Financiers Unite In
Remarkable Plea for
Business Recovery

NEW YORK. Oct. 19.-tPl-A re-
markeble plea for removal Of the
tariff barriers and other restric-
tions from European trade was is
sued here TODAY over the signatures
of scores of the leading financiers

There can be no recovery in
Europe, the manifesto declares until
the politicians realize that "in time
of peace our neighbors are our Gus
toners and their prosperity is a con-
dition Of our own well-being."
"We desire. as business men, to
draw attention TO certain grave and
disquieting conditions, which in our
judgment. are revealing the iattention
to prosperity" the manifesto says.
"It is difficult to view without dis
may the extent to which tariff bar

interfere with internatio lal trade
