HOOVER TO MAP OCEAN TRADE ROUTES enger encountered ‘Will Name Special Committee to: Work on Plan to Boom U. S. Foreign Trade. An exhaustive study of the trade routes on which American goods move to foreign markets will be made by a special committee to be appointed by the Depariment of Commerce, Secre- tary Hoover said today. So far, Mr. Hoover said, no adequate study of this question has been made, and it is desirable in the movement to ! increase exports that the profitable | trade routes be clearly mapped out. He said the study would be a general strategy of Shipping Board operations and would show how far the govern- ment should go in the maintenance of established trade routes. ~All the various questions will be considered, he added, | such as rail and terminal facilities, ports and harbors, both government controlied and private steamship lines and the application of the preferential | zail rate section of the merchant ma- | rine act One of the countr:'s troubles, Mr. Hoover said, is that there has been no definite reconstruction program _out- lined as vet. While business was brisk, he said, details of reconstruction were left to be worked out when the need arose, and so far reconstruction has been treated as a necessily without ap- plication of the constructive plan. Btudy of the American trade routes, he said, would throw considerable light on the Teconstruction needs of the nation. ARG N —— TWO DUEL TO DEATH.
