Signs widely interpreted as indicat- ing a sharp break between the Presi- dent and the organization of business men were seen as the convention went into its final day. President Withholds Message. President Roosevelt, reported to be angry over sharp assaults which con- vention speakers have launched against New Deal measures and plans, omitted to send a message to (he‘ chamber’s annual dinner last night. For years the chamber has been a customed to hear a speech or a mes- sage from the Chief Executive. It was explained at the White House today that the President was not. asked to send a greeting and that| Chamber of Commerce on the subject of foreign trade. he certainly has no intention of re- |~ — questing the chamber to send him an invitation for & message. Further- more, the inference was drawn from the attitude of the White House re- garding this matter that the Presi- dent looks upon this gathering of business representatives in Washing- ton as merely “another convention.” ‘There was a tendency to regard the present situation as one of the most significant developments in Govern- ment-business relations since the American Bankers' Association Con- vention last year. The result of the bankers’ convention was an apparent rapprochement widely heralded at the time as a “peace pact.” In his address, Hull said: “We cannot have 3 peaceful we cannot have a prosperous until we rebuild the economic struc- ture. Economic questions and condi- tions form the basis of international relations now more than at any other time in history. If nations are en- gaged in discrimination or retaliation, or in the practice of irritating trad methods teward one another, the pres- ervation o: friendly relations and of that understanding necessary for peace and mutual prosperity is ren- dered difficult and precarious. With- out friendly relations and understand- world, world, ing. nations are little prone to settle questions or controversies by arbitra- tion or other orderly means. On the contrary, they are hasty to arm and to institute force for justic2> in internaticnal affairs. ‘We behold that tendency progressed to an alarming extent tod: Post-War Maladjustments. “It is my belief,” Hull said further, “that mosi nations drifted into the condition in which they now find themselves. due primarily to the pressure of the peculiar maladjust- ments of the post-war period and the wave of extreme economic national- ! ism incident thereto: that with pos- | sibly a few exceptions they have not deliberate'y elected to follow the course to which circumstances have forced them. It is tncumbent upon some great nations, certainly the United States as much as any other, to come forward with a broad, con- structive program calculated to d place graaually the policies which have proved so futile and so destruc tive during these past several years.” In his analysis of disturbed world conditions, Secretary Hull did not hesitate to lay the blame, in part, at the door of this country, which, he amplified, refused to recognize its changed status wrought by the World War, and to guide its course accord- ingly. Foreign Trade Barriers. “Being at -that time (pre-war) a debtor and undeveloped country, a policy at times highly protective, led to no serious consequences,” he said, “but shortly after the World War, ig- noring the economic transformation which had taken place, we began to erect barriers to our foreign trade not | consistent with our newly-achieved creditor position nor our efficiency in production. Within the short space of a decade we had raised our tariff rates on three successive occasions, thereby preparing the destruction of our vast foreign trade, upon which 8 large share of our prosperity rested. ‘This interference, opportunist in #pirit, unco-ordinated with our other policies, and, contrary to our long- term interests, represented a definite | break with the ideal of economic lib- eralism which had made possible this great commercial expansion. “The events of the World War enormously increased the importance of the United States commercially and financially in world affairs.

