Peek Peek, a protege of Bernard Baruch the financier, was given the advisory position when he resigned as chief of the A. A, A. after a controversy with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and Undersecretary Tugwell. Since then he has issued a series of “Letters to the President” and made a number f speeches attacking the foreign trade program undertaken by Hull In disclosing that the office would be terminated Mr. Roosevelt said it was one of the agencies to be ended as a result of the Supreme Court' N. R. A. decision. He said its work had been completed. Peek will con- tinue as president of the two export- import banks organized to assist in financing business with other nations. In his capacity as trade adviser Peek has protested vigorously against the unconditional most - favored - nation clause which Hull has made the cor- nerstone of trade treaty negotiations It provides that concessions granted any nation by trade pact are ex- tended to all others which give equality of treatment to American goods. Friends of the soft-spoken State De- | partment. chief recalled that early in the New Deal he was the apparent | victor in another conflict with a | presidential adviser. Prof. Raymond Moley, with views somewhat more na- ! tionalistic than those of Hull, retired as Assistant Secretary of State. Moley has continued to be a frequent visitor at the White House, however. Withholds Comment. Peek' refrained from any comment today, but his office indicated he might make a statement later. His five- point program, as contrasted with Secretary Hull's policies, adyocated: 1. Governmental assistance to ex- porters and manufacturers to counter- |act special favors granted foreign | traders by other nations. In further- ance of this the Export-Import Bank\ has participated in approximately | $30,000,000 worth of business, chiefly | with Cuba and Spain. 2. Consolidation of the 50 govern- | mental agencies now interested in | foreign trade into one organization. 3.
