enodrsement t? the appeal being
nade by Majoj General Leonard

Sdief for a nation-wide Lenter Sac
rifice Offering to save the' starving
Christians of the Near East.
The President's letter, a copy of
-which was received by the South
Carolina Headquarters yesterday,
reads:
"There ougth to be no cessation
?r relaxation of our sympathetic i
American efforts to be of service toil
these stricken people. One can well |
Relieve that they will not survive if ]
we withdraw, the relief, which has 1
heretofore been so; generous from 1
the private American purse. It has <
seemed to me that all we have done
ias 'borne dividends tenfold in the ]
consciousness that we have done an <
humane thing for a people well de- i
serving our generous sympathy. V i
, "I wish you the very greatest sue- <
?ess in furthering the great relief i
movement to which you are now giv- 1
tag your attention."

i Washington, March 19.?Presi
1 dent Harding has under advisement
i today an appeal from Western Sen
I ators and Represents Dives that he
J place an immediate embargo on the
| importation of a number of farm
j commodities, including cotton, cot
! ton seed oil, lemons, wool, hide^s,
meats and butter, represented as
most keenly affected by foreign
j competition. When the request was
made in conference late yesterday,
President Harding, after being told
that many producers in those lines
faced ruin unless relief was forth
coming, indicated that he desired to
confer with certain members of his
cabnet before acting on the appeal.
adhering to its program for rush
i ing through at the special session of
j congress an anti-dumping bill, toge
[ ther with an added American valua
tion measure, possibly to be combin
ed in onp hill, the House wavs and
means committee referred to Treas
ury Department officials today its
resolution adopted yesterday re
questing them to frame a rough
draft for its consideration.
With the committee also still hold
ing firmly to the view that a perma
nent tariff bil should have priority
over tax revision on the legislative
program it was intimated 'by Chair
man Fordney that the actual work
of writing the tariff measure might J
be begun when the committee .met
today. Meanwhile, there had been
no intimation as to whether Presi
dent Harding, who expects to confer
in a day or two with western mem
bers' of the committee favoring tariff
priority, had agreed to the program
agreed upon at the recent confer
ence between Republcans of the
House committee and the Senate fi
nance committee.
At the Treasury Department, al
though Secretary Mellon publicly I
has expressed no views on the ques-!
tion, officials already have begun
the formulation of a tax Revision
policy.
Discusses Plight of Farmers
Washington, March 19.?Presi
dent Harding and his cabinet spent
two hours today discussing foreign
affairs, the plight of farmers and the
transportation. No decisions were
reached, so far as could be learned.
The President was understood,
however, to have expressed the opin
ion that the time had not yet come
to frame a definite program in re
gard to European affairs. He ex
pects to hold further conferences on
the subject with Senators and Rep
[ esenatives before coming to any
lefinite decision.
The agricultural situation occu
pied most of the time of the Presi-|
lent and his advisers and Mr. Hard-|
ng is said to have expressed reluct-1
ince to emDargo oy rTeaiaenuai ur- |
ier importations of farm products j
is urged by some congressional j
headers.
The President made it clear, how
ever, that something must be done
either by embargo or emergency leg
islation to rescue agricultural mar
kets from their present stagnation

, to have been decided in a general
I way that anti-dumping legislation
i must be considered first by the
| special sesison of congress which be
I gins April 11.
The President is understood to
J have suggested that not only must
there be protection against imports,
but that vigorous steps must be
taken to make certain American
products themselves are furnished
with staple market conditions.
Along with the other aspects of
the problem transportation condi
tions came in for discussion. The
transportation situation was pic
tured as very serious in some
branches of the industry, and it is '
understood that the entire question
of production and transportation
will 'be considered as a whole in leg
islative plans for the coming session.
Aside from the question of agri
cultural protecton the cabinet took
up the legislative program of the
session only in a general way.
