telling Of the embargo reached the
British embassy ana the Department
Of Agriculture. AZ the embassy II
was announced that the embargo
which applies only to England and
Wales. became effective December %,
but that potatoes then en- route
would be allowed 70 eater.
Maine potato growers. Senator
Hale said, would be particularly hard
hit by the British action because Of
a surplus of the product In that State
this year.
At the agricultural department.
some officials. although hesitating to
comment In the absence of detailed
Information, said they were puzzled
at the development. The Colorado
Beetle, or the common potato bug,
the pest which the embargo Ia aimed
at, IL held by these officials to be
very easily controlled and It long.
ago ceased to cause American farm
ers great concern.
The British Isles, however, havs
been free of the beetle.
The departments ndvices also de-
clared that Canadian potatoes we're
not included In the embargo, and II
was pointed out that the beetle per-
haps Is more firmly established in
certain Canadian provinces than in
the United States.
The only statement ut the Depart
ment OF Agriculture was to the eff
feet that the department always 10
concerned over any restriction Of the
market for American products. The
