Professor F. W. Taussig '79, Chairman of the United States Tariff Commission from 1917 to 1919, will speak before an open forum held by the Harvard Democratic Club in the Living Room of the Union tonight at 8 o'clock.

Before the lecture Professor Taussig will dine with the Democratic Club at 6.30 o'clock.

Discussing his speech with a CRIMSON reporter last night he said that he would speak on "both political parties and the tariff, more particularly the Democratic party and the tariff question. I will treat problems of the recent past and of the present which bear on the subject. Then I will go into the questions which will present themselves during the next Presidential campaign." After his lecture Professor Taussig will be very glad to answer any questions put to him by members of the audience.

Professor Taussig has for many years been closely in touch with the problem which is to be discussed. He is the author of a "Tariff History of the United States". "The Silver Situation in the United State", "Free Trade, the Tariff and Reciprocity" and several other works.
