THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY s, 1929 PAGE FIVE So ---- UNITED STATES TARIFF MEASURE DEALS HEAVY BLOW AT CANADA ' Prohibitive Tariff Is Proposed on Practically all Farm Prod- ucts Which Are From Canada to the United Exported States--About $35,000,000 Worth of Canadian Ex- ports Are Affected by the New Schedule #4 By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Fone to) 8--The ways and means committee of the house of representatives presented to the 3ouse yesterday a new tariff sche- ul In the grains, the bill would make two prineipal changes: in- crease the corn tariff from 15 cents to 26 cents a bushel and rice from 2 to 2} cents a pound. No altera- tion in the 42 cents a bushel duty on wheat, fixed by present duty, was proposed. A general step-up in the duties on products of the dairy industry would be made. The rate on fresh milk would be doubled at five cents a gallon, while the rate on cream was proposed at 48 cents a gallon ag against 20 cents at present. Sweetened milk, condensed or evaporated, would carry a rate of 2% cents a pound, against 13 cents, while unsweetened, condensed or evaporated milk would be boostea from one cent to 1 4-10 cents a pound. The existing rate of 12 cents a pound on butter, fixed by the pre- sident, would be unchanged, along with the presidential rate of seven cents a pound on cheese and sub- stitutes. Substantial changes affecting the cattle and hog industry were pro- posed. The duty on swine would be increased from one-half a cent a pound to two cents; while that of fresh pork would be advancuu from three-quarters of a. cent to 23 cents, a Duties on eattle would not be changed, but the rate on fresh beef and veal would be raised 100 per cent. to 6 cents a pound. Sheep, lambs and goats would carry a duty of $3 a head against the pres- ent $2, with the rate on fresh lamb 7 cents a pound instead of 4 cents, Building Materials. : In building materials of five principal commodities," iron and steel remained practically unchang- ed, with the exception of duties on hardening materials. Logs ana lumber of pine, fir, spruce and hem- lock remained on the free list, but cedar shingles and lumber were transferred from the free list and given a duty of 25 per cent., ad va- lorem. Maple and birch lumber al- so were taken from the free list and made dutiable at 15 per cent. ad valorem. Common building brick, another free list commodity, was made du- tiable at $1.25 a thousand. Hy- draulic cement also now on the free list, was given a rate of 8 cents a hundred pounds to protect seaboard manufacturers from for- eign competition, Hides remain on the free list, to- gether with shoe leather and lea- ther boots and shoes. The major- ity of the committee also ignored requests to take from the free trade category raw jute, bananas and many other commodities not pro- duced in the United States. In Chemical Schedule Rates in the chemical schedule were changed in the case of 30 commodities, of which 33 were in- creases and six decreases. Some of the increases represent compensa- tory duties only, Among the oils, an fincreasea duty from 3.3 cents to 4.16 cents a pound on flaxseed or linseed oil was proposed, The rate on Soy bean ofl would be.stepped up from 2% cents to five cents a pound as compensatory for the increased duty on the raw product. Effect on Canada Ottawa, May 8.--Except in live cattle the United States iu the tariff revision announced yester- day prohibitive tariff on practi- cally all Canadian products, of the farm, sea and forest. It is ex- pected that before Senator Borah permits the revision to pass the senate, live cattle will share the fate of hogs, sheep, dairy prodnecs and forset products. Before the revision there were prohibitive duties and regulations on fish, potatoes and grain, with the ex- ception of flax, so that the U.S. tariff committee specializea ou other products In all, about $35,000,000 worth of Canadian exports to United States are affected by the propos- ed revision, and it is believed this amount will be increased beiore the work is completed. It 1s a most drastic blow against Canada and the Argentine, being aimed particularly at these two countries, but most directly and effectively at Canada. Western members are congratulating themselves there is no change in the live cattle duty as Canada shipped nearly 400,000 cattlt, mostly stockers, to the U.S. last year, and the majority of these were from the prairies. Sena tor Borah represents a cattle country and being the ranking Re- Greatly Relieved From Her Troubles LL bee: back and swollen ach 1y years," writes Mrs, ptiste, of Golden Lake, t, "Afriend reco, Dodd's Kidney Pills and I took six boxes.

Last year Canada shipped to the United States milk products to the value of over $10,000,000, The cheese exported to that country was valued at $2,444,462. The in- crease in duties on milk, cheese, cream, condensed milk and other milk products ranged from 50 to 100 per cent. and make exports of these to United States prohibit- ed. There is no increase in the duty on butter but as Canada is a butter-importing country, and $101,000 to the United States last year, there was no necessity to make the duty any greater.

