A , erne f 'April A "A;-- ' stronger 1 . self-stud- well-balanc- ed Urges Offsetting Duties on Subsidized Cheese Imports UFB The president of the Utah Farm Bureau has urged the United States government to impose countervailing (offsetting) duties on cheese being imported under subsidy to protect U. S. dairymen against unfair competition. Elmo W. Hamilton, president of the Utah Farm Bureau Federation, called for this action based on reports that European cheeses will soon hit the American market bearing subsidies of 14 to 27 cents per pound. This would price them below the cost of production, he said. Such subsidies would violate the Tarriff Act of 1930 and constitute unfair competition to dairymen in Utah and the rest of the country, Hamilton pointed out. Farm Bureau supports fle expansion of international trade that benefits both the buvine and selling countries, he pointWe supported Coned out. gressional action in 1974 to broaden the Trade Act and give our administration additional authority needed to reduce trade barriers in negotiations with other countries. But the payment cf any export subsidy violates the principle of fair competition which we support. In view of agricultures tremendous contribution to the U. S. balance of trade, he added, we feel that countervailing or offsetting duties are a botter approach than import quotas to reduce unfair comcetiton. Selling quotas might cause retaliation by our overseas customers and hamoer agriculture's ability to help pay for our oil imports. Hamilton explained that sub- - sidized cheese imports adversely affect U. S. dairymen d5rect-land that they also reduce markets for our livestock and poultry .producers. Even consumers lose in the long run, he said, because these imports could drive some of our farmers cut of business, eventually tightening the food supply and raising prices. y, YOUR OWN BUSINESS Distributor needed NOW to take advantage of Extensive TV Advertising scheduled for this area on exclusive engine oil level indicator.
