Wellcr (Associated Press Farm Editor) WASHINGTON (P) On tho eve of ,a new congress the Farmers' union ,1s the third national farm organiza tion to lift Its voice against existing tariffs. - 1 A resolution adopted at the an ,nual convention In Des Moines, Iowa, condemned tho Hawley-Smoofc tariff act as "not giving us equality" (with Industry). In urging the export debenture tho National grange has renewed Its demand, "Tariff for all or turlff for none," and tho American Farm Bu roou federation,' still to hold its an nual meeting, has -complained of Ineffective duties on agricultural Im ports. 1 ' - Neither organization has publicly favored such a tempestuous revision of rates as the last congress ran into, but they want something done to give tho farmer a protected Home market or lower the prlco ho pays for his Implements and homo necessities. Trinle Movement Mold Hack Tho thought is said to be protty general among farmors that, encour aged by this government's action in 1930, tho whole world has plunged Into a war of countervailing duties which have held back the frco move ment ot trade. The domestic situation Is cited In estimates that 'from July 1 to Sept. 30 America!! exports of agricultural products amounted In value to but 41168,000,000 compared with $280, 000,000 a year ago, when oven then business wasn't any too good. . Whllo somo of this is attributed to lower prices, thoro Is no question' that unsettled trade condition? canned a shrinkage in volumo.os well as in value. ' Bo that as It may, tho period saw a largo Import balanco against the United States in tho foreign trade of agricultural products. This coun try bought $220,000,000 of farm pro duco compared with $201,000,000 lost year. i:pnrts Don't Poy For Imports Non-compotlttvo products, such as silk, tea, coffee, sugar, spices and drugs made up the greater part or thcKo imports, but the fact remainn thut in tho first quarter of the cur rent year exports of produqts of tho bo 11 we ro not sufficient to pay for imports In tho same brood category. Tho situation has led to tho sug gestion from Roproscntotlvo Italney of Illinois that present tariff rates stand, but that congress enact a bill lowering all schedules, tho lower ratcs to bo invoked on any item or group of items by presidential proc lamation on notice from tho tarirr .commlHBlon that somo foreign no tion has lowered Its rates ' on the same products.
