TRADE QUESTION
NOW DISCUSSED
in WASHINGTON
NEGOTIATED BE-
TWEEN GREAT BRITAIN
AND ARGENTINA coNsID-
Erred VERY IMPORTANT
By HERBERT PLuMMER
tBy Associated Press,

Thy AH1Ocl0Ne0 FKeS81
WASHINGTON, October 27.-
The new and lower trade agree
ment negotiated between Great
Britain and Argentina has caused
economists and high government
officials in Washington to sit up
land take notice.
Great Britain's aggressive pur-
suit of foreign trade has been
watched closely in the capital for
a long time. Her latest success,
however, has brought the thing a
little too near home for comfort.
In December a Pan-American
conference is to be held in Mon
|tevideo. One of the most import
ant things en- the agenda of this
conference is a discussion of ways
and means Of obtaining better
trade agreements between the
United States and the countries of
South America.
President Roosevelt has placed
high hopes in the success of this
Pan-American gathering. His
good neighbor" policy is to re-
ceive real test. It is reported
that Secretary Hull will head the
United States delegation, so i'm
portant does the administration re-
gard the conference.
Enter, Complications
Argentina stands high on the
list of those nations with whom
the United States is anxious to OBJ
tain good trade relations. The
Argentinse have been among the
severest critics of our tariff on
agricultural products.
Now that Great Britain has gone
in and agreed to maintain pres
ent rates on selected imports from
Argentina and to admit certain
other items duty free, the situation
becomes all the more complex from
the United States point of view.
Argentina, too. made concessions.
She reduced the rates on some 800
British items and agreed to main
tain existing duties on certain
others.
While it is generally admitted
in official circles that Great Brit
ain IS off to a good start by her
treaty with Argentina, the situa-
ton Is not alarming at the pres
ent. Uncle Sam can. if he wants
to. run Johnny Bull a good race
at any time and perhaps better
one. experts say.
The big question Is, will he?
A Matter OF Bargaining
There are in progress. or soon
win be. trade negotiations be-
tween the United States and five
selected nations Of the world. They
are Argentina. Colombia. Sweden,
Portugal and Brazil.
Success in these negotiations de-
ponds on the willingness of each
to give and take. It's simply =
question Of sitting across the
table and bargaining. Trade agree
ments rarely are made at interna-
tional conferences.
OF course this involves the
evervexing question of tariff poll
cies. In the case of the United
States two ways are open. The
president can exercise his execu-
tive prerogative and enter into a
treaty with a country. subject to
ratification by the United States
senate. Or, congress can place a
limit on how far out tariff sched-

'SKIMPINC' HIT

Head of Acme Radiator Co.
Says Public Often
MiSIed.

There is considerable discussion
among the automot1ve replacement
parts men concerning certain prac-
tees of some manufacturers dur
ing the present trying conditions in
the industry. 1t is claimed that
quality of construction in some in
stances is being sacrificed for price,
with resultant inconvenience to the
motorist.
A. L. Terstegge, president of the
Acme Radiator Company, 623 North
Illinois street. who operates the
largest radiator repair shop in this
vicinity, was questioned concerning
this practice in his industry. 1T is
true" said Mr.. Terstegge, that
some of the manufacturers are
holding down on dimensions and
mechanical design in the radiator
in order to make the selling price
attractive 1t is a very unwise pro-
cedure, however, as there are GER

Perfection Firm Aids in
Campaign Against
Banditry.

An Indianapolis concern is play
ing an important part in the battle
against organized crime and banditry
in the country. Engineers of the
Perfection Windshield Company, Is
West Ninth street, in cooperation
with technical stats of one of the
large steel mills, have perfected a
bullet proof steel which is used to
line the interior of automobiles.
Police departments have been
quick to recognize the value of this
equipment as safeguard against
injury to the guardians of the law
who very often have to shoot it
out" with the outlaws. Banks and
financial institutions in towns where
there is no armored car service also
are using the cars in increasing
numbers.
According to E. G. Evans, Secre-
tary of the Perfection company, any
stock car can be equipped with the
pullet-proof glass and steel lining.
The upholstery is removed and every
inch of the interior is lined with the
bullet proof sheeting, including the
floor of the car.
Heavy multiplate glass is in
stalled, necessitating special window
lifting mechanism. Steel bound
port holes have an automatic clos
ing feature. Officials claim that
speed and ease of handling of the
car are not sacrificed by installation
of the safety glass and steel.
Several unusual orders have been
received, including the private and
official cars of several foreign
statesmen, diplomats, and men high
in public life in one or two revolu-
tion-torn countries.
