2 ® ARGENTINA BLOCK HIGHER CORN DUTY Cole Charges Refusal to Give Production Data Hurts U. S. Growers. By the Assoclated Press. Argentina’s objection to Tariff Com- mission representatives visiting that country to obtain data on production costs is proving a stumbling block to American corn growers seeking an in- crease in duty on imports of that prod- uct. Representative Cole, Republican, Jowa, who has been requested by Western corn growers to head their efforts for an increase in tariff, said today that he believed President Cool- idge would approve a 50 per cent in- crease in duty on corn, but that what action the commission might take ap- parently had been complicated by Ar- gentina’s action, Commission Handicapped. Explaining that the President was unable to authorize an increase in duty under the flexible provision of the tariff act until a recommendation was made by the commission, Mr. Cole said that some commission members apparently held the belief that inas- much as Argentina had refused com- mission agents the privilege of obtain- ing production costs in that country, the commission would be unable to maka a recommendation. The tariff law, he recalled, provided that, before a recommendation could be made, data on production costs abroad must be obtained, and that it was this provision that seemed to. be bothering a number of commission members. Believes Plea Favored. ‘The Iowan said that at a recent con- ference with Mr. Coolidge he gathered the impression the President was sym- pathetic to the corn growers’ request and that'this bellef was increased by the fact that the President had ap- proved high tariff rates on several other agricultural products, including wheat. Mr. Cole said the corn growers felt that increased duty was necessary to meet the competition of Argentine corn, which, he declared, could be pro- duced more cheaply. He added he was advised that Argentine corn could be gelivered to Pacific Coast ports at 6 cents per 100 pounds. This charge, coupled with a 15-cent duty, amounts to 21 cents. compared with a freight charge of about 33 cents per. 100 pounds from the Missourl River area. While the 50 per cent increase in duty would amount to only 7% cents, he said, it would narrow the margin between delivery costs of Ar- gentine and American corn in the Pa- cific area.
