Five Local Men
Attend Livestock
Meeting In July
Five cattlemen from Van Zandt
county attended the farm bu-
reau livestock evaluation meet-
ing in Waxahachie July 15. They
were Joe Clair of Canton, For-
est Bailey of Grand Saline, Has-
kell Miracle, Ralph Liston and
John D. Flowers of Wills Point.
The low price of livestock today
has brought great concern for all
the industry. The meeting was
held in an attempt to bring out
some of the many and varied
reasons for this condition and di-
vergent views on what should be
done to correct it.
Imports of red meats have be-
come a matter of vital concern
to the nation's cattle and sheep
producers. The tariff commis-
sion’s investigation of the current
situation in regard to the impor-
tation of beef and veal and the
competitive effect on the domes-
tic industry is necessary and
timely. This investigation should
Im? the basis for a determination
as to further action under the
Trade Expansion Act which
would establish whether these im-
ports are injuring or threaten-
ing injury to the domestic meat
industry. If-injury ob throat of
injury is occurring the Tariff
Commission should recmmend
to the President the import re-
strict ions necessary to correct
the problem.
Congressional efforts to limit
red meat imports with the U. S.
took a new direction when Flor-
ida Congressman Sydney Herlong
introduced a measure in the
house which would restrict im-
ports to formulas based on aver-
age imports of the last five
years. Until now, measures to re-
strict imports have been offered
as amendments to other legislan
tion being considered in either
the House or Senate.
Farm Bureau recommended
and obtained enactment of a pro-
vision in the Trade Expansion
Act (Section 405 (4) which
makes it clear that a producer of
a raw product can claim injury
on the basis of imports of an ar.
