General sessions will be held in a theater each morning with eleven group sessions during the afternoons and evenings, the convention closing with a general session saturday morn- ing.

The chairman pointed to the fact that the national foreign trade council is entirely non-partisan, non-political and never adopts resolutions of any kind at its meetings. The four main points in Mr. Far- rell’'s address were: ¥ The necessity for an extention of | foreign credits to enable nations par- alyzed by the war to buy in American markets; flexible bargain plan to permit of the imposition of penalties for discrimi- nation against American products on | the granting of concessions for their favorable treatment; abolition of revision of the tariff on a | ' double taxatigh in order that Ameri- | can' investments abroad may be ex- empt from domestic income tax to place American exporters on equality basis with British, French, German and Japanese competitors in foreign flelds; development American mercantile marine.
