WALES LAUDS

LONDON, May 81. U.P) - The
Prince of Wales and the new Unit
ed States ambassador, Robert w.
Bingham, Joined in heralding the
end of America IS policy of isolation
in speeches at a pilgrim S society
dinner last night.
Speaking publicly for the first
time since his arrival in England,
Bingham said the United States
was prepared to lower tariffs and
join in political cooperation with
other nations.
Toasting Bingham, the Prince of
Wales said:
81 believe that in the midst of
this great catastrophe, Americans
realize with us that under the
economic system now existing no
country can prosper in isolation.
The difficulties through which we
are passing are showing us cur de-
pendence on others. If the present
suffering has the effect of bring
ing home to us the evils of econo-
mic naturalization it will be a
blessing in disguise. -
Bingham said:
Americans have learned the
fallacy of the belief that the high
er the tariff, the higher wages and
the general level of prosperity of
country would be. They have
learned how impossible it is to con-
tinue selling when they do not buy.
They are at least prepared through
proper agreements to lower tariff
barriers. -

RISE |NEXPORTS
DUE|N THEORY

NEW YORK, April 81 U.N.S).
The effect of a gold embargo on
the trade of the United States is
a matter of conjecture at the
moment. Theoretically, the ex-
port business of this country
should be benefited.
The exports of this country
should show some rise, since the
dollar has become CHI Raper in the
terms of foreign" currencies,
thereby allowing American-made
products to compete with the
more cheaply manufactured prod
uctS Of European and other ma
tions.
Imports of this country, how
ever, may be sharply curtailed,
since foreign currencies have in
turn become dearer in terms of
dollars.
Exports, for example, are fig
ured on the basis $3.50 for the
pound. That is, a British pound
will be able to purchase $3.50
worth of American merchandise
compared with only $3.40 several
days ago. Similarly 100 French
francs viii buy nearly SIS worth
of U. s. goods against only $500
several days ago.
Imports to the United States
will be faced with a situation ex-
actly in the reverse of the export.
A shipper to this country will sud-
denly find that the product he
formerly sold on the basis Of So. 40
for the pound will now have to sell
it for nearer 1910 in order to
make a profit. and the benefits
which countries with deprecated
currencies derived therefrom will
be eliminated.

PATIO ALTO. Cal, April 81
G.N.SO The glow of l.ealth has
come back to former President
Herbert Hoover, now man OF
leisure making his plans from
day to day.
Sunshine, exercise, and free"
dom from care have brought
back ruddy glow to his cheeks
and a sparkle to his eyes,
glow and a sparkle markedly
missing when he arrived at his
home here following his ardu.
Gus and unsuccessful campaign
for reelection.
The former President refuses
to discuss the day when he will
take up active work again-if he
ever does.

however, is that he will devote
himself to writing-probably an
account of his life, particularly
his political experimentation
