ECONOMIC PREPAREDNESS =
IN CASE OF HoSTILITIEs
Discussed by National Foreign Trade
Council of New York.

New FORK, March se.-The National
Foreign TRADE Council held a meet
ing here today to discuss plans for CO.
operating with the governlnent in solv-
ing problems FOR the maintenance Of
commerce and eeonoraic defense in
case of war
Resolutions were sdopted declaring
that economic preparedness is essen
tial to national defense and that ma
tional credit largely rests upon the
gold reserve oreafed by the present
foreign -comnaercese and that for
eign trade Is a source OF materials in
dispeEsablet to military and navalsd
fence -
The resplutibnsE urged upon the
government the. conviction of the
council that "dpr1ng any war forced
upon the United States the uainte-
nance OF e0n1merce both as a support
of national cEedit andsdf materials re-
quired in military operations is of
great IMPORTANCE
In view of the present rapid de-
crease of tonnage, they continued, the
governmeT1t-isS urged to devise a
method of cooperation with those en-
gagged in foreign trade and shipping
whereby the tonnage available for es-
tablished trades may be conserved in
the interest of economic as well as
military defense and necessary i'm
pressments may be effected with the
least withdrawal of tonnage for the
shortest period of time consistent with
national security"
