HOOvER'S NAME
BOOST TO FUND
FOR U. S. TRADE
Committee Goes Over Head
of Budget Director to
Increase Sum.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Her-
bert Hoover'S name has ben invoked
successfully by Dr. Julius Klein in
wrestling from the house aprropria-
tons committee more money fo-
foreign trade expansion than had
been approved by the bulge;
bureau.
Figures made public today show
that, instead of cutting the bureaus
estimates, the committee gave its
approval to increases for those ac-
tivities in which Hoover was inter
ested especially while he was secre-
tary Of commerce. AS a rule, the
committee adheres to Budget Di
rector Lords figures Or goes below
them.
With formal compliment for the
work of the department in the field
of foreign trade, the committee
sided with DR.. Klein as agains
Lord, following the formers deScrip-
ton Of increasing European COM
petition in all parts of the world
but especially in South America.
1.-THE situation in South America
DR.. Klein told the committee. "iS
getting much more important, as
you all know. In connection with
the trip of the President-elect, and
also more particularly, in connec-
ton with the drive of Europeans for
those markets.
mot a day passes but we hear of
some new effort being made down
there by our European rivals" he
declared.
The trade expert warned the COM
mittee that, unless We capitalize
the present opportunity" South
American markets will be closed 10
the American business man within
a year. Lords cuts, he continued
would force cancellation of plans
for trade expansion in the very
countries recently visited by Hoover.
So the committee raised the
budget figures for trade develop
ment at home and abroad by $685.
500. Because of DR.. Klein'S asser-
ton that trade often follows the
film as well as the flag, and that
American movies stimulates a de.
mand for American-made goods, the
sum Of $500 was appropriated fof
creation of a motion picture division
in the department of commerce.

MEXICAN IMMIGRATION
ACTION is UNLIKELY
House Shows no Disposition to Push
Quota Law.


BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-There
is little prospect that a Mexican.
quota law will be enacted at this
session of congress in spite of
prompt action by the senate immi-
grafton committee in reporting
such bill.
The house committee has shown
no signs of willingness to revive
the measure. After extensive hear
ings last session, the committee
failed to report the bill. There was
a general feeling that enough lawa
exist properly to control Mexican
immigration if they could be en-
forced, and that the small border
patrol force now at work could de-
nothing to make a quota law effec-
tive.
Since then the state department
has frightened it's regulations at the
border, and Is examining more
closely MeXicans seeking to enter
this country for permanent resi-.
dence.
