By the Assoclated Press. HOUSTON, Tex.,, November 20.— President Roosevelt and Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, told the National Foreign Trade Convention last night the United States stands ready to take the lead in the elimination of injurious trade barriers throughout the world. Messages from the Pfesident and Secretary of State were read at the world trade dinner, the climactic function of the twenty-second annual convention. “If we would build constructively for peace,” the President wrote, “we | | | must build upon economic founda= | tions which are sound; sound econom- Amer- other nations in this great move- ment.” “International trade today is being | |throttled mnot only by prohibitive | | duties, but also by import quotas and other trade control measures,” Mr.| Roosevelt said. “These highly arbi- trary restrictions prevent the flow of | trade through normal and most profit- iable channels. The growing cost both | to the United States and to other na- tions is becoming intolerable. Discrimination Opposed. “World trade for the profit of all Grove's Laxative Bromo | must be liberalized and freed from | discriminatory practices. There must be a turn to fair and friendly trade methods. We cannot accomplish | this alone. The only practicable way to assure American trade of protec- tion against injurious trade barriers in foreign countries is to join with these countries in a concerted effort to reduce excessive trade restrictions and to re-establish commercial rela- tions on a non-discriminatory basis. | This is the kernel of the American trade agreements program.” After extending greetings to the convention, the President wrote: “It is the knowledge that you will take full advantage of any new opportuni- ties for expanding our foreign trade that encourages the administration in concert with other governments to press forward with its efforts to bring about a relaxation of governmental restrictions, which now throttle inter- national commerce. * * * “The full reward of America's high productive capacity is only gained when our business men and our farm- ers can sell their surpluses abroad. * * ¢ Asevery producer knows, it is not merely the value of his foreign sales which is lost when he is left with an unmarketable surplus on his hands. The value of his entire production is seriously impaired. * * * Foreign Markets Necessary. “Foreign markets must be regained if American producers are to rebuild a full and enduring domestic pros- perity for our people. There is no other way if we would avoid painful economic dislocations, social readjust- ments and unemployment. “In rebuilding our foreign markets we can not afford to lose sight of the | fact that a market only exists because | people buy as well as sell. In the long run a nation’s sales are inesca- pably limited by its purchases. This| does not mean an unprofitable ex- change of goods. It means that each| | country has something it desires to | sell, which other countries find it desirable and profitable to buy. * * ¢ “The American program stands out today in the eyes of the world as a| definitely constructive program de-| signed to combat the tendency toward | excessive national self-sufficiency and | the depressed standards of living which | extreme economic isolation inevitably | entail.” Secretary Hull wrote that “no per- manent world recovery can be counted upon until world trade barriers have been scaled down to reasonable dimen- sions. Mutual Destruction. “The governments of nations that| lead in world trade are increasingly| aware of the futility of mutual destruc- tion of each other’s commerce,” he | wrote. | “Each trade agreement which this | Government signs under the uncondi- | tional most-favored-nation principle has a cumulative effect on the reduc- tion of trade barriers throughout the world. Our program is, therefore, to be considered as a trade restorative effort aimed not only at the rehabilita- | tion of our own foreign trade, but as the restoration of the profitable volume of international trade the world over which is essential for the restoration of prosperity in the United States on a sound basis.” James A. Farrell, chairman of the| National Foreign Trade Council, was the first speaker at the dinner. He said effects of the “nationalistic trend have proved to be disappointing to the nations that have indulged in this dream of self-containment.” “The nations of the world, econom- ically, stand or fall together,” he stated. “Partners in. world commerce, prosperity can be found only in closest co-operation and in a fine understand- ing of what constitutes the common interest.” PETWORTH CITIZENS HIT LIQUOR LICENSE Oppose Application for Firm Lo- cated Near Schools—Health Survey Indorsed. Opposition to the application for 2 Class C liquor license in Petworth was voted last night by the Petworth | Citizens’ Association, meeting in the Petworth School. ‘The resolution, brought in by George W. Potter, showed that the location of the applicant was within 400 feet of the Roosevelt High and MacFarland Junior High School grounds. In the discusion of the measure the present system of notifying the public of liquor license applications was scored as being inefficient. In another measure adopted, mem- bers indorsed the case finding survey now being conducted by the District health officer, Dr. George C. Ruhland. Filling a vacancy left open at last month’s annual election, William P. Kilgore was unanimously elected corresponding secretary. A 30-minute open forum was held on taxation.

