Text of Hull Economic Parley Speech

through exchanges. The home market
was to be kept separate from the world
market and prices bearing no relation
t. those of other countries would be
fixed arbitrarily within each nation.
Has not the time come for govern
ments to cease erecting trade barriers,
with their exceSses, rank Determinations
and hate-breeding reprisals and retalia-
tions?
Honest intelligence now compels the
admission that nations are substan-
TALLY interrelated and interdependent
III an economic sense. with the result
that international cooperation today is
fundamental necessity. The opposing
policy of self-containment has demon
strated its inability either to avoid or
arrest or cure the most destroying de-
preston in all the annals of business.
This conference should proclaim that
economic nationalism as imposed upon
the various nations is discredited pol
icy; and from those who insist that the
world should continue in this discredited
policy the conference must turn aside.
Many measures indispensable to full and
satisfactory business recovery are be-
yond the powers of individual States.
The extreme difficulty is manifest of one
nation by itself undertaking largely to
reduce its tariffs or to remove exchange
restrictions or to stabilize its exchange
and currency or to restore the inter-
national financial credit and trade
structure.

The petition declares that Father
Coughlin is student of world affairs,

LONDON. June 14.-The vast prob
lem of wheat is entering into the vital
discussions of the World Economic Con-
ference.
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of
the British exchequer, told the confer
ence today the United Kingdom was
prepared to cooperate IN regulating
wheat supplies.
Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss Of Aus
tria, an importing nation, stressed the
difficulties in the way of reducing du-
ties and urged the only solution was
regulation of production and exporta-
ton by the exporting countries. He
said if this were achieved the import
ing countries could lower their tariffs.
His majesty's government" declared
Chamberlain, will be prepared to CO.
operate in regulation of wheat supplies
and the supplies Of other foodstuffs on
the part Of the principal food-exporting
countries with view to restoring and
maintaining a reasonable level of prices"
Chancellor Dollfuss said: THE ex-
porting countries complain the import
ing countries hinder importation OF
wheat by means of high duties. quotas
and milling regulations. However, II
the importing countries were to lower
their duties on wheat, the exporting
states would not get penny more Tor
their wheat than they otherwise do.
On the other hand, the prices IN the
importing countries would fall"
The conference here of the great
wheat exporting nations-Canada, AUS
tralia, the Argentine and the United
States-is temporarily at standstin
pending a report from subcommittee
which is studying the problem OF cut
ting wheat acreage with view to
limiting the output and raising the
price. Australia has already signified
her opposition to such step.

 The bills are broad in scope. No attempt is made to say what the new set-up shah be.
