AGRICULTURAL RELIEF

Mr. KincuELOE. No. They do not propose to correct that; and 
those who opposed the emergency tariff bill for the farmers and those 
who voted for the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill proposed to help the 
big millers, which is what 1t does do—what I wanted to put it in for was 
to show it is not so the American farmer would get the difference 
between 30 cents and 42 cents on wheat; it was not for the farmer: it 
was for the big miller, and the statistics show it.

Mr. AnpreseEN. Would not the answer to your statement be that 
we must go ahead and repeal the tariff law permitting wheat to be 
imported in bond? 
Mr. KincHELOE. Absolutely so; if you want to help the farmer and 
make that big miller use American wheat. The only reason we go 
and import wheat from Canada is that it is hard wheat. We can 
grow enough hard wheat in the United States to meet that demand, 
but instead of doing it you relieve the miller from paying into the 
Treasury the tariff of 42 cents, getting the 11,000,000 bushels of 
wheat last year that they ought to have got from the American 
farmer. 
Mr. ANDRESEN. It is much more for other years. 
Mr. KincHELOE. Sure; I have got it from 1922. 
Mr. Swank. I want to ask Mr. Kincheloe a question. He showed 
that the millers get nearly all the benefit of this tariff on wheat. 
The representative of the millers appeared here for three days, 1 
think, in opposition to the Haugen bill— 
Mr. ANDRESEN. Is not that correct? 
Mr. AsweLL. Yes. 
Mr. Swank. He is representing the millers 
Mr. AsweLL. He was against the Haugen bill. 
Mr. Swank. I say, against the Haugen bill and against the deben- 
ture bill. } i } 
Mr. KincHELOE. They are satisfied with the tariff on wheat. 
The CuAlRMAN. I think we all agree that it ought to be amended.
