several nations Immediately con-
cerned and other nations are free to
accept or reject the plan or to modl-
fly it.
Tariff Aspects Of Situation
The Danube Basin is n Of the
greatest wheat-producing areas in
the world and has been since the days
Of Roman occupation. It has been
only since the war that overproduc-
ton has been serious. This has been
made more apparent because of the
very large crops raised by the United
States and Canada. The North
American wheat has flowed into such
consuming countries as France, Italy,
and Germany. competing with the
Danube wheat. The world supply
has been augmented, backing up the
Danube tonnage which used to find a
ready market in neighboring coun-
tries.
The conferences have gone so far
as to take up tariff questions in on
nection with the proposed national
controls. Obviously, an international
body. seeking to move SURPRISES of
wheat about like pieces on a chess
board could not function freely if
tariff barriers were erected, across
every boundary. A plan has been
discussed for the establishment OF a
customs union which, for the pur-
poses of this problem, would break
down tariff walls, even doing away,
in expedient cases, with most favored
nation treaty provisions.
Battles in Picture
The Baltic nations have been
brought into the picture in connec-
ton with the tariff aspects Of the
situation. A trading of tariff pref
erences was discussed but so far the
Baltic states have viewed such con-
cession with something considerably
short Of enthusiasm.
Since the World war, corn has been
added to the grain staples of some
of these countries and this COM
modify is receiving attention too.
Czechoslovakia enters the equation
here as this succession state Is the
chief European nation to take up
corn culture. Nor have rye and bar
ley been left out. While wheat is the
most important grain, the proposed
control bodies would function in con-
nection with all cereals.
These developments have a direct
interest for American farmers and
grain dealers as well as the consum-
ing public. Successful development
Of this economic United States Of
Europe presumably would perma-
nently limit the foreign market for
North American wheat.
