AGRICULTURAL RELIEF 629 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. (The statements submitted by Mr. Kincheloe are as follows:) Imports of wheat into the United States [Act of 1922] Duty-paid wheat [mported free in bond for milling and export as flour Calendar vear 19222___. nem cmememceeccc—ma- 1923___. ce 0243 oo mmm Dc rg ST DOB RS ER 927... mm Quantity Duties paid Bushels 3, 165, 026 3, 929, 749 3, 804, 625 i, 308, 399 151, 029 21. 299 $949, 508 2, 678, 925 2, 149, 887 540, 528 189, 432 8 046 Quantity bushels 3, 998, 888 9, 988, 592 9, 479, 819 10, 439, 714 15, 429, 102 11. 152. 699 99 per cent of estimated duties! $1, 187, 669 2, 966, 612 3, 578, 335 4, 340, 833 6, 415, 421 4.637. 293 - Equivalent to drawback under other tariff acts. 2 Act of 1922, Sept. 22-Dec. 31, 1922, dutiable at 30 cents per bushel. ' By presidential proclamation, dutiable at 42 cents per bushel, etfective Apr. 6, 1924. Source: Foreign Commerce and Navigation of the United States. 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.
