WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER
Continued from page 1
copra and cocoanut oil. It is
believed that a duty on these
commodities will have the effect
of increasing the price of cot
tonseed oil which will be of aid
to the farmers. This however,,
would have the effect of arous- j
ing the anger of the people of!
the Phillippine Islands as it is
proposed to have the duty ex
tend to the Phillipine product, j
Yesterday (Friday) the free!
list schedule on fish and oils |
was reached and Delegate Suth
erland appeared to ask that
oolicon oil be placed upon the
free list. He also joined with
others in asking for a duty on
cod liver oil. This was opposed
by the importers. One of those
who opposed the duty, a repre
sentative of Squibbs and Son of
New York, informed the com
mittee that his company would
be able to promote the produc
tion of cod liver oil in Alaska
and could advise the fishermen
how to prepare and market it.
The demand for this product has
reached tremenduous propor-1
tions in late years by reason of
the discovery of vitamins con
tained in the oil.
