AGENCY MERGERS
BEING CONSIDERED
Slash in Appropriations in
Next Fiscal Year May
Curb New Deal Plans.


Mergers OF some OF the New Deals
emergency agencies were reported un-
der consideration last night in antici-
patton Of reduced appropriations after
next June 80.
While some quarters forecast an at
tempt to have Congress place some Of
the bureaus on a permanent basis In
the next session, others insisted such
plans would be deferred until 1897.
Rexford G. Tugwell, resettlement
administrator, whose agency was
mentioned by some as one for which
a permanent status was desired, said
yesterday he knew of no plan to ask
the next Congress for a special appro-
priation as a permanent agency.
He also said he did not know where
funds would be found to continue the
agency's work after next June. Its
authority extends to June 30, 1887.
but its 1921. 100000 allotment from
the work relief fund is for the fiscal
year ending next June 30.
Tugwelrs statement was seen by
some as an indication that the Reset
tlement Administration would be con-
tinued at least temporarily as an
emergency agency. financed from
whatever relief appropriation is made
by the next Congress.
Any earmarking Of the new relief
fund. these sources believed, would be
done on Capitol Hill and not by the
administration or any Of the new
agencies.
Whether all agencies would be
financed from the relief fund or from
budget appropriations, oficials would
not say, but it was reported authorita-
lively that efforts would be made to
prevent the question of creating new
permanent bureaus from reaching the
floor during the impending session.
Financing the present emergency
agencies from a new and greatly re-
duced relief appropriation. it was said,
would mean a drastic shrinkage in
their activities next Summer and Fall
before the presidential election.
Tugwell's statement was believed to
strengthen a prediction by Resettle-
raent Administration officials several
weeks ago that the organization prob
ably would be merged with the Agri-
cultural Department within q year or
is months.

PEEK SEES TRADE
POLICY AS ISSUE
Arch Foe of Treaties Set Up
by New Deal Says Public
Interest Keen.
By the Associated Press

ey the Associated Press.
A prediction that the administra-
tion's foreign trade policies would ex-
plode into major issue in the 1895
campaign was made yesterday by
George N. Peek.
The arch foe of the New Deals re-
ciprocal treaties ventured his forecast
in an interview as he sat in spacious
Offices he has rented-out Of his own
pocket-to direct a campaign to get
this question out in the open where
the people can look at it,"
Peek, one-time special foreign trade
adviser to President Roosevelt, re-
signed December 2 as president OF the
Export Import Bank because he was
"out of sympathy with the whole gen.
eral foreign trade policy"
Public Interest Held Keen.
He reported that great public in
tereSt" had been aroused, and reiter-
ated his intention Of carrying on his
fight against the reciprocal trade pro-
gram until Congress has repealed or
amended the law so as to retain the
power of veto over presidentially ne
sotiated agreements.
Invitations to speak on the new
Canadian american treaty, Peek said,
have come from agricultural groups in
Montana, Colorado and Arizona.
Civic groups in New York, Massachu-
setts, Pennsylvania, Florida and Illinois
also have asked him to speak.
These invitations" Peek said, puff
fing heavily on stubby cigar, show
that people want to know about this
thing. However, we are only getting
started in our work and I will have
to turn down many of the invitations
to speak in the near future"
He declined to predict what action
Congress might take at the coming
session, but said many members had
asked for copies of his analysis of the
Canadian agreement, in which he says
agriculture is being asked Ito take the
rap"
Party Plank Questioned.
Nor would Peek say whether he
thought the Republican party would
adopt plank calling for repeal Of
the reciprocal trade law. The Amer
lean Liberty League proposed last
week that it be amended to give Con-
gress veto power.
Peek termed the New Deal trade
law Subtle device" for a general
lowering of the tariff He favors ne
gotiation Of trade agreements with
individual nations without any
changes in tariff rates.
Two assistants who were with him
In the Export Import Bank have been
retained by Peek, along with two Of
nee girls, to help him supply inter-
ested individuals and organizations
with his studies and data on the trade
agreements.
He said yesterday great number"
OF people had written for informa-
tion. These inquiries, he said, came
from both agricultural and industrial
sources.
In response to questions, Peek said
he Would continue to finance his own
campaign until such a time "as I
have to call on my friends" He added
he has not had to do this yet.