PERFDY CHARGED 0N OIL IMPORTS Levy on Philippine Product Held Like Time Bomb for New Government. HOUSTON, Tex., November American betrayal of the Philippines through 100 per cent Federal taxation of coconut oil imports was charged today at the National Foreign Trade Convention here. Claiming that if the tax continues in its present form, “It is as if we had placed a time bomb in the hold of the newly launched commonwealth gov- ernment,” John B. Gordon, secretary of the Bureau of Raw Materials for American Vegetable Oils and Fats In- dustries, pleaded for support of legis- lation to ease a crushing burden on millions of Filipino farmers. “President Manuel Quezon,” Gordon said, “ascribed the recent Sakdalista outbreak which cost 60 lives to bad economic conditions engendered in | part by the excise tax.” | Bill Provides No Duty. Gordon said the Philippine inde- pendence bill provided a duty-free quota of 448,000.000 pounds of coconut | oil to the United States annually, | Then Congress last year, over Presi-| dent Roosevelt's protest, imposed a levy of 3 cents a pound on the product. The result has been to increase the price to American consumers of soap, zinc laurate, used by rubber tire makers, sulphonated coconut oil, used | by leather tanners, and to injure a major Philippine industry. “At the moment of the levying of the excise tax,” he said, “it was obvious that the attempt at correction was un- fair because while levying what amounted to a 100 per cent import duty on the second most important export of the Philippines to the United States, no change was made in the policy which forces the Filipinos to accept American-made merchandise duty free. “But the outstanding element of un- fairness was the stipulation that the Filipino government could not, under pain of losing the money it received from the 3-cent-per-pound excise tax, return any portion of it by direct or indirect subsidy to the producer of copra, the coccnut growers who bear the main burden of the tax. Selling Below Cost. Gordon said copra was selling in the Philippines at below production cost and at less than half its normal value because of the tax. The intended compensation to the Philippine gov- ernment, he said, in the form of re- turned collections on the excise tax, has not yet been turned over, because | “it is suspected that Controller General | McCarl thinks that this disposition of | tax money collected from American | taxpayers is unconstitutional.” | He blamed the imposition of the tax | upon the misdirected efforts of butter producers, cottonseed oil manufac- turers and stock growers, who wanted an increased market for their products at the expense of the Philippines. | As a remedy for this burden on the SINGLE ROOM/AND PRIVATE BATH | £ A new hotel on 42nd Street 2 blocks east of Grand Central Station HOTEL TUDOR NEW YORK CITY —Soup or Cocktail, 3 Vegetables, Choicest N.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., November 20. ~—Dynamic Louis J. Taber, starting his thirteenth year as master of the Na- tional Grange, has a simple, seven- word explanation for a record un- precedented in American agricul- ture. “Hard work and putting the Grange first,” said the square-jawed Ohioan, here for the national con- vention of the organization with which he has been connected for 35 years. As for hard work he knows 1oWs 3 Taber. what it is. His father died when he was 14, leaving him to care for the | family. Since he became master of the Grange he has averaged 12 hours a day in his office at Columbus, Ohio. Recalls_Struggle. As for putting the Grange first, this | is the way the white-haired Taber | feels about it: Only theose who knew the struggl following can realize the long, hard road agriculture has traveled prior to this depression. take into their hands their own busi- ness affairs; if they were thoroughly organized, intelligently co-operative and would follow the rules of educa- tion and research, they could provide for themselves easier and happier roads than those this generation has | traveled.” Spurns Government Posts. Three Presidents have offered the | 57-year-old Grange master attractive | positions in their administrations at much higher salaries than the $5,060 the Grange pays him, but he feels he can fight better as the head of the farm fraternity.

CO.OPERATIVES TOP GRANGE INTEREST Market Expansion Heads List of Policies Enunciated at Sacramento. By the Assoclated Press. SACRAMENTO, Calif, November 20—Expansion of co-operstive mar- keting, taxation of butter substi- tutes and repeal of State sales texes were enunciated yesterday as policies of the National Grange for 1936. Committees at the national con- vention worked at top speed to sift the stack of resolutions offered by delegates from 35 States, and the bulk of the Grange policies will be determined today and tomorrow, the last days of the meeting. Co-operatives for the consumer as well as the producer were advocated by the farmers in adopting the re- port of a committee headed by Ervin E. King, master of the Washington State Grange. Farmers at Disadvantage. The growth of business and finance | has placed “unorganized agriculture at a great disadvantage,” said the report, and this circumstance will “increase as time goes on, unless corrected by the farmers themselves through co-operative action.” ‘The argument for consumer co- operatives was advanced with the statement: “Under our present monopolistic system one of the greatest difficulties is that industrial workers are unable to buy back goods which they them- selves produced. We even get in- volved ir disputes internationally be- cause of some of our combines want- ing selling advantages. “Consumer co-operatives is a so- lution to this evil and should be en- couraged. The private profit motive should be replaced by the co-operative motive of service.” The Grange urged “strong opposi- tion” to sales taxes on the ground they have been folsted upon the masses by corporations and large property holders seeking to unload their taxes. In their place the Grange suggested income and inheritance taxes, among others, because they were based “upon the ability to pay and not upon the necessity to live.” The Grange voted to oppose amend- ment No. 39 to the A. A. A. on the grounds it would make co-operatives | ineligible to receive governmental loans. It advocated a 5-cent-per-pound | levy on butter substitutes to compel imlnuLacLurers to pay “a tax com- parable to that paid by dairy pro- ducers upon their real and personal property in the production of butter.” Radiophone Links.
