News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 FREE TRADE ONLY METHOD BY WHICH EUROPE CAN LIVE Furopean and American Indus- rial and Banking Experts Drait Manifesto TARIFF BARRIERS ARE RETARDING PROSPERITY Furope Cannot Recover Until Poli- ticlans Learn That “Trade Is Not ‘War But a Process of Exchange— J. P. Morgan Heads Delegation From U. S. and Gives Out State- ment, New York, Oct. 19 (P—A remark- able plea for removal of the tariff | barrlers and other restrictions upon European trade was issued here to- day over the signatures of scores of the leading financiers of Europe and a half dozen Amerlcans, headed by J. P. Morgan. Text of Statement The text follows: “We desire, as business men, to draw attentlon to certaln grave and disquieting conditions which, in our | judgment, are retarding the return | to prosperity. “It 1s difficult to view without dis- may the extent to which tariff bar- riers, special licenses and prohibi- tlons since the war have been al- lowed to interfere Wwith international trade and to prevent it from flowing in its natural channels. At no per- jod In recent history has freedom from such restrictions been more needed to enable traders to adapt themselves to new and difficult con- ditions. And at no period have im- pediments to trading been more perilously multiplied without a true appreciation of the economic conse- quences involved. 01a Markets Disappeared “The break-up of great political| units in Europe dealf a heavy blow to international trade. Across large areas, in which the inhabitants had been allowed to exchange their products freely, a number of new frontlers were crected and jealously guarded by customg barriers. 0Old markets disappeared. Racial Inter- ests were inseparably connected. The situation is not unlike that which would be created if a confederation of states were to dissolve the ties which bird them, and to proceed to penalize and hamper, instead of to encourage each other's trade. Few will doubt that under such condi- tions the prosperity of such a coun- try would rapidly decline. Prohibition Imposed “To mark and defend these new frontiers in Europe, licenses, tariffs and prohibitions were imposed. With results which experience shows al- ready to have been unfortunate for | all concerned. One state lost its supplies of cheap focd, another its supplies of cheap manufactures. In- dustries suffered for want ot coal, factories for want of raw materials. “Behind the customs barriers ne local industries were started, with no real economic foundation, which could only be kept alive in the face of competition by raising the bar- rlers higher still. Railway rates, dic- tated by political considerations, have made transit and freights diffl- cult and costly. Prices have risen, | artificial dearness has been created. Production as a whole has been diminished. Credit has contracted and currencles have depreciated. Own Welfar> Imperiled “Too many states, in pursuit of false ideals of national Interest, have imperiled their own welfare and lost sight of the common interests of the world, by basing their commercial | relations on the economi folly | which treats all trading as a form of war. “There can be no recovery in Europe until politicians in all terri- torles, old and new, realize that| trade is not war but a process of exchange, that in time of peace our neighbors are our customers, and that their prosperity is a condition of our own well-being, if we check their dealings, their power to pay | their debt diminishes, and their power to purchase our goods is re- duced. Restricted imports involve | restricted exports, and no nation can | afford to lose its export trade. De- | pendent as we all are upon imports and exports, and upon the processes of international exchange, we cannot view without grave concern a policy which means the impoverishment of | Europe. | “Happily there are signs that, opinion in all countries is awaking at last to the dangers ahead. The | Teague of Nations and the Interna- | tional chamber of commerce have | been working to reduce to a minl- mum al formalities, prohibitions and | restrictions, to remove inequalities | of treatment in other matters than | tariffs, to facilitate the transport of passengers and goods. In some countries powerful voices are plead- ing for the suspension of tariffs al- together. Others have suggested the conclusion for long period of com- merclal agreements embodying in every case the most-favored nation clause. More Favorable Treaties “Some states have recognized in recent treatles the necessity of free- ing trade from the restrictions which depress it. And experience is slowly teaching others that the breaking-down of the economlie bar- rlers between them may prove the surest remedy for the stagnation which exists. On the valuable politi- cal results which might flow from such a policy, from the substitu- tion of good-will for ill-will, of co- (Continued on Page 18), | manifesto {as | turers desire protection. | ceives about $5,000,0 | William W.
