C, FRIDAY, APRIL 5 1840, Roosevelt, Garner Seen Split on Limit To Trade Pacis Act President Opposes One-Year Restriction To Agreements Law (Continued From Page A-1) tary Hull,” Senator Walsh continued, “I place myself in that group.” Senator Walsh centered his oppo- sition to a three-year extension on the ground that no one can tell who will be President after next January, “It may be that circumstances and events will dictate Mr. Roosevelt's renomination,” Senator Walsh said. “It may be that in such a contingen- cy he will be re-elected for a third term. It may be that the next Pres- ident will be some Democrat pledged to a continuation of the policies of the present administration. It may be that the next President may be a Republican, whose views with re- spect to tariffs may be at wide va- riance with the doctrines of Secre- tary Hull. We do not know; we can- not foresee.” Later, Secretary of State Hull sald at his press conference that he con- sidered a one-year limitation on ex- tension of the act would be utterly unfeasible from the standpoint of the objectives of the program. He added he had confidence in the judgment of the Senators on the question and in their wide knowl- edge of the many reasons why the life of the act should not be limited to 12 months at this time. Garner Talks Reported. Mr. Garner, it was said, held a series of conversations with Sen- ators to urge support of the one- year amendment offered by op- ponents of the trade legislation in a last-ditch effort to impose at least one restriction on administration trade powers. Mr. Garner’s stand in favor of the amendment was in opposition to the position taken by several of his close friends in the Senate, including Sen- ator Harrison, Democrat, of Mis- sissippi, floor manager for the trade | legislation, and Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina, aiding Senator Harrison in the trade fight. Senate leaders declined to com- ment on Mr. Garrer’s stand, and Mr. Garner refused to affirm or deny the reports. Two Senators in close touch with the Vice President said, however, they were positive Mr. Garner was supporting the one-year proposal energetically and that he had prom- ised to vote for it in the event of a | Senate tie. Democratic Leader Barkley pre- dicted the amendment would be de- feated, however. He also said the | proposal, if enacted, would cripple | the trade agreements program. “With the uncertain conditions in | the world at present,” Senator Barkley said, “it might be that no single agreement could be reached from the fiscal year 1932 to the fiscal year 1930 have increased from $1,- 908,000,000 to $2,885,000,000, or by 512 per cent. Agricultural exports, on the other hand, have actually de- clined from $752,000,000 to $883,- 000,000, or by 9.2 per cent over the same period. In fact, agricultural exports as a percentage of total ex- ports reached a low of 23.7 per cent in the fiscal year 1939, the lowest for any flscal year for which records are avallable.” Senator McNary contended the trade program has failed to alleviate “the uneconomic conditions which existed in 1034, again in 1937 and now in 1940.” The problem of agri- cultural surpluses is no less acute today than in 1934, he argued.

New Deal Keeps File To 'Get' Him, Willkie Says He Is Informed No Presidential Candidate But Would Accept, Utilities Head States By the Associated Press. NEW.YORK, April 5—Wendell L. Willkie, president of the Common- wealth & Southern Corp., told a ‘Town Hall audience yesterday that he understood New Deal officials had threatened “to get him if it is the last thing we ever do.” As a result, Mr. Willkle said, a file on his activities and utterances was being kept in Washington. The information, he said, came from a representative of one of America’s ‘“notable publications,” who said he had heard it from a member of one of Washington's principal boards. The utilities head, a Republican, made the assertions in a speech in which he declared he was not a presidential candidate, though would accept the nomination if offered it. Mr, Willkie presented a three- point program for returning the country to what he termed “tradi- tional American liberalism.” Calls for New Deal Curb, His program called for a curb on the authority of New Deal boards and commissions; modification of tax laws, and a change in the Gov- ernment’s general attitude toward business, In another speech in Boston to- day, Mr. Willkie held that American industry had become a “whipping boy” for government, and asserted that current economic suffering in the United States was primarily the fault of government, “By its sinister rumors the Gov- ernment has created a Government- made depression,” he declared in a prepared address before the Boston Chamber of Commerce. “The eco- nomic suffering of the American peo- ple today is not the fault of in- dustry: It is primarily the fault of Government, “We shall not provide jobs for the workers of America, new products for the consumers of America, and new expanding industries for the investors of America until the dark destroyed. “This dark legend,” he went on, “has continued for almost eight years. The politicians “brewed a kind of witch’s broth out of & pot of horror and smeared it all over Amer- ican enterprise. Incredible as it may seem, they even took tha term ' ' which had been hoi in this country for more than a century, and turned it into an epithet.” He conceded that some business- man and industrialists had been guilty of dishonesty and of abuses, but added: “I will here publicly predict that you will encounter abuses in both industry and Gov- ernment in the future. Dreadful as it may be, we must face the pos- sibility that we shall come upon s0me man somewhere, some time, who will be doing something wrong. “It is hardly good practice to kill the patient in order to prevent re- currence of the disease.” The Securities and Exchange Com- FALSE TEETH REPAIRED WHILE YOU WAIT ROBT B.

The Nevadan, one of the Western | Pemocrats seeking to modify the program, had reference to the fact that the administration has held a majority against all proposed amendments since the battle started two weeks ago. Backers of the program admitted | the one-year amendment would bring a close vote, but they were banking on holding the margin by | which they have defeated efforts to require congressional or Senate approval of future trade pacts. Mr. Garner’s candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomina- tion, and the fact that Secretary Hull, the leading advocate of the trade agreements, also has been mentioned as a possible nominee, gave added interest to the situation. Members of the coalition of Re- publicans and Western Democrats, fighting to curb the State Depart- ment’s power to negotiate further trade agreements, continued yester- day their attack on efforts to require some form of congressional approval. | The nesrest they came to success was on the Pittman amendment last week to classify the agreements as | treaties, requiring Senate ratifica- tion by a two-thirds vote, which failed, 44 to 41. 44 Against O'Mahoney Plan. Driving at the same general objec- tive, the opposition was repulsed again yesterday on the following alternative proposals: The O’Mahoney amendment, to require approval of the agreements by majority vote of the House and Senate, defeated 44 to 38. The Adams amendment, calling for approval by majority vote of the Senate alone, rejected 46 to 34. In quick succession, the supporters of the trade program then prevented adoption of two amendments de- signed to prohibit the fixing of im- port duties that would bring in for- eign products at less than the cost | of production in this country. One was offered by Senator McCarran, the other by Senator Taft, Repub- lican, of Ohio. The Republicans, who voted solidly for nearly all efforts to limit the scope of the administration’s nego- tiating power, are expected to make the program an issue in the ap- proaching presidential campaign. High-ranking Democrats are ready to meet the issue, however, confident they will be able to sustain their claim that the agreements have been beneficial ‘to the country ‘generally, by opening up foreign markets for American goods in exchange for concessions on certain imports, Passed originally in 1934, and con- tinued once in 1937, the act has re- sulted in 22 agreements with nations in all parts of the world. McNary Forecasts Approach. The line of attack the Republicans probably will make on the' program during the election campaign was forecast yesterday afternoon in the speech of Minority Leader McNary of Oregon, 'To support his claim that the pro- gram has hurt instead of helping the farmer, Senator McNary gave the following figures: Arm_lengths' vary, so<do: leg lengths and chest measurements.
