F. D.'s Order
WASHINGTON. April 17.—OP)—
The tariff commission was ordered
by President Roosevelt to make an
immediate investigation into com
plaints against the importations of
bleached cotton cloth.
Mr. Roosevelt acted upon recom
mendation of the National Indus
trial Recovery Board which has
been studying complaints by the
ootton textile industry that imports,
particularly from Japan, are dam
aging the domestic industry.
The board reported that “the
facts warrant further investiga
tion. **
Secretary Hull concurred in the
order tor the tariff commission in
vestigation.
The source of the importations
complained of was not named by
the president in informing news
papermen of his action.
New England governors last week
eamplained to the president about
importations of Japanese cloth
which they said was a factor in
the troublesome condition of the
textile industry.

Florida Takes
New Steps For
Better Citrus
Flonda is planning a citrus com
mission to stablize and protect the
reputation of the citrus industry
through a new and drastic maturity
! law. a bill for an excise tax on fruit
to pay for advertising and a bill to
protect the owners of field boxes,
'crates and other containers.
The commission would have the
power of providing inspection and
grading and to prosecute violations
It would have the authority to estab
! liah grades and designations.
The new maturity law would make
it unlawful to sell, except in case
of tree sales, any citrus between
August 31 and December 1 unless
the fruit is certified to be mature
and a certificate of inspection and
maturity is provided.
For grapefruit the act specifies the
. required juice content for all sizes.
I for oranges the ratio of total solu
! ble solids to anhydrous citric acid
must be not less than 8 to 1 and for
(tangerines. 7'a to 1.
) The advertising bill would allow
a levy of two cents a box as an ex
cise tax on oranges, three cents on
grapefruit a.id five cents on tanger
ines to be used for advertising In an
i effort to increase sales.
The state commission would have
' the authority to set up the machin
i cry for advertising, publicity and
i sales promotion work.
Members of the citrus commis
sion would serve without pay.
Another bill t rovides for bondinc!
and licensing of all handlers of fruit
with minimum and maximum bonds
of *250 and *5.000 to guard against
careless, irresponsible or dishonest
practice In handling and marketing |
of citrus fruits.
