BUREAU TO PUSH FOREIGN
SALE OF TEXAS PRODUCTS

DALLAS. Tex, Nov. l2-(F7-
North Texas manufacturers who
wish TO know how many milk bot
ties are sold I'm Peru or whether
residents I'm Uruguay throw garb-
age on the streets soon viii have
a new and legitimate source for
information of that kind.
The federal government Is to
open in Dallas a new district Of
flee of the bureau OF foreign and
domestic commerce. Two other
such bureaus, one in Houston and
the other in Galveston, already
are f~unctioning, but bureau heads
say Texas $500. 900. 900 annual fore
ign trade total necessitate another
control office.
Dallas Chamber OF Commerce build
ing with Sherwood III. Avery as
district manager and Harold M.
Young assistant.
Gets Many Questions
Although the Dallas office ia
not to open until Nov. is, numer-
ous inquiries already have been
addressed to the new bureau. An
Oklahoma firm wanted the pas
t~eurization laws i'm five Latin
American republics and a Dallas
bank requested o. report on the
Reserve Bank { Africa. A Dallas
hosiery mill as.-ed for and got a
list Of importers in four Caribbean
markets. Another Dallas manufac-
turer was furnished information on
German trade agreements, and q
letter In Spanish, translated, ask
Cd the price OF "a cooking vat del
ivered TO q town In Mexico. One
inquiry. telephoned by q woman,
was as to how o. dress should be
sent 70 the inquirer's daughter I'm
France, implying that Texas fash
ions are ahead Of Partisan.
Those requests were not un-
usual. Some time ago an American
concern asked for the annual rain
tall IN Uruguay, the number Of
horses used in MonteviGeo, wheth-
er residents there threw garbage
on the streets. the type and ex-
tent OF street paving. The INQUIRER
sought to install an i~ncinerator IN
the Uruguayan town and every
question was answered as pertin-
ent to the subject.
Texas Strategic Point
The department OF commerce
contends that Texas, because OF
its geographical position, has a
strategic advantage I'm Latin-Amer-
lea, and that as the southern
markets are developed it is logical
that the industrial. manufacturing
and shipping centers of Texas will
receive the greatest benefite. II
points out that the value or pro-
ducts manufactured in Texas has
increased 1881 per cent since 1900.
Many products already being
sold In Latin-America by Texas
firms include cotton, flour, grain
and grain products, automobiles
and automotive supplies, flavorine
extracts. boots and shoes, light and
heavy hardware, drugs, rubber
products. livestock, industrial ma
chinery. barrels. steel drums, bags
building materials and many 9TH
ers. Most Of those goods are sold

TARIFF PEACE
HOOVER'SHOP
First Annual Report of
State of Union Is Ex-
pected Soon

WASHINGTON. Nov. 12-tP=
President Hoover Is giving thought
to his first annual report on the
state Of the Union which will be
made to congress three weeks
from today, or the day after the
opening Of the regular session on
December 2.
Aside from that which usually
attaches to the first regular mes
sage to congress OF q new chief
executive, interest in this one is
heightened by the bitter political
situation in the senate which has
arisen out of the tariff legislation.
What the President will have to
say on the tariff must Of neces-
sity depend largely upon the cir
cumstances at the end Of this
special session. Should the mea-
sure have failed by that time some
Of his friends would expect him
to make no further recommended
ton on the subject as this might
result in prolonging an unsettled
economic situation accompanying
general tariff revision.
On the other hand, should the
bill then be in conference Mr..
Hoover might refrain from any
other than a general statement on
the tariff. He has stated It as a
policy of his administration to re-
frain from interference by the ex-
ecutive branch into the affairs of
the legislative department of the
government.
Despite the wide spread between
the ideas Of the senate and the
House on the FORM OF tariff leg
islation, Mr.. Hoover has BY no
means abandoned hope or q bin
emerging which will square with
the republicans party's promise Of
relief TO agriculture and those in
duStries which are tagging because
OF changed conditions since the
last impost measure was written.
Fulfillment of his hope would
mean extensive compromises in
the conference between the COM
mittees Of the two Houses. but in
the past decade wide CULTS between
the bodies have been ABRIDGED both
on tariff and tax legislation.
Next 70 the tariff, the subject
carrying an appeal TO the country
Is that OF taxation, and Mr.. Hoov-
er's views on the possibilities OF
tax reductions in the near future
VIII be closely scanned. Such re-
auctions are dependent upon a
number of factors not all OF which
have vet been completely assessed.
