STANDARD OF LIVING MUST
 BE ADVANCED
Consuming Power of Ma tions Brought to Front
 Break Tariff Walls

WEST BADEN, Ind. Oct. IS. The American economic theory that the standard of living for all classes of people must be raised in order to increase their consuming power, is beginning to be accepted as a basis for Euro pean economic and political ac- ton, Julius H. Barnes declared in an address before the United States Chamber of Commerce to day. Barnes is the American Vice-President of the Interna- tional Chamber of Commerce.
 Breaking down the tariff walls between countries economically interdependent, as are those of Europe, is primary requisits toward the expanding power of consumption of whole nations, Barnes said.
 European business men have to realize that such trade bar riers between nations of com paratively equal stands of living must be shattered. American business has a genuine interest Tn seeing stabilized business con- ditions throughout the world br- cause we have to know that de- pression anywhere has it's effect everywhere" concluded Barnes.
