vent serious illness, he pointed out.
Eighteen requests for aid were re-

CANADIANS MOVETO
PRESERVE EXISTING
ROUTES FOR GRAIN
Discouraging Situation Arises
Following New Tariff
Agreement

Winnipeg. Man., Dec. 9.-P]-Wheat
exporters expressed hope Friday that
the Canadian government will make
arrangements for preserving all exist
ing routes of grain export, including
those through the United States. so
the six-cents- tariff prefer
ence allowed Canadian wheat in the
United Kingdom may not be leopard
lied.
Prime Minister Bennett will arrive
in England this week and exporters
believe this will be one Of the first
questions to be discussed by him with
the British authorities.
The matter is of great Importance
to American cities involved in the
wheat trade.
It is understood that at present
Canadian wheat, shipped from U. S.
Atlantic ports, Is selling at less than
the same grade and quality of Cana
dian wheat shipped from Canadian
Atlantic ports.
This price difference results from
the fact that grain which was moved
to Buffalo and from there by canal
to New York City cost less to trans
port than does grain sent by rail from
Georgian Bay ports to st. John and
Halifax.
Until Nov. 80 the cost Of transporta-
ton to st. John and Halifax was six
cents bushel. Once the stocks at
those two ports have been cleaned up,
the spread between prices at American
and Canadian exporting points is ex-
pected to be wider, because the trans
portation cost to st. John and Hall
fax now Is 81 cents a bushel.

to business was made to the house
ways and means committee Friday by
a representative of brewing interests.
George p. McCabe. Of the Associat-
ed Producers of Cereal Beverages,
thereby caused a furry of dispute.
Representative Treadway (Rep.,
Mass.), wanted to know will the man
in the street, the mill worker for in
stance, have any money to spend for
beer? It looks to me that there will
be no increase in the amount OF
money spent"
Representative Mccormick Dem.,
MassD interrupted to say that by
"legalizing beer, you will divert money
spent for illegal liquor for legal, tax
able beer.'
It was the third day Of hearings
on the Collier bill to allow naturally
fermented wines and a 2.75 per cent
beer.
Chairman Collier announced that
Secretary Mills would testify Satur-
day, presumably in his personal ca
pacity rather than as an administra-
ton representative.
McCabe estimated that on an es-
timated 100000 barrels consump-
ton, the proposed IS a barrel tai
would produce 5000, Zoo, 900 a year.
Joseph Dilworth, Pittsburgh, testi-
fled reports from New York. Pitts
burgh, Milwaukee and st. Louis, were
that brewers there were ready tc
spend from $40,000000 to $4,000, 00C
at once, If beer was legalized."
"You can imagine what that means
over the country as a whole If pro-
portionate sums are spent In other
sections"
McCabe recommended beer of not
less than 2.75 per cent and a IS a
barrel tax.
He said his association represents
breweries with an invested capital Of
$50, 000, 900. and capacity Of 11,500.-
900 barrels.
"The brewers recommend that the
law be so amended as to discourage
the Illicit manufacturer and the boot
logger. and to guarantee pure,
Intoxicating beer which
can be sold through the ordinary
channels Of distribution now in use
for near BEER. McCabe said, land
