ASKS SENATE TO
GUARD INDUSTRY
Finley Mount, of LapOrte,
Asks Committee TO Protect
Farm Machinery.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-Finley
p. Mount, Of LapOTte, Ind. told the
senate finance committee late We'd
nesday that the American manufac-
turer OF farm machinery was en-
titled TO a duty against Canadian
farm machinery IN exactly the same
amount as Canada now imposes
against importations from the
United States.
He explained that the Canadian
government imposes a IN percent
duty on agricultural implements
plus an additional Importation tax
Of 1 percent while the United States
permits importations free Of duty.
This gives the Canadian manufac-
turer an advantage. he said. not
only IN connection with the Canadian
trade but IN competition for trade
in this country.
He produced figures which showed
that the value OF agricultural imple-
ments shipped 20 the United states
free, 80 percent o. which came from
Canada jumped from s664,327 in
1913 20 S5,55o,561 in 1920.
The Canadian manufacture, ne
said, from a. standpoint Of wages
and materials ia on a parity with
the American manufacture In SELL
ing threshing machines In the United
States. In his own market he en-
ioys the advantage OF the duty
against our machinery. He under
sells the American manufacturer in
the Canadian market and with the
rate Of exchange in his favor ne
can either underseu the American
manufacturer IN the United States
or make larger profits than the
American manufacturer"