NOrth 4423. L4 { e_stockholders will be | | THE EVENING | Secretary Hull, Henry I. Harriman and William Phillips, just before at the time when the disturbed inter- | national relations of the post-war | period called for the broadest devel- | opment of world trade as a means of | minimizing shocks and creating a| new international balance, we adopted an unduly high protectionist nolicy | which played its part in the subse- | quent world-wide collapse and con- | tributed in so important a measure to the present breakdown in inter- national commercial and financial re- | lations.” Coupled with this, Huil said, was a policy of “wild and reckless lending.” Asserting that “international rela- ‘ tions are no longer incidental to na- tional life, but have become an essen- tial or in the existence of all na- | tions,” Hull said a point has been | reached “where every country must | go forward both on a domestic and international economic program. so | that the buovancy of an expanding | world prosperity will develop to sus- | tain and promote the expansion of | domestic recovery. The internation- | al aspects of such a combined pro- | gram are far broader than the mere | readjustment of a limited number of | tariff rates in this country. It en- | visages, broadly speaking. that impor- | tant naticns throughou® the world | will proceed gradually but simulta- reously to readjust to a more reason- and peaceful | oy jeve] the existing excessive tar- } iffs. quotas and other trade bar- | riers, and to abandon the chief forms | of discrimination in international | | finance and commerce, and to adopt air, equal and friendly trade methods | and practices. | Fundamntal Aspect. | | “wnile this and other countries | have made a very considerable recov- ! ery in production and prices and, un- | der its constructive domestic program | | this country will make considerably | more, the limitations encountered by reason of the extreme isolationism throughou; the world are more and more pressing themselves upon the national consciousness of this and | other countries. It is well, therefore, , to give thought to the permanent | and fundamental aspects of the situ- | | atlon in which our recovery policies | a whole must function. While it would be difficult to exaggerate the | | importance of domestic end internal ! | measures for recovery, it is neverthe- | | less true that the collapse of world | trade is beyond any doubt one of the | | most important factors prolonging | the depression. The breakdown of | the international structure has cre- | ated uncertainty and fear, and holds | in check the tens of billions of dollars | of investment which today are most urgent owing to capital depreciation. obsolescence, renewals. Tepairs and the need for new structures. What is | required. at this juncture is to move forward both on the comestic and the | international fronts toward a full and stable measure of trade expansion and industrial prosperity.” Going into detail on trade malad- | | justments, the Secretary of State! | listed them as manipulation of tariff | | rates, quotas, exchange controls and | | other devices designed to exclude for- | | eign products, and in exclusive bi- lateral arrangements, rather than tri- | angular or multilateral trade pacts. | In this connection he hit at the “self- ish interests” in this country which argue for adoption of like policies. | Foreign Policy Defined. | Defining, finally, America's for- | elgn policy, Hull said: “We oppose ex- | | clusive or preferential arrangements | the effect of which would be to im- pose discriminatory tariff rates against | other countries. On the other side, this country does not intend to accept | discrimination against American com- | | merce in foreign countries. It desires | to extend equality of treatment to all | nations and it seeks to obtain fair | and equitable treatment from all na- | tions. The unconditional most- | favored-nation policy, as already in- dicated, is the one which almost uni- versal experience since the middle of the last century has demonstrated to be the best suited for the attainment of these purposes. This Government is convinced that only if it makes the most determined attempt to stem the degeneration of international com- mercial intercourse into a network of | bilateral arrangements of an exclusive and restrictive type with their accom- panying discriminations and retalia- tions, can international trade be re- stored.” CONSUMER SAVINGS LAID TO ADVERTISING New Yorker Finds Mass Output| Spurred, Resulting in Cost Reductions. Advertising, spurring mass produc- tion, has been a leading factor in reducing costs to consumers, Roy 8. Durstine, New York advertising man, told a group meeting yesterday of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. “Any one who has had an oppor- tunity to observe American business over the past 20 years can multiply examples of the way that growth in volume has given the consumer, either the same value at a lower price, or added value at the same price, or both,” he said. “And when more and more manu- facturers advertising consumer prod- ucts can lose their Washington-made Jitters and swing into their stride as 50 many are doing today to their in- creasing profit, then shall we have found that the pump has been primed—not by the doubtful expedi- ent of pouring oil on troubled waters, but by using advertising for what it BRITISH RECOVERY STAR, WASHINGTON, Defends New Deal Wisdom Hull addressed the United States ~Harris-Ewing Photo. CITED BY ALLEN Kansas G. 0. P. Leader Hits| Roosevelt Program