with the North Dakota Agricultural
college. who heads up the group OF

work, prepared the brief submitted by
the Foundation to the senate.
Claim Data Misleading
THE brief declares that while 1t
is true that the recommendations OF
the United States Tariff commission
was 56 cents per busflel. this figure
was not based upon actual cost o.
production data in the United States.
but on invoice data for Argentine
flaxseed imported at New York. The
Argentine government would not per-
init the United States Tariff commits
sion to send investigators into their
country and secure data.
Tho United States Tariff COM
mission gave in Its report q statement
Of cost Of production of flaxseed IN
Argentine as issued by the Argentine
government. On the basis Of these
official figures. American flaxseed
rover need a tariff Of even more
than "a cents a bushel."
Commission Reports Costs
A table included In the brief, COM
piled from figures taken from the
appendix to the tariff commissions
report, shows thc cost of production
Of flaxsced In the United States and

with New York as point Of compe-
tition-U. S.. $3.50. Argentina. $l.507;
difference in favor OF Argentina

THE actual differences In costs

York and $O835 at Buffalo. which

ton contends is not the point of com.
