Cotton Manufacturers | ASK LAW ENFORCEMENT \ | Lauds Trade for Recognition of Its Responsibility to Employers’ Rights (By The Associated Press) | Washington, April 7.—An_ assur- | ance of increased business prosperity was voiced by President Coolidge in !an address here last night to the | National Cotton Manufacturers Asso- jation. In the present and prospective in- | dustrial situation, Mr. Coolidge saw | justification of the tariff, and hé again pledged an administration of justice by the government in its re- lations with business. The policy of conserving to the American produc- er “the right of first opportunity in the home market,” he said, has re- | sulted in a “very fair approximation | of democracy in industry.” : He also promised full assistance by the national government in fight- ing the boll weevil and endorsed the suggestion for a treaty of coopera- tion among the cotton producing states, The President reviewed at length the problems of the cotton manufa turing industry, noting even the r turn of short skirts and the conse- quent reduction in consumption of cloth. He added that he saw little prospect of abilizing | womens Styles, and remarked that their con- stant ‘changing might make it diffi- cult for manufacturers, but “no doubt relieves monotony and adds ice of life.” : and were elected al- 7 gove js re- duerten geathoutispron neu ae | OF BIG COMPANY ci, SS, the President At Inkster, Dan Sutherland was: declared enforce 5 tae teed Gop gaia Rou Oy, TO BE INCREASED | (ceria but that at eat nett FE.

But those who would charge us with selfishness in thus’ giving first thought to home} interests would do well to consider whether their own policies in this regard are more liberal than ours. “We have established here the practice of absolute free trade throughout a great ‘continental area | of 48 states besides other possessions. It is the most widely extended ap- plication of that policy that will be! | found anywhere. Within this domain we have an extent and variety of, natural resources far beyond those, of any other country. Yet from our {national beginnings we have sought no advantage by reason of this pri- macy in natural resources. Who- ever wanted them was free to come here and buy our raw materials at exactly the same prices as our own people, Such stapies as copper, cot- ton, and petroleum might have been made the basis on which to build great national, monapolies. Yet they ave been as freely available to the industries of other countries as to our own. Under our Constitution our export trade is free of duty. “At times, when I have heard cri ticism of our industrial policies, I have been tempted to wonder how many other peoples, endowed with the same natural wealth, the same possibilities of maintaining some- thing like monopoly, would have been as generoys with the rest of mankind ‘as the Americans have been. Not a few among us have even been in- clined to fear lest our libtrality in this regard might at length leave ug at a disadvantage in comparison with countries more’ willing to e: ploit their opportunities for mon poly or less liberal with their na- tural resources. “I do not refer to tl matters with any ‘intent of criticising the countries whose methods differ from our own.

The measure was agreed to by the cabinet this morning. He asked its immediate reference ‘to the finance committee and a report on it before the end of the day. The goyernment’s financial plan also includes regularizing the cur- rency situation by raising the limit of the bank bill issue by the Bank of France from 41,000,000,000 to a total of 45,000,000,000 francs, and in- creasing the limit of advances by the bank to the state by 4,000,000,000 francs. M. de Monzie asked the Chamber to set aside tomorrow afternoon’s sit- ting for examination and discussion of the finance bill and the Chamber agreed. “Owing to the extremely import- ant nature of this bill and the pub- lic anxiety which must and will be reassured,” said the Finance Minis- ter, “the government will be at the Chamber's disposition tomorrow.” It was announced that both mier Herriot and Finance Min de Monzie would app fore the finance commi The mechanism of t! explained by the Min after adjournment of this morning’ Cabinet meeting! is intended to af- ford property owners and capitalists of France a chance to come forward and contribute proportionately of ‘their wealth to the renov: n of French finances. “It contains provisions obliging em to do so if they refrain from voluntary subscription.
