TAUSSIG POINTS WAY
TO TRADE SUCCESS
Government Must Effect Non-Dis-
eliminating Treaties After War
to Boom Our Commerce.

New York May 2.--On the cOnC1u-
sion of peace the government must
give it's attention to obtaining nom
between the United States and foreign
nations, Frank w. Taussig, chairman
of the U. S. Tariff commission, de-
clared in a paper read for him today
before the National Association Of
Cotton Manufacturers in convention
here.
In conclusion the paper said:
"To sum up: In the trade rivalry
which we may expect after the war,
the United States must rely on the eff
forts of it's industry for the promo
ton of it's export trade. Special de-
vices or ideas such as reduced rail-
way or steamship rates, cooperative
organization among businesses are not
comparable to this great dominating
factor. We must make goods we'll
and must make them cheap; we must
do better than other countries. And
on the other hand we must not supine-
ly rely upon this sort of economic
virtue. We must secure a fair field
in which to enable our effectiveness
to secure it's due return. We must
not only be in a position to send out
goods wanted but we must be in q
position to prevent them from being
headed off through discrimination in
favor of others. We must have some
sort of bargaining power Of a kind not
authorized by existing legislation.

Private Eugene W. Jones, Jr., On
Today's Casualty List
R0MERI KILLED IN ACTION
Soldier Victim of Seicheprcy Battle
Believed to Be From New Britain
Relatives Cannot Be Located--NOt
on Company Rolls.

Another New Britain mans name
appears on today's casualty list as
slightly wounded and a second name,
believed to be a New Britain soldier,
is listed as killed in action. The
wounded man is Private Eugene W.
Jones, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Jones of 80 Lawlor street. The
soldier reported as killed is Private
Daniel l.. ROmeri, son of Albert
Romeri but the father Of the dead
soldier has apparently left New Britain
since his son joined the army as no
information concerning his where
abouts has been learned.
Private Jones enlisted last summer
while Company T. was modified in
this city preparatory to going into the
concentration camp at New Haven and
then to France,
The war departmen ent's telegram to
Albert Romeri advises him that his
son, Private Daniel L. Romeri, was
killed in action on April 20 At press
time the father of the dead soldier
had not been located and his address
could not be found The roster Of
Company e or [ does not contain the
name, of Private Romeri and it is be-
lleved possible that this man enlisted
after the local companies left the city
and that New Britain may have been
the last known address of his father
Further investigation to attempt to
ascertain the whereabouts of his rela-
tives will be made
