The treaty with Argentina pro-
poses u reduction In the tariff ON
wool coming from that country OF
20 per cent. That IL to say, instead
of paying IL cents a pound, Argen-
tina wool would only pay S.S cents
per pound.
As Argentina 10 one OF the great

in woolgro wing, this proposed con-
cesssion Immediately aroused the an
tagonism Of all the representatives
in congress Of wool growing states

This opposition was reinforced by
that Of the cattle raisers, because the
proposed treaty also contained a
provision giving ~ per cent
reduction on Argentina hides, the
rate being made for them II per cent

Friends of the general reciprocity
