j. s. To SEEK
ENDOF TRADE
ISOLATION
Hull Indicates Purpose of
Roosevelt Bid to Powers;
Sees Tariff Wall Doom

A%complete reversal Of the
world trend toward economic
natiOnalism is the goal of the
Roosevelt administration in
inviting foreign governments
to send representatives to
Washington for conferences
preliminary to the world Geo.
nomic conference.
Secretary of State Hull said to-
day that for IL years the world
has been pursuing the policy of
economic isolation--the United
States being one of the ring
leaders-and that the new Ad-
ministration proposes to reverse
it if possible.
End of Barriers Sought
It can be done, he believes,
through more moderate tariff
structures and demohshingI other
artificial barriers to free exchanSe
of goods between, the natiUfSS Ut
the world.
Removal of artificial restric-
tions, Hull believes, would result
in boosting world trade to between
$50, ,00O, 100000 and $50, 600, ,G00,-
900 a year, of which the American
share probably would be between
Sc, ,0OO, ,000,O0 and $4,000, ,0OO, 900.
From the enactment of the Re
publican tariff act early in the
Harding administration, the
United States has heightened
tariff barriers until they have
reached their present stature in
the Hawley-Smoot act of 1929,
said Mr.. Hull.
Others Follow Suit
Other powers have followed
suit, so that today there exist
throughout the world not only
high tariffs against American
goods, but other artificial re-
straintS against American pro-
duction, he said.
In the conferences about to
begin with representatives of the
nine nations already invited to
come to Washington, it will be
the objective of the Administers
ton to obtain general coopera-
ton in the lowering of tariff
rates and the scrapping of other
retarding factors in the world
trade situation.
Moving with a swiftness that
amazed the foreign Diplomatic
Corps in washington, President
Roosevelt today pushed his plan
of realistic action" for economic
rehabilitation of the world.
u. S. Experts Busy
Japan, China, and the So-called
ABC group in South America
Argentine, Brazil, and Chile-Were
added to the list of world powers
invited to send representatives
Great Britain. France, Italy, and
Germany already had been in
vited.
State Department experts are
working energetically on the pro.
gram. It is hoped to have the
nucleus of it ready when Premier
Ramsay Macdonald Of Great
Britain arrives.
President Roosevelt also hopes
soon to obtain from Congress the
trade-bargaining power to enable

POstOffice Business
Here Shows Increase

If postoffice business, sometimes
called a direct barometer of condi-
tions, can be taken as an indication
of how rapidly times are improving,
Redwood Falls is well on its way out
of the depression.
Figures compiled by Joseph R.
Keefe, Redwood Falls postmaster,
show that business here on letters
and postcards has been the best in
four years. Although the Christmas
rush is not yet over, in one day
alone, Tuesday, 4,764 letters were
mailed here. That figure is nearly
100 higher than the top day -four
years ago.
At noon Wednesday indications
were that the days business woulc
surpass Tuesdays by wide margin
and postal employees are anticipating
that Thursday will be the largest day
of the year. Mr.. Keefe said that
sending of packages has not come ur
to the high of four years ago but 9
big increase is apparent over the last
few years.

ALSO
NEEDS RELIEF

The state legislature, in planning
relief to citizens of Minnesota, should
not lose sight Of the fact that many
persons who now own property are
themselves among those seeking re-
lief, j. P. Mcdonnell, president of the
Minnesota Taxpayers association,
said in an address, and he pointed out
that the the taxpayers are among
those who must be considered.
"How far the legislature may fol-
low some plan of furnishing relief
for local distribution will be watched
with interest. There will be heavy
demands from many groups. Here is
where the legislature will have to use
great discernment if it hopes to de-
velop a sound system of relief"
Declaring that tax delinquency in
the state has reached the general
average of 26 per cent, he added the
chief reason people are not paying
their taxes is that they haven't the
money and therefore cannot pay them
in a normal way because government
costs have grown in an abnormal
way. So.

QUERIES ON CORN
LOANS ANSWERED

In an effort to clear up many ques-
tions on the As cent per bushel loans
to be made on corn in cribs, County
Agent Nate H. Bovee issued the fol-
lowing letter this week;
"A farmer who has corn in round
crib is eligible to a corn loan if it
has a tight roof. A farmer may put
up four poles and a shed roof CORFU
gated iron or some material which
will shed water and close up the gap
between the roof and the ground with
woven wire. The crib should be floor
ed, but if the crib is not f1oored, a
loan can be made, but the first eigh-
teen inches Of corn from the ground
up is counted out. Shelled corn is
not eligible.
Corn must be stored on the farm,
in the ear and must be grade No. A
or better.
Applications will be received in
the near future as we expect con-
firmation on nominations of sealers
already sent in"
