HOOVER URGES WAR
ON ALIEN MONOPOLIES
Sane Progress Of World Periled
by Price Manipulation on 9
Products, He Tells Inquiry.

Washington. Diplomatic remon-
strances having failed. the United
States must build up a resistance"
against the price control by foreign
governments of basic compodities. or
else we will be confronted with a
most appalling vision OF future world
relations" Secretary Hover told the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce here
Mr., Hoover declared war on the
foreign governments manipulating the
supply and prices of rubber, cotton.
camphor. coffee, iodine. nitrates. pot
ash. mercury and sisal. He was sup
ported by testimony from experts in
the Department of Commerce.
The Secretary OF Commences ap-
pearance was the result Of resolu-
ton introduced by Representative
John C. TilSon. OF Connecticut, Repub-
lican floor leader, demanding an in
vestigation into the alleged manipulat-
ing by foreign governments In basic
commodities, among them rubber. At
that time II was stated that Ameri-
cans we're paying so much more than
the fair" price for rubber that in six
years we would have virtually paid to
Great Britain in profits the entire
amount of her war debt TO us.
After tracing the ways in which the
United States was being held up for
essential materials, Secretary Hoover
assured the committee that his COM
ment on foreign price-fxing was made
only after deep study and thought,
with the future of peaceful interna-
tional relations always in mind. "But
II we cannot secure freedom OF these
materials" he said. this will be a
world in which governments are to be
engaged in negotiating and jockeying
to secure favored positions in the dis
tribution OF the very life blood Of In.
dustry and the necessities Of every
day life"
