Is- land Potatoesg Supported Pwe urge that favorable action‘ be given as soon as possible before next planting time to the proposition, of increased tariff protection for, pota_ toes. This matter has been ‘ in jibe hands of the Tariff Commissionfor almost six months. We understand they are investigating thc compara- tive costs of production in Canada and the States. Aside from their advantage of lower production costs and their ability to deliver from Prince Edward Island, for instance. to all points on the Atlantic see- bocrd for considerably less than po- tatoes from the States can be de- livered, we lmow that additional duty would be immediately effective in reducing Canadian acreage which has tremendously increased lnthree years and that such reduction of acreage and supplies lri Canada would automatically give a. better and firmer tone to our fall and win- ter market. The tremendous over- iupply on the Canadian side this venr is just another reason why we iannot afford to get our market up high enough to allow them to pay ahe present duty and come in.

"The bill. as we understand it. provides for delivery and acceptance of all goods according to the accept. ed trading rules now recognlrecl by of the transaction, with proper set- suspension or revocation of the li» cense to continue in the iproduc’ business.
