DROUGHT RELIEF
ROOSEVELT’S DECISION FORAGE CROPS FOR STOCK IMPORT DUTIES WAIVED. IBy Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright! Received Aug. 19, 6.25 p.m. NEW YORK, Aug. 18. The New York Times’ Washington correspondent has learned that Mr. Roosevelt, on August 10, took the unprecedented action of waiving by presidential proclamation the import duties on hay and other types of forage for the benefit of the drought-stricken western livestock producers. No announcement was made at the time, as it was hoped that it migh not bo necessary to invoke it, but now substantial imports are considered imperative. It is expected that they will come entirely from Canada. It is also reported that certain types of wheat for seed purposes will probably be necessary, but there is no indication if these will receive tariff benefits.
