cause Of the report that American mills
were taking up the work OF express
ing soy beam oil and hence were max
ing purchases Of the bean from the Far
East. The Japanese had expected that
our mills would busy themselves with
beans grown in the l.. S. A, but the
consul says: 1T is doubtful, however,
if the quantity Of homegrown beans ia
anywhere near large enough 10 sup
ply many mills"
Well. why not make it large enough.
The Republican tariff put an import
duty Of ~ cents hushel (l60 pounds)
on SOY beans and made oil free. The
Democratic law permits both TO enter
free. The correct way would be to
restore the duty on the beans and put
u protective rate on the oil That
would encourage our growers and our
oil cxprcsscrs. This soy bean is be-
coming very remarkable article of
commerce. Of which little was known
