CORK PRODUCERS
 PROTEST TARIFF
Portugal Aroused Over High
 DuV-hay Ban Imports

Lisbon, Portugal July 5l - The cork, has joined all other continent al countries hit by the new Ameri- can tariff in attacking the new law.
 Retaliatory action so far has not materialized but there is a move ment all over the country to restrict American imports to the bare re- ouirements of the nation. Automo- piles will be the first to suffer.
 In American quarters conversant with the cork situation an optomistic view was taken, because. observers said, it has been brought home to the authorities that, high as the tariff is, it hardly affects Portuguese exports of the commodity as they see it. The American consumer and not the exporter will bear the weight of the increased tariff.
 American representatives pointed out to government circles that in creased demand for cork had raised the price ten times it's value in 1914. The same quarters stated that Amer ican brains and money had lntroduc- ed the use of cork in many new in dustries thereby creating an unusual demand to the advantage of Portu- guese growers.
 Some of the Americans think that the much threatened tariff war may not go beyond the stage of discus sion, after all.
 Spanish and Portuguese cork in terests have initiated conversations with the view of buying up existing stocks to force up the price. This however. appears impracticable in view of the conflicting interests and the large numbers of small growers who at the present price make rich profits. Exports of cork 10 the United States in 1929 amounted to s4,7S4,- ?q4
