CUBA TO PROPOSE
TRUCE ON TARIFFS
AT TRADE FARLEY
Pan-American Meeting Here
Expected to Decide Scope
of Power to Act Today.

A two-year tariff truce will be pro-
posed by the Cuban delegation to the
American Commercial Conference
which convened here today with Il
American republics in attendance.
The proposal will be presented at to-
morrowB plenary session. The draft
says one OF the principal causes OF the
economic crisis affecting the American
republics is high duties and a marked
tendency to go on increasing them.
Word OF the Cuban plan conceded
with Mexico City dispatches saying the
Mexican delegation would attempt to
form an anti-American tariff bloc
among the South and Central American
groups.
Silas H. Strawn, president Of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, told the 500 delegates at the
opening session of the conference in the
colorful Hall of the Americas that adop-
ton by the Southern republics of the
American flexible tariff policy would 60
long way toward bringing order out
of chaos in the world tariff situation.
Would Call Halt on Increases.
Secretary Lamont, chairman of the
American delegation, stressed the need
of expanding the gross volume of in
ternational trade rather than attempts
to balance commerce between any two
countries.
During the two-year truce proposed
by the Cubans the nations signing the
agreement would not increase their
duties. Their proposal also sought the
creation of a pan-American economic
organization to study the question and
propose possible remedies as promptly
as possible.
The amount Of time devoted to tariff
discussions this week may be measured
by the handling of the Cuban proposal
in favor of which the FL Salvador dele
cation withdrew a similar plan it had
announced it would submit.
Final decision was expected TODAY

RAIL AND PIPE LINE
PROJECTS ARE SEEN
Entry Of Carriers Into New
Field Not Prohibited
by Law.
BY CHAS. P. SHAEFFER,

Entry of the railroads of this country
into the pipe line field of activity IL
one possible development that would &C.
casion no surpris. in Capital circles.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has said such a procedure would be lega.
under any of the acts it is called upon
to administer. The propriety of such
action, it explained, would be contin-
gent on the provisions set forth In the
carriers charters, all Of which, with
but a few exceptions, have been issued
by the various States.
Any factual statements written about
the railroads nowadays carries with II
a painful lack of enthusiasm. Glass
l roads in 1880 operated at the lowest
gross revenue since the war. while the
net was the lowest since 1920 The
latest reporting statistics for 81 class
carriers, issued for April, shows net
operating income 35 per cent less than
the same month last year, which, IN
turn. was 80 per cent below April of
the peak year of 1929.
The continuing downward trend oil
revenue freight loadings, with their
weekly decrease of more than 100000
cars, as compared with. last years to-
tails, becomes even more significant
when it is realized that 1905 figures
were recorded as being unfavorable.
The strain of competition has been
exceedingly acute in the past 10 years.
The long haul motor trucks have made
serious inroads into the carriers
freight business, while waterways and
coastal and intercoastal shipping have
also taken a relatively heavy toll. But
in the past two years the pipe lines
have come rapidly to the front as a
competitor. In this period several of
the large oil companies have produced
and transported their crude products
through the medium of their own pipe
lines, thus eliminating a source Of rev.
enue to the carriers that they could
ill-afford to lose.
Some carriers. it IS understood. have
given considerable thought to the propo-
sition. and one powerful Eastern road,
the Pennsylvania, is maintaining an
open mind on the matter.
Elisha Lee, vice president OF the
Pennsylvania. said whether pipe lines
can be effectively co-ordinated with rail
service, similarly to highway, air and
water transport, is a question for the
future. Personally. 1 see no inherent
reason why it should not be considered.
1t is at least a possibility that the
railroads may feel a strong moral obli-
cation to enter the field for the pro-
lection of refinerieS located on their
lines. I think an open mind should
be kept on this question"
The Nations roads are in agreement
that but two main remedies present
themselves in their immediate predica-
ment, these being either increased rates
or decreased wages-with a wide di-
vergence of opinion as to the prac-
ticability of either recourse at present.

DEGREES LEGAL SECRECY
IN INDUSTRIAL CENSUS

Provisions of the national census law
which surround with secrecy certain
types Of information gathered in the
Federal census of manufacture are
costing American industry millions of
dollars each year through wasted sales
effort, declares Norman H. Schoch,
New York, member of the COMMITTED.
on Domestic Marketing Problems of
the National Industrial Advertisers
Association. He claims that barriers
raised by the law are hampering Of
f1cials of the United States Department
Of Commerce in their efforts to help
industry solve its marketing problems.
An important item of Information
developed in the census, but guarded
carefully as a secret, is a list of ex-
ecutives and companies engaged in
active industrial production in the
United States. Publication of the list
in the form Of a directory of manufac-
turers by the Department of Com
merce, said the engineer would aid in
the preparation Of market analyses
based on accurate knowledge of those
companies and localities in which de-
mand for the various types of indus
trial products center. But publication
of the directory would be violation
of the law as it stands at present.
