PAR[EY MAY LIFT
BARRIERS TO TRADE
IN SOUTH AMERICA
U. S. Expected to Make Bid
Later for Commerce
With Europe. e
BY HIRAM HERTELL,


NEW YORK, September 9-In the
excitement of watching the Blue Eagle
soar across the country, the forthcom-
ing Latin American Trade Conference
considered one Of the most important
diplomatic moves in recent years-haS
been almost overlooked.
International trade experts hope the
coming clinic will result in sufficient
compromises to smooth the paths of
world commerce between the United
States and many other countries.
Bolivia Comes First.
Such a result would mean that some
of the supertariff walls set up in re-
cent years, which admittedly caused
widespread economic suffering, would
be pared down. A lowering of the
tariff barriers, many tariff students say,
will gradually restore import and ex-
port volumes.
The conference with Bolivia already
is in process After the Latin Amer
ican docket is completed 1t is the in
tention to hold meetings with Scandi-
navia and later with other European
nations
Beginning at a time when Latin
American commerce is on the upgrade,
more than ordinary interest is being
focused on the trade talks. Uncle Sam
is Latin Americas best customer and
also the largest source of Latin Amer
ica's supplies. This trend, observers
say, should be still further stimulated
by breaking down certain trade barriers.
Exports Already Rising.
June exports to Latin America
showed the first upturn since the begin
ming of the depreSSiOn .IlIlv innorts
from those countries made a substantial
gain over 1882 A standard index of
Latin American commodity prices in
dicates an upward move for the last
seven months. The index now stands
at 92-using 1930-31 as 100-as against
only "a in February.
Latin American purchasing power it
is plainly indicated, is advancing, and
this fact Is viewed as significant because
an upward index of prices has usually
preceded important trade gains.
