cfal poultrymen in the United States. From the majority of these we have had answers stating that they were alive to the necessity of action along the lines outlined above and were working upon their representatives ln congress to give them the necessary protection upon the tariff bill which is now being framed. Besides this, we have sent out more than 1,200 letters 0 chambers of commerce in the states listed above, from which the majority of eggs which are produced in the United States actually come.
 After carefully considering all phases of this question the consensus of opin- ion has been that American poultry men must have a tariff of 12 cents per dozen upon all imported eggs Tn shell, 15 cents per pound upon frozen eggs and egg meats, 45 cents per pound upon all dried eggs or desiccated egg products; upon poultry, alive, cents per pound, and upon dressed poultry, | cents per pound. We believe that these figures have been accepted by every party with whom we have been in touch as those which will be unan imously requested in the next perma nent tariff bill.
 The poultry industry in the United States in both the years of 1919 and 1920 produced an actual increase of wealth to this country of approximate ly s1.250,OOO and supports either or indirectly over 100000 people in the United States. If importation of poultry products from China and oth- CT countries whose standard of living lis so far below that of America can not be impeded or stopped. absolute ruin seems to be imminent for the | commercial poultry industry in the United States.
 | We ask that you keep in touch with us so that we may act tog gether in the securing of such legislation as will en- able us to keep the poultry industry
 of this country in a fairly prosperous 1 condition It is necessary that the widest publicity be given to this mat ter and we ask you to use every pos | sible means to secure stories covering the points enumerated above and any others which may seem valuable tc you in all agencies of publicity which | are available to you, and that yot impress upon your representatives 1T
 congress and your senators also the
 necessity of their insisting upon thu
 protection which we have outlined
 above. being written into the perma
 nent tariff bill which vii be formulated
 by the ways and means committe
 within the next 60 days and probabl,

 them within the next three or fou
 months.
