Council Of Trade
Predicts Raid On
u. s. Gold Reserve

Washington, July 20.--A general
European attack upon Americas un-
precedented gold reserve and foreign
trade at the close # the war is pre-
dicted in statement submitted to
the house judiciary committee today
by the national foreign trade council,
urging passage of the Webb bill to
permit American combinations in the
export trade.
Pointing out that the present en-
ormous export business is due large
ly to an abnormal war demand, the
council says the liberty to cooperate,
which rivals and customers of Ameri-
can firms have enjoyed, has produced
highly organized selling agencies and
that the United States cannot hold its
position in the world Of business if
European industrial and government
cooperation against American COM
petition is to continue.
The judiciary committee concluded
hearings today on the Webb. bill. El-
colt H. Goodwin, general secretary
OF the chamber Of commerce OF the
United States, submitted the results
OF the referendum of the chamber ap-
proving export combinations.
