Washington, July 28. A tariff commission will investigate imports of cotton and cotton waste with a view to determining whether they are likely to interfere with the Export Subsidy Programme, according to an announcement made today.
It is expected that the investigation will result in quota restrictions, aimed principally at Canada and Mexico, so as to bar the reimportation of subsidized cotton, The House of Representatives has approved an amendment strengthening the tariff provisions of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, in order to prevent imports of cotton textiles manufactured from subsidized cotton.—Reuter.
