KANSAS CITY, November 28 —Win- ter has completed its first coast-to- coast drive of the season. ‘With snow deposited on many States east of the Mississippi Valley, atmos- pheric conditions generally were stag- nated today. Blizzards and heavy rains, which have taken a toll of a dozen lives in the West, were supplanted by more moderate manifestations that Autumn is passing. Both clouds and sunshine were fore- cast for the East, but little precipita- tion was in sight. The first snow blankets yesterday melted rapidly. Chilly weather, however, with tem- peratures ranging as low as 16 at Greenville, Me., extended through New England and up-State New York.

By the Associated Press. | LONDON November 28.—Customs duties on agricultural imports are next | in line in the new tariff policy launched by the British government this week with the levy of 50 per cent duties on certain classes of manufactured ar- | ticles. On Monday Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald informed the House of Commons Thursday a financial resolu- tion will be presented to authorize an agricultural customs levy. Sir John Gilmour, minister of agri- culture, informed the members that the government also had decided to| adopt the quota system on home- | grown wheat of milling quality, and t; introduce legislation 1in connection | therewith in time to make the plan | effective for next year's crop. There also will be a measure to re- duce imports of “certain non-essential articles of agricultural produce” by means of tariff levies, he said. He declined to go into detail when a member asked whether the new levies would cover canned goods and whether any decision had been reach- ed regarding étension of the quota | principle to empire wheat. I He suggested that the House wait for details until the government's bill is presented. No government subsidy will be in- volved in the wheat quota plan, he said. nor does the government intend that the measure should encourage the ex- || tersion of wheat cultivation to land | unsuitable for that purpose. Because of the overwhelming govern- ment majority there is no question that | theze measures will be approved. | PLAN MAY MERELY PEG PRICE. Quota for 15 Pct. British Wheat Would Not Affect Imports.
