Show Import Quotas Protect Prices Of U. S. Farmers Wheat rarmers of Utah who have been enjoying better than usual prices for their 1941 crP should remember that these prices are not the result of increased demand de-mand brought on by war and defense de-fense activity, Joseph Skeen, member mem-ber of the State AAA committee, states. With United States wheat prices exceeding foreign prices by more than 42-cent tariff, the wheat import im-port quota measure invoked by the President last May is providing pro-viding American wheat growers a safeguard against imports, Mr. Skeen explains. j August 2, the United States price of wheat at Buffalo, New York exceeded the price of foreign fore-ign wheat delivered at the same Point plus tariff by more than the 42-cent tariff. Since August this price advantage has ranged up to 60 cents a bushel. If it were not for import quotas quo-tas Mr. Skeen points out that Canadian Ca-nadian and other foreign wheat growers could pay he 42 cent tariff tar-iff and still get more for their wheat in the United Stales under Prevailing prices than other markets. mar-kets.