in C. of C. Address. In a speech patently aimed at the Roosevelt administration, but which did not mention it by name, Henry J. | Allen, Kansas Republican leader, last night compared before the Chamber of Commerce of the United States the recovery programs of this country and Great Britain, to the advantage of the latter. “That Great Britain has attained a recovery which, for the present, leads the world, there can be no doubt.” | said the erstwhile Governor and Sen- ator, who is a friend of Herbert Hoover, in an address at the chamber banquet. “Great Britain has balanced her budget, provided for her relief, and i. seeing a substantial reduction in her taxation. There is no indication of anything of that sort in this coun- try.” | For the first time since President Roosevelt took office, the dinner, an annual event held at the Auditorium, had no word from the White House. Cause Not Fxplained. There was nothing to indicate whether this was due to the bombard- ment to which the Roosevelt recovery program has been subjected in the chamber sessions or the fact that. as one business leader said, Mr. Roose- velt had not been pressed at length for a message. “Three and a half years ago Eng- land was in a situation similar to that | in which we find ourselves at this | hour.” Allen told the business men. | “The Socialist government held a' large majority in Parliament, and | talked naively about the unimpor- tance of an unbalanced budget. These Socialist leaders answered the uneasy objectors to an unbalanced budget with superior scorn and then added amendments making it still easier to live off the Treasury without work. o e “They increased the rx'rnvaganr!! of the relief program until Britain's | credit broke. France began gold with- drawals, there was a flight from the pound. and the abandonment of the | gold standard became an economic | and fiscal necessity. | “Then the world saw the most en- | couraging transition in the history of democracy. The British right and center wheeled into line to protect the credit of a demoralized nation against | the further extravagance of the radical | Jeft wing. * * ¢ “The new Nationalist government. which came in three years and a half | ago. had as its first objective the bal- | ncing of the budget. The budget was | balanced by the old-fashioned method | of economy and self-denial. No new | leadership arose to tell them it could | be done by the magic of greater spend- | ing.” Flexible British Tariff. Coupled with this, Allen continued, is the English tariff policy. *“Once | tariff was an obscene word in England.” | he amplified, “today the tariff-con- sciousness is about where it was in this country in the days of William | McKinley and the steel plate industry. The English tariff is the last word in flexibility. Its trading provisions are not made subject to any favored na- tion’s doctrine. It is a trading tariff for direct and immediate results upon particular commodities. * * * “In addition to this, England has been developing a protected consumers’ market, and the increase in her lighter industries due to the sudden establish- | ;ner‘;t of this policy has amazed Eng- and.” He cited as a third cause for pros- perity there the housing activities. “The chief comfort one brings away from England,” Allen said, “is the realization that with problems in nearly every respect similar to those of ours, and with the same social | foundations, she has found her way | into .a clear light of common sense | and common democratic endeavor.” o Two Robbed of $20,000. BOSTON, May 2 (#).—Two Wey- | mouth Trust Co. messengers today were robbed of $20,000 on the Old | Colony boulevard in the Dorchester section of Boston.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, May 2.—The relief situation in Illinois remained at a standstill today, with the Legis- lature hopelessly deadlocked. Most of the relief stations, caring for 1,- 200,000 persons, were closed entirely, and the others operating on a sharply restricted emergency basis. The Federal Government has or- dered further relief funds withheld until the State appropriated $3,100.000 & month as its proportion of the relief load. One Course Left Open. ‘The Governor’s program, embodying an increase in the State sales tax, fell short last night of the 102 votes | needed to make the bill effective at once.

Hopkins was attacked bit- | terly as a “simpleton” and a “bluffer.” found 88 members willing to vote for the sales tax bill. Without the emer- gency clause, only 77 votes would be needed. Gov, Horner, turned down in a direct appeal to President Roosevelt, had another course open—to make another effort to pass the sales tax bill as an emergency measure.

LONDON, May 2.—The House of Commons struck a serious blow at the invasion of American fllms yesterday, sounding a potential death knell to vast Hollywood profits in Great Britain, A resolution aimed at what was de- scribed as “dumping” of foreign films passed the House after a brief dis- cussion. The attack was led by Her- bert. Williams, Conservative. “Pilms coming into this country are taxed on the cost of taking the photo- | graphs,” said Willlams, “and nothing for the production which might be involved. Last year $1,600,000 worth of films were imported, with a duty of $500,000. These films from abroad are loaned out to cinemas in this country at a sum which produced $30,000,000 for people abroad.” The resolution calls for taxation of goods at their value, according to the value reached in this country, that is, according to the profits reaped in Britain, 1,200,000 See Shows.
