However. it would seem more sensible to me if a reasonable import duty could be placed on Canadian oats which might be imported above the quota. thereby allowing the Treasury of the Government of the United States as well as the farm feeders of my district to profit from the purchase by them of feed oats in Vancouver. British Columbia. instead of what seems to me to be an unnecessary and ridiculous freight payment for the hauling of oats for 2.000 miles. As long as highrigid price supports are in effect. situations such as this are bound to arise. Dislocations of grain plantings and wasteful long hauls of produce are but two of the many evils of the present uneconomical and discredited pricesupport program.
