BILLS WOULD BAR
FOREIGN GRAIN
North Dakotan Favors One
Year Embargo; Tariff In
stead of Free List.

Information reaching members OF
Congress yesterday that enormous
quantities OF grain are being
shipped into the United States from
Canada stirred talk of hurrying ac-
tion on the proposed grain, wool anc
cattle imports embargo, and in
vestigation of the Presidents power
to restrict the importations under
the anti-dumping law.
Two bills were introduced in the
lower branch of Congress yester-
day by Representative George NJ
Young, of North Dakota. chairman
of the subcommittee on Agriculture
of the Ways and Means Committee,
one of them proposing a complete
embargo for one year on wheat
wheat flour, barley, rye, oats, fax
wool, cotton, swine, cattle and sheep
The second bill by Young proposes
higher tariffs on certain items now
on the free list important among
them being: wheat. so cents q
bushel: rye. 20 cents: corn. 30 cents;
fax, so cents; sheep, s2.5O a head
and horses, $50 a head.
Representative Young announced
that he would press both measure.
for action, but that he expected
opposition. Young introduced a bill
Saturday proposing an extension OF
$lOO,OOO,0OO loans Jver a two-year
period to farmers by the Federal
Reserve Board through member
banks.
Senator Porter ]. McCumber. OF
North Dakota, in addressing the
Senate Saturday in support of ar
immediate embargo for the protec-
ton of farmers, pointed to the fact
that President Wilson has the powe,
to halt importations coming in with.
in the scope of the anti-dumpine
law, but that unless IL is shown thai
importations concerned are shipped
into this country at prices below
those prevailing in their native
markets the President could no,
act. He, therefore, favored an EN-.
barge on wool. grains and othel
commodities with which the coun.
try is overstocked.
Government guarantee of wheat
oats, max and corn prices for 1921
was advocated by w. H. Lyon. nj
Sioux Falls, 5. D., a member of tht
South Dakota legislature, before tn
Senate Committee on Agriculture
yesterday. He favored fixing IN,
price Of wheat at S2.25 a busheI
oats, I5 cents; corn, 50, and flax 50
all effective next June. He declared
that the guarantee would not re-.
quire that money be taken from IN.
