 Senator Smooit informed the corre- spondent of this newspaper today that If the wool and meat in question is delivered, and does enter the Amer can trade, it will ruin wool producers and cattle growers of the United States He has urged the President to declare all embargo.
 THE SHOOT LOGIC
 I. Is the contention of Senator Shoot that European producers are hurrying their products to the United Statesi for storage rather than immediate sale. He urged that if such products are i'm mediately stored, they will not be sub Ject to the very high duty which will subsequently, be imposed as result of the tariff bill which the Congress will enact.
 But, according to the senator's view point, even were the goods offered in trade, and the market so affected as to result in saving ito the consumers of the United States, there would be no economic justice involved. Rather than destroy the western wool pro ducers and cattle growers, he holds, IL would be proper to pro rate the cost of their continued existence among the eastern and southern consumers President Harding is loathe to resort to the war legislation which is still on the statute books to protect cer- tam western interests at the cost Of the consumer. But Senator Shoot holds that he may eventually be per suaded.
 VETO OF WILSON
 Treasury records slow a steady in crease in importation of necessities of life from Eui opean centers. The cost Of living in America Is reduced grad ually thereby. American producers, naturally, suffer that loss which would be gained were they able to sell their products in excess of their actual value. Republicans hold the veto of Presi- dent Wilson responsible for the distress of wool producers. Democrats ascribe to that veto the fact that the consume CT can secure greater value for his money. Thus the old issue of the tarifr asserts itself anew
 It Is the purpose of the republicans to enact temporary legislation immo- diately after the converting of the ex- t-aordinary session, April Il, to serve until such time as the permanent legis- lation can be prepared. The so .called emergency or agricultural bill might be called again into action; the Payne tarim bill might be resuseitated, or the republicans might be content with an | automatic increase of 33 Ia per cent | in all the rates of the Underwood bill
 TRANSPORTATION AGAIN
 The fact, however. that Europe again displays an ability to compete with American producers on such scale that American producers are already cryins out that they are ruined, is attributed not only to what has previously been demonstrated-that Europe can ship it's goods halfway around the world and sel, them here cneaper than To- cal products are sold--but to the ex- orbitant railroad rates which seriously handicap far westerner in efforts to reach eastern markets. The railroad question thus intrudes itself on the tariff problem, and makes it additionally evident that the ex- traordinary session will be more con 1 cerned with the one than the other of the Three Ts"-taxation, tariff, tranSnortatiou
