FREE BUT POORER PILIPPINES SEEN Manila Business Man Seeks Preferential Trade Agreement. BY JAMES G. WINGO. ‘The Philippines will become much | poorer after independence than now, | in the opinion of Joaquin “Mike” | Elizalde, who flew from Manila to ‘Washington to participate in the first meeting tomorrow of the joint prepar- atory committee of experts to study trade relations between the United States and the Philippines and to| recommend for the adjustment of | Philippine national economy in prep- aration for the termination of pref- erential trade relations between the two countries. Elizalde, 41-year-old Manila busi- ness executive and polo player, is a member of the Philippine National Economic Council and the only active business man among the Filipino members of the Join{ committee. He is the president of Elizalde & Co., Inc., which is engaged in sugar, hemp, coco- nut, lumber, mining, ranching, ship- ping, distillery, insurance nad other | lines of business, and captain of the internationally known four Elizalde brothers 19-goal polo team. “The set-up under the Philippine independence act is good for only one | purpose,” he said. “It affords an op- | portunity for liquidation of United | “States interests in the islands | Dependent on Congress Now. “The Philippines will become a much poorer country after the United | States gets out of the islands. But the main thing, we of the Philippines, have to look for now is & certain amount of permanency and continuity in our | economic structure. At present we are very much dependent upon the | United States Congress.” | Elizalde, economic adviser of Presi- | dent Manuel Quezon, has outlined an economic system for the thppmes.‘ It is & semi-agricultural and industrial | one, adaptable to their requirements, | customs, mode of living, national re- sources, wealth, physical strength, and climate. “It is possible that, by negotiations, the United States would consent to accept, in limited amounts, sugar, coconut oil and tobacco products, which are almost totally dependent upon the American market,” he declared. “All these negotiations or bargaining could be made possible by offering, in exchange, continued preferential trade in this country for American products which have now an established market in the Philippines. Better Profits Advanced. “In relation to the exports of Amer- ican goods to the islands, it may be said that, although their total value is not as large as the United States exports to some countries, American better profits on the goods they ship FAAAAR R A A kA ¥»NEEDLECRAFT EXPERTS FOR EVERY SEWING SEEV!CE’, RE-WEAVING MENDING NEEDLECRAFT SERVICE SHOP FETTTTLTTTTY s Sk kA AAA AR Psychic Message Council 1100 Twelfth St N.W. .

Elliott said: “We were coming up on the west side of the channel.
