D., Sept. 13—The North- west Agricultural Foundation has re- quested U. 8. Senator James E. Wat- son and senators from Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Mon- tana to prevail upon the senate fi- nance committee to recommend an amendment to the senate’s tariff bill, to provide for a duty of 84 cents on flaxseed and a duty of 5.65 cents a pound on linseed oil, the Greater North Dakota association, which handles the secretarial work for the Foundation, announeed today. Na- tional farm organizations, which pre- sented demands for such changes. assigned to the Foundation the task of preparing data to substantiate their demands. Dr. A. H. Benton, farm economist with the North Dakota Agricultural college, who heads up the group of ecomonists associated with the farm schools of these four states ar acti been assisting the Foundation in its work, ted the brief submitted by the Foundation to the senate. Claim Data Misleading “The brief declares that “while it is true that the recommendations of the United States Tariff commission was 56 cents per bushel, this figure was not based upon actual cost of production data in the United States, but on invoice data for Argentine flaxseed imported at New York. The Argentine government would not per- mit the United States Tariff commis- sion to send investigators into their country and secure data. “The United States Tariff com- mission gave in its report a statement of cost of production of flaxseed in Argentine as issued by the Argentine government. On the basis of these official figures, American flaxseed growers need a tariff of even more than 8 cents a bushel.” Commission Reports Costs A table included in the brief, com- piled from figures taken from the appendix to the tariff commission's report, shows ghe cost of production of flaxseed in the United States and Argentina as follows: ‘With New York as point of compe- tition—U. 5.. $2.539, Argentina, $1.507; difference in favor of Argentina, $1.032. With Buffalo as point of competi- tion—U. 8&., $2.42, Argentina, $1.85. difference in favor of Argentina 835 cents. “The actual differences in costs.” continues the brief, “are $1.03 at New York and $0835 at Buffalo, which the Northwest Agricultural Founda- tion contends is not the point of com- petition, but that the chief point of entry — New York —which was used by the United States Tariff commis- sion, is the proper one. ° “The history of flaxseed production fm the United States and Argentina during the past few 's_ corrobor- ates the cost figures.
