In addition to the drawback pro-
vision just discussed, there is in the
NJ cCumber tariff law, the
general rule that materials destined
fer manufacture for export, may be
imported duty-free, under bond. This,
likewise, is an ancient principle in our
tariff laws, and applies to all com
modities, not wheat alone.
AS it applies to wheat, however,
the procedure is for a mill that DE-
sires to manufacture flour from Cana
dian wheat, for export to foreign
markets, to apply for permission to
import wheat for that purpose. When
permission is granted, the entire mill
or some distant unit of the mill, is
placed under bond, subject to the SUI
pelvision of the Department of the
Treasury Of the United States.
Cannot Sell Flour Here
Both the drawback and the milling
in-bond provisions are conditioned
upon the requirement that all of the
flour milIed under them must be eX-
ported from the United States. 1t
is important to note in this cOnnec-
tion that while the importation of the
b%y-products from wheat milled in
bond is permitted under the law, sub
jet to the regular duty, the law does
NOT permit the Importation of the
flour, even if the importer were will
ing to pay the duty. Not a trickle OF
this flour escapes into the country.
l would like to quote from a letter
written me on August II by n. G.
Montgomery, chief, Foodstuffs Divis-
ion, Chamber Of Commerce, on this
point. He says:
"All of these mills e 8 4 are
under the supervision of a Treas
ury official night and day dur
ing the time bonded wheat is be-
ing ground. All the wheat that
comes into these mills for mill
ing in bond is recorded, and the
actual flour produced therefrom

cars; the cars are then sealed by

the Inspector and sent on to the
port Of export, consigned to the
Collector of Customs. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible that any of this
flour can remain in this country"
Location of Bonded Mills
have before me the complete list
OF mills bonded to grind wheat for
export on August %, 1924, together
with the date of the bonds approval.
There are just ten Of them; there Is
none in the west; none in the Mime
apolis, Duluth or Chicago districts.
The significant fact about this list
is that all of the mills are operating
under bond located either on the Great
Lakes or near the Atlantic seaboard,
where they enjoy the advantage of
cheap water transportation afforded
by the Great Lakes, and q short haul
to the sea.
OF the ten bonded mills, four are al
Buffalo, n. Y, n at Niagara Falls;
two at Lcckport, N. Y; n at Leas-
port, Pa; one at Toledo, Ohio, and
II at Detroit, Michigan.
Net n is in the trade territory in
which Montana hard spring wheat
finds its price-making market.
You can get a clearer understand
ing OF the situation if you picture {

side Of the st. Lawrence river. whic7

Canadian wheat. This flour canno,

Of wheat. They have no more effec:
on the domestic market than if they
were to move cross the st. Lawrence
river, and set up their business or
the Canadian side. The wheat moves
across the boundary, is milled into
flour, and the flour goes out again.
But, some will say, the flour made
from such wheat completes with our
domestic flour in the foreign market
That is true, but so doe2 flour made

As a last stand, those who attack
the milling-in-bond proviso might
claim that if these mills were denied
the right to import under bond, they
would be forced to buy American
wheat for export, and that as a result:
the American domestic wheat price
would rise behind thc tariff wall.

is no merit in it, but il is plausible

incidentally, to relieve unemploy-
ment. The army, rendered necessary
by the irregulars insurrection, has
been drastically cut down, and other
economies have been effected in every
department of the national services,
so that we may hope next year to
balance our budget.
THE necessity of paying for the the
damage done by the irregulars handi-
caps the government in dealing with
ambitious schemes of reconstruction.
Steps, however, have been taken to
obtain the report Of one of the biggest
electrical firms in the world on the
potentialities of the Shannon as

Charles j. Mullikin, recently elected
president of the Champaign Chamber
of Commerce, has rendered his resig
nation to the board of directors.
In doing SO he explained that he
was not in harmony with the policy
of linking up the local Chamber with
the national and state organizations.
Whether Mr. Mullikin intended it
or net, he could not have taken a
more strategic position in the inter
est OF his candidacy for The state
| senatorship from this district
Mr.. Mulikin has been accorded the
endorsement of the Twin City Fed
GRAFTON of Labor to his candidacy. 1t
Is known fact that while friendly
relations exist between the Cham
paign Chamber of Commerce and the
Twin City Federation of Labor, and
that their relations have been per
fectly amicable, there is no bond of
sympathy whatever existing between
Organized Labor and the national
organization of the Chamber of Com
merce.
Mr.. Mullikin has taken position
that will be endorsed by the Fedora
ton of Labor members unanimously.
SO far as Labor is concerned he
might have retained his office as
president of the local Chamber of
Commerce without jeopardizing his
chances of election, but the fact that
he has taken this position relative to
the relations between the local and
national Chamber, is significant, and
more than ever makes him a worthy
candidate to represent Labor in the
| senate.
The national Chamber of Commerce
has fostered legislation antagonistic
to Labor 1t is expected that every
unit of the organization will support
the policies of the national board of
directors. In linking up the local
Chamber with the national organiza-
ton the Champaign unit assumes a
measure Of possibility in carrying
out the policies of the larger organ
izati,n. In this one point it is quite
possible for the Federation Of Labor
to disagree emphaticaIly with the
poI'cies # both the local unit and the
national Chamber baard Of directors.
MIR. Mullikin did not seek the office
of president Of the Chamber Of Com
merce in the first place. 1t was
rendered him by the voluntary ballot
of a majority Of the membership
His hesitancy in rendering his resig-
nation indicates that he has thought
the matter over seriously and that he
has become convinced that his policies
are not in accord with the plans of
the organization.
