WINTER FINISHES
OPENING ATTACK
Snow Melts Rapidly, but Cool
Weather Stays to Herald Final
Exit of Autumn.
By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY. November 28 —Win
ter has completed its first coast-to
coast drive of the season.
With snow deposited on many States I
east of the Mississippi Valley, atmos
pheric conditions generally were stag
nated today.
Blizzards and heavy rains, which
have taken a toll of a dozen lives in
the West, were supplanted by more
moderate manifestations that Autumn
is passing.
Both clouds and sunshine were fore
cast for the East, but little precipita
tion was in sight. The first snow
blankets yesterday melted rapidly.
Chilly weather, however, with tem
peratures ranging as low as 16 at
Greenville, Me., extended through New
England and up-State New York. Some
districts of the South were relatively
cool.
Andrew M. Hamrick, weather ob
server here, found little movement of
storm areas on his maps last night. A
snow at Denver was the nearest storm.
Temperature changes as a rule were j
slight. Precipitation yesterday in- ,
eluded rain and snow in portions of ]
the Rocky Mountain and plateau j
regions and in Southern California.

FARM CROP TARIFF
NEXT FOR BRITAIN
Agricultural Customs Plan
With Wheat Milling Quota
to Be Bared Monday.
By the Associated Press.
LONDON November 28. —Customs
duties on agricultural imports are next j
in line in the new tariff policy launched
by the British government this week
with the levy of 50 per cent duties on
certain classes of manufactured ar
ticles.
On Monday Prime Minister Ramsay
MacDonald informed the House of
Commons Thursday a financial resolu
tion will be presented to authorize an
agricultural customs levy.
Sir John Gilmour, minister of agri
culture, informed the members that
the government also had decided to
adopt the quota system on home
grown wheat of milling quality, and to
introduce legislation in connection
therewith in time to make the plan
effective for next year's crop.
There also will be a measure to re
duce imports of “certain non-essential
articles of agricultural produce’’ by
means of tariff levies, he said.
He declined to go into detail when
a member asked whether the new
levies would cover canned goods and
whether any decision had been reach
ed regarding of the quota
principle to empire wheat.
He suggested that the House wait for
details until the government's bill is
presented.
No government subsidy will be in
volved in the wheat quota plan, he said,
nor does the government intend that
the measure should encourage the ex
tension of w’heat cultivation to land
unsuitable for that purpo.se.
Because of the overwhelming govern
ment majority there is no question that
these measures will be approved.
PLAN MAY MERELY PEG PRICE.
Quota tor 15 Pet. British Wheat Would
Not Affect Imports.
By the Associated Pres*.
American wheat farmers probably
would not be noticeably affected by the
imposition of a British milling quota
requiring 15 per cent of domestic cereal
be used in milling mixtures.
British farmers, It Is estimated here,
produce about 15 per cent of the wheat
now consumed in the British Isles. A
15 per cent quota would mean merely
that It would remove those farmers’
dependence upon world prices and in
sure disposal of their entire production.
As it is, British farmers take the
price that is offered for world wheat
on the Liverpool market in competition
with the grain of all nations. They
grow a soft wheat which does not make j
a satisfying bread unless mixed richly j
! with foreign growths.
! If. however, the import restriction, i
S which is to be announced Monday J
! along with customs duties on other j
j agricultural items, should favor Empire i
j wheat and be as high as the French, I
German and Italian barriers, the result
on American production would be more
serious. The French regulation speci
fies that 97 per cent of French wheat
must be used in all mixtures.
In 1929-30 America exported 26.931.-
000 bushels of wheat to the United
Kingdom, compared with 16,276.000 in
1928-29 and 36,574,000 In 1927-28.
DENMARK GETS TARIFF BILL.
Parliament Measure Would Tax U. S.
Autos 25 Per Cent More.
COPENHAGEN. November 28 UP.— i
A bill restricting or prohibiting the im- j
portation of certain luxuries and in- :
j creasing the duties on others was in- j
- troduced in Parliament by the govern- '
i ment yesterday. It was more moderate
i than expected.
The only import* from America as- j
j fected are luxury-type automobiles of i
I more than 285-centimeter measurement j
, between the wheels, on which the ad
j valorem duty was Increased from 5 to j
i 25 per cent. Other automobile duties, I
including those on the largest busses, !
were not altered.
i The tariff was doubled on all cosmetic I
articles, including face creams, powder, j
toothpaste, perfume and perfumed soap.
The measure seriously affects France ]
in that it forbids imports for the re- j
mainder of the year of champagne, |
brandy and liquors and restricts the
1932 imports to 50 per cent of the 1931 !
1 imports. It was regarded as a retalia- j
I tory measure against France, which re- !
! cently restricted the importation of I
j Danish agricultural produce.
