Washington, Jan. 27.--In the de- { bate on the Emergency Tariff bill, | Senator McCumber, North Dakota, | announced that every effort would | be made to pass the measure at the edrliest possible moment. Senator | McCumber asserted the condition of | the farmers in the great wheat-grow- ncrtiiwest was than at this mo- { ment, and argument was that a | tariff of forty cents per bushel on Capadian wheat would prove of great | benefit to American farmers by | bringing prices to a point where they | would approximate the cost of pro- | duction. Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, | made thé principal speech against | the bill, and denounced it as a 'sham a a pretence," designed to deceive the farmers whom, it is claimed it | will benefit. | In answer to a question by Senator | Stantey, of Kentucky, Senator Mc- 'Cimber said he did not think the in- creased importations of Canalian | w heat are due to the exchange situa- tion. The real réason oe considered | to be the short crop 'in the spring { wheat sections of the country. | Advantage With Canada. | "The proposition before us," ad- ded Senator McCumber, "is to raise the price of wheat, our wheat, so | that it will measure up somewhere to | what it costs the farmer to produce it | The advantage gpday is entirely with | the Canadians. We do not send any- thing to Canada that the Canadians | Go not charge a duty on, and we let | her export her wheat into the United | States without a penny 's duty. | "Let's have reciprocity. We are told | Canada will not buy from us if we levy these duties. That is not true. Canada as she always has done, will continue to buy where she can buy cheapest, and if she can buy cheapest { in the United States she will continue to buy from us." Senator McCumber cited statistigs for various, years to prove the great Increase, in the last few months, of Canadian wheat exports to this coun- try. In December; 1918; "Canada shipped to the United States 127, 000 bushels of wheat. In December, 1920, Canada exported to this coun- try 12,000,000 bushels. It is not beMeved that an early vote on the bill can be had. A hard fight will be made by both sides and it is believed that if the bill does come to a vote it will be passed or defeated by a small margin.
