were among those who spoke In favor
of the admission of foreign potatoes.
Representations have been made to
the American department of agriculture
that in view of the short domestic po-

drought the exclusion Of foreign pota'
toes would go far toward raising prices

against amy P0y fo WoerGDy hs eoTntrS
A few members, however, urged that il
would be wise to permit the entry, OF

Dr. Gussow declared that United

cient investigation of the potato crop
In his country on which to base a
recommendation that the whole crop
should be barred from this country be-
cause of disease. He said American
agents had gone into Canada to in
