Republican Aims Free List for Cattle in Tariff Bill
Washington April 17 Representative Fred A Britten of Chicago will present an amendment to the tariff bill proposing cattle be placed on the free list. Britten argues a 10 percent duty harms trade and that free cattle import would benefit the United States by attracting cattle from Canada and Mexico to meet domestic demand. He notes U S cattle numbers have fallen from 68 million in 1901 to 54 million today despite population growth. The move seeks to boost supply by allowing freer importation for fattening.
