AMERICAN TARIFF
ADEQUATE PROTECTION FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE.
(Rec. April 1, 11-20 p.m.)
Washington, April 1
The Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Wallace, in a statement declared that practically all agricultural products should be immediately given adequate protection against foreign competition by tariff legislation or other means. He added: “It would' be a mistake to permit the tariff to lie so low that manufacturers sending ships loaded with their products abroad could have them return with foodstuffs and other agricultural products which could be marketed here at a. lower price than they could be produced m America.” He pointed out that this would force farmers and stockmen to reduce production, thus leading io an era of high prices in the future.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
