RD4 Myerstown PA 717-866-5709 No Immediate Action Expected From U.S. The U. S. government is not expected to take <<ny immediate action "unless somebody on the Hill raises ,” an official of USDA told U.E.P. Wednesday. Secretary Butz told a news agency this week that “progress was being made against trade barriers between the U. S. and Canada but he indicated no immediate retaliation will be made on Canada’s im position of an egg import barrier.” The State Department said Wednesday that the question was under study. A Maine Congressman reported to a U.E.P. representative last week that “representatives of the State Department, Depart ment of Agriculture, and the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations have been holding meetings and are analyzing the scheme. Economists and attorneys are reviewing the Canadian scheme and a verdict should be rendered within a month as to the position which the U.S. can take.” U.E.P. Asks President to Act In a telegram to President Ford on Monday, U.E.P. President John Wallace outlined the Canadian im port restrictions and stated: “We, therefore, respectfully request you exercise your authority under Title m, Section 301, The Trade Act of 1974, to protect the interest of U.S. egg producers from this unreasonable trade barrier.” In telegrams to Senator Herman Talmadge, - Rep. Thomas Foley, Chairman of Senate and House Agriculture Com mittees - and Ambassador Clayton Yeutter, Special Representative for Trade Negotiations, President Wallace said: “U.S. producers are fearful that our markets will become the dumping ground for surplus Canadian eggs which are certain under Canada’s current production control program.” He asked each to urge President Ford to respond to this unreasonable restraint to free trade. Canadians Under Fire at Home Following the closing of the border on July 4, the Ontario Egg Board raised producer paying prices six cents on July 7. The com bined actions brought the ire of the Canadian Food Price Review Board. In a statement asking the government to explain the decision, the Board accused the Agriculture Minister of using threats and coercion in getting provinces to sign the national egg marketing agreement.