Last year Canada shipped $6,712,837 of shingles to the United States, as shingles were on the free list, The duty proposed is 25 .per cent. ad valorem and is prohibitive. Lum- ber of cedar and the like, now free, also must bear a 25 per cent. duty, and last year, of cedar alone, Can- ada shipped to the United States nearly a $1,000,000 worth, and un- der the classifcation namea, p.uv- bly another $2,000,000 worth of Canadian lumber products will be affected. Maple and birch largely shipped from Canada to the Unit- ed States formerly free, will be dutiable 15 per cent. ad valorem. Cattle Duties the Same Cattle duties remain the same, but the sheep and swine duties are increased from $2 to $3 per head, and on lambs from 4 to 7 cents per pound. The duty on fresh beef and veal is advanced from 3 to 6 cents per pound, and on cheese, from 5 to 7 cents. These duties are practically prohibitive. The United States, owing to climatic conditions, largely sup- plies Canada's early vegetable market. Not content with this, the new tariff proposes to completely shut out certain Canadian vege- tables from the American market by increasing the duty on dry beans, from 3% cents to 214 cénts per pound and on green beans, from 1% to 3% cents per pound. Duties are increased on onions from 1 cent per pound to 1% cents, on tomatoes, from 314 cent per pound to 3 cents per pound. Wheat Duty Prohibitive The present duty of 43 cents per bushel on wheat is prohibitive, so there was no necessi.y of rais- ing the tariff to keep Canadian wheat out of the United States. It is the same with oats, barley and rye. Last year, Canada ship- ped 2,170,000 bushels of flax seed to 'the United States, valued at 4,290,000, paying a duty of 40 cents per bushel. The duty on flax seed is now increased to 56 cents per bushel, making its .entry into the United Statse impossible. This ic one of the questions that has caused much feeling between Ar- gentina and the United States, and it is believed that Argentina will enter a strong protest against the increased duty on flax seed. Leaders Reticent Ottawa, May 8.--All political party leaders are adverse to ex- pressing opinions on the United States tariff revision and how this fay affect Canadian products, until they have more information. There is also the uncertainty as to what additions or deductions on the proposed duties may be made in the United States senate. It is evident the government supporters purpose stressing the fact that the tariff revision dobs not add to the duty on Canadian live cattle entering the United States. They are ignoring the heavy im- ports on dairy products, lumber, shingles, vegetables and other pro- ducts, and apparently think Can- ada should be thankful the tariff attack is not worse. Premier King,, Hon. R. B. Ben- nett and Hon. James Robb all declined to comment until the full text of the resolutions were available for consideration. Hon. W. R. Motherwell was not at all reticent and said, "The increase in the United States duties will hurt the dairy farmers of On- tario and Quebec who ship their cream and milk® to the United States, but I am glad to see that potatoes and live cattle have got off scot free. PRISONER ESCAPES VIGILANCE OF GUARDS Sorel, Que., May 8.--Escaping the vigilance of guards while he was at work with other prisoners fn. the fields outside the Sorel jail, D.

LONGER - SENTENCES WANTED BY 'FOX Home Secretary Urges Sent- ences 'Long Enough To * * Permit Remedial Work London May 8.--If magistrates feel they must impose a sentence lof imprisonment, let the sentence Ibe long enough to give the prison '| authorities a chance of making it remedial and not merely deterrent. This was the plea submitted by Sir William . Joynson-Hicks when he addressed the discharged Pri- soners' Aid Society. As Home Sec- retary Sir William {is responsible for the conduct of prisons and for any revision in the length of sen- tences. "I know it will make it worse for the Home Secretary" he continued. "There will be complaints and pressure put on him to let people out of prison because three months | is too long for the crime. But I will stand the racket of that." It was impossible to do anything in building up the character of a man under three months. = Hard labors in some prisons to-day was the real thing, not of the old types but real work, physical drill, men- tal education, and attempts at mor- al impovement. "I want to protest against short sentences,"" he continued. "They make it almost impossible for the work of the Prison Commissioners to be as remedial as it ought to be." Out of every 100 women senten- ced on an average only two get more than six months, while 81 per cent got less than a month. It was impossible for the prison author- ities to do any good at dll with that 81 per cent. Of men 59 per Sent. got less than a month, he said. FISHERMEN MAKER STRANGE CATCH Provincetown, Mass.,, May 8.-- Noah and Jonah and the other tellers of tall tales of fish and fishing will henceforth have a rival in Capt. Salvatore Tringali of the flounder dragger Figle. Captain Tringali was sticking strictly to the business of gathering the flat fish from the bottom of the sea when there was a heavy tug on his net. At first he thought he had caught a huge fish possible a bably whale, and the net was hauled in, not without difficulty. As the net approached the surface he caught sight of his "fish", a dark metallic object some 25 feet long. As its nose broke the surface Capt. Tringali shuddered with apprehen- sion, for his catch was a govern- ment torpedo. But Capt. Tringall is a fisherman who brings\ proof of his catches, so he towed the torpedo into Provincetown hirbor and notified the coast guard, He received a $50 reward from the government, which had advertised the loss of the torpedo from the navy's biggest submarine V-4.
