DISCRIMINATION MUST CEASE,

outlined in the interview with Bellamy
Storrer before his sailing for Europe,
looking TO making vigorous representa-
tions to Great Britain, Germany and
Belgium and doubtless to France, for q
modification OF the discriminating
measures against American cattle, is
the result OF the indefatigable efforts
Of Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson to
combat the prejudices Of the Old World
against our farm products and to secure
to our exporters at least the same rights
as are enjoyed by those OF other coun-
tries. Evef since the new administra-
tion began, Secretary Wilson has been
pushing this matter. He has had fire.

and Secretary Sherman on the subject
Several new diplomatic appointees have
had conferences with the agricultural
department officials, at which questions
OF this kind were discussed and the
situation explained.
The state department is now cooper
hunR III tne movement ana IN VaIlour
ways has instructed It's representatives
going to the countries named to state
their cause to the respective govern
ments, setting out the determinations
imposed on our products, together with
data showing them to be unjustiiable.
These statements will also show that
the restrictions placed on American cat
tie preclude any material danger OF
loss by disease or otherwise.
Official reports Of experts in the field
will be cited TO demonstrate that
American cattle products show a great
er exemption from disease than those
Of practically all other countries.
These representations will be accom-
panied by the significant warning that
il the unjust discriminating measures
are continued, proper action will have
TO be taken by this government Dis
eliminating nations will be given Ia
understand that the rights of Ameri-
can exporters must be recognized, OF
else privileges accorded foreign pro
ducers will be withdrawn.
