House and used by it. The board de-
clares it is conducting an inquiry
which involves original research work
that is world wide in its scope \
large amount Of material has already
been obtained
This incomplete information the
board says, necessarily is fraglnen-
taly in character and if transmitted
to Congress would be not only OF
doubtful utility but actually mislead =
ing. We shall develop the essential
facts in relation to both the wool
and cotton schedules in time for for
warding to Congress next December
and in this endeavor we are not only
working to the limit of the appro-
priation but to the utmost capacity
of our entire force.
The President says in part;
This language and an examination
Of the detailed account of what the
board is doing, contained therein, will
show that they have no further infor-
nation than that which has already
been transmitted to the committee on
ways and means in any form or con-
dition proper for transmission.
The board of experts was first en-
gagged i'm assisting the executive in the
discharge of his duties under the
maximum and minimum clause of the
Payne tariff bill. Its attention was
then directed to accommodating informal
ton for use in connection with the
reciprocity agreement made with
Canada and especially the comparative
cost of commodities IN Canada and in
the United States. the price of labor
and particularly farm labor in the two
countries and the cost of producing
paper and wood pulp on both sides of
the boundary.
THE boar3 of experts reports to me
that they will have full and complete
report on the subject of Schedule K
and its contents. the cost of produc
ton of wooden at home and abroad and
also upon the same facts in respect to
the cotton schedule, by the first of
December, when | shall be glad to sub
NIT it to Congress.

boards alone preventing it from filing.
