Speaker Joseph Gurney Cannon, and other Republicans plan to take a “stand pat” policy which would mean any policy changes related to tariffs would be off the table. Rank and file Republicans seek revisions to tariff schedules and customs duties and may not vote with the party if no action is taken. Crumpacker feels this decision will likely turn the House democratic.
