ject to valuation advances may best be
shown by an illustration. Formerly,
if the invoice value of a given vege-
table we're 5 cents per pound, and II
the valuation advance applicable were
3 cents per pound. the charge would
have been 80 per cent on 8 cents plus
a dumping duty of cents. making a
total of 5.4 cents per pound. Here
after, the valuation advance, if sup
piled at all, may not exceed "a cents
per pound (four-fifths of the former
cents) and the duty in that case
will be Is per cent of IA cents (name-
ly. IL cents) plus "a cents, or total
of 3.5 cents per pound as against the
former total of 54 cents, charge Of
35 per cent less than before"
After concluding, the President an
swered questions which came from all
sections of the crowded room.
The first related to the assurance
given by Canada to permit her citizens
visiting the United States to bring
back S100 in merchandise free of duty.
He said this meant sl00 a month.
For the most part, the President
answered the questions himself. but
occasionally he turned to the experts.
Wallace often shot out the reply.
Mr.. Roosevelt thought the agree
ment would increase customs collec-
tions through increased trade. but
when asked about congressional
"sniping," foresaw the possibility of
many bills in Congress directed at
specific items of the pact.
He added quickly that if any un-
fairness developed. he was very conf
dent Of changing them by mutual
agreement.
The unusual Sunday afternoon con-
ference which emphasized the impor-
tance placed on the treaty by the Chief
Executive lasted just over an hour.

TREATY IS HAILED

Manufacturers See Larger
Trade, While Grange Is
Disappointed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 18-James
D. Mooney. president of the American
Manufacturers Export Association,
last night predicted steadily growing
two-way trade as a result of the new
American-C Canadian trade treaty.
Leaders in lines directly affected by
the agreement were for the most part
satisfied with the lower tariffs on first
examination.
There is not the slightest doubt
that it will stimulate trade between
the two nations, said Mooney. IF
we broaden the base for trade. even
the people who think they will be hurt
will benefit along with the rest of us.
The statement OF President Roose-
welt that the pact may double trade
between Canada and the United States
within year or two Is sound"
Textile Group Pleased.
Francis S. Bruyn. president of the
Textile Export Association of the
United States, said the textile manu-
facturers should be surprised and
pleased at tariff reductions on their
products.
G. Harrison Smith, president of I'm
perial Oil, Ltd, Toronto, said he did
not believe the new trade basis for
oil and oil products would effect any
material change in the present situ-
alton with the exception of lubricating
oils. He stressed, however, that con-
ceSsions by both nations should prove
mutually profitable.
Several leaders in the Wall Street
financial district were guarded in their
comment. The consensus predicted
expanding trade as a result of the
agreement.
Authorities on trade between the
United States and Latin America be-
lieved there would be no conflict in
that quarter as result of the Ameri-
cam Canadian arrangement.

The new agreement will probably

director of the Distilled Spirits 1nsti-
tute, since that's about as cheap now

Doran said, "the new agreement offers
adequate protection"

But many domestic distillers feel,
Doran added, that the new duty may
be IAN entering wedge" giving Cana
dian producers, with large stocks of
aged whisky, an unfair commercial
advantage" in prestige" The Cana
dians will be able to claim a large part
of the aged whisky market, he ex-
planned, until American producers are
able to build up their stock of aged
liquor.
Letting Scotch and Irish whisky in
under the duty will not have serious
effect, Doran believes, since after
all's said and done, the native Amer
