TARIFF BOARDS REPORT
FORWARDED TO SENATE
President Taft Responds to
Resolution Offered by Sen
atOr CumminS.

President Taft's response to a. resolu-
ton introduced in the Senate by Mr..
Cummins of Iowa, asking for data gath
cred by the tariff board in respect to
articles covered by the Canadian reci-
procity agreement and many articles
which the agreement does not include.
was read in the Senate today. The
answer by the executive probably will
prove unsatisfactory to the Iowa senator,
unless it was his purpose to show by
statements from the board that there has
been insufficient information gathered to
proceed intelligently with tariff discus
sion Of the articles named.
Enumeration of Articles.
The inquiry by the Cummins resolu-
ton embraced pulp wood, wood pulp, pa
per, wool, woolen thread, cloth and cloth
ing: cotton thread. cloth and clothing
carpets, boots and shoes, iron ore, pig
iron, and manufactured iron and steel,
agricultural implements, COAL meats,
-four and lumber.
The President transmitted the informa-
ton concerning such articles as are in
cluded by the Canadian agreement. He
said IN his communication:
II transmit herewith a report from the
tariff board giving the information in its
possession relating to pulp wood, pulp
and news print paper, and farm products
Gncluding live stock, and current reIa-
tive prices in Canada and the United
States of wheat, barley and food prod
ucts of the farm. including meats, poul-
try and eggs, dairy products and vege-
tables.
Not Available for Transmission.
"The tariff board reports that it's infor-
nation with reference to the following
articles, especially mentioned, iron ore,
pig iron and manufactured articles Of
iron and steel, agricultural implements.
coal and lumber. is not available for
transmission.
Snecifying the other articles named,
the President said in his letter OF trans
initial that iniormaio concerning them
was not included, because they We're no.
embraced in the bill under consideratlo.i
and because the material in the posses
sion of the tariff board was not in con-
dition for immediate transmission.
Letter of Explanation.
Accompanying the great mass of tables
and data of all kinds bearing upon labor,
manufacturing costs, prices Of raw ma
terial which enter into manufactures of
all kinds, and other material too ex-
haustive to permit of analyses, was a
letter from the members of the tariff
board.
This communication stated that the
reports in question, especially those re-
lating to pulp and news print paper.
were not final. and that price figures
were not included
The evident purpose Of Mr.. Cummins
in presenting his resolution was to
show that the tariff board did not take
into consideration articles which farm
ers must buy in making an agreement.
which. opponents of the Mccall bill in
sist affects only such articles as the
farmer has to sell.

existed.
