WASHINGTON, April 2l.-Additions
to the list of restricted imports an
nounc.ed to-day by the War Trade
Board are expected to release $4,000
deadweight tons of shipping for war
uses. This will make a total of
1,657,o00 tons available annually until
the war is won, through lessening de-
mands for foreign goods which the
country can do without.
The largest single item on the list of
savings is quebracho wood, used in
tanning, the restriction on this being
estimated to save $4,000 tons. The
wood still can be brought in if carried
as deckload or in vessels unfit for es-
sential imports.
Business Men Consulted
Hearings were held on suggestions to
restrict many of the commodities, SO
that business men might say exactly
what effect the restrictions would have
on industry. Inclusion of many COM
modltles in the restricted list does not
mean that any appreciabc shortage
Will result, as the effort has been to
include those of which there is an
ample supply on hand, which can be
produced at home or obtained over
land from adjacent countries.

May 13. The prohibited articles and
