SENDS ASSURANCE
TO FRUIT GROWERS
Needham Confident of Securing
Lower Tariffs on Shipments
to Canada
Special Dispatch to The Call

STOCKTON, Dec. In response to
a communication from the fruit inter
ests of San Joaquin county urging a
tariff measure authorizing the tpresi
dent to make trade agreements with
Canada mutually modifying tariffs on
lumber and fruits, Congressman j. G.
Needham has written that the ways
and means committee is carefully con-
sidering a new tariff bill which it is
expected will be presented at an extra
session in March next.
Needham assures the fruitmen that
everything possible will be done to
benefit them. Relative to the Canadian
phase of the matter. he said that arti-
cles entering Canada can not be sregu-
lated except by authorizing the presi-
dent to enter into trade agreements,
yet he believes that some general pro-
vision can be placed in the bill which
will make it possible to meet and deal
with the problem to the ultimate gain
of the fruit interests of California
The proposed policy will work par
ticularly to the advantage of grape
growers. The tariff on carload of
grapes is very high, amounting to
s400 or $500 A carload of grapes
from this county was sold in
Canadian city for $1.s97. In the same
shipments cars sold In American cities
for 81 900. 1t is evident that the Cana
dians want California grapes, but the
tariff is so high that it is too risky
to ship quantities across the border.
The removal of the tariff on lumber
will in the end work to the advantage
of this country, Notwithstanding its
gain to Canada.
