For World Trade Peace.

While the European powers are
moving on the grand scale to tighten
up the machinery of peace in the
political and military realms, the
United States is accelerating its ef-
forts to promote trade peace through
out the world and incidentally to
expand the market for American
goods. The basic purpose of the pro-
gram upon which Secretary Hull has
energetically embarked is to induce
the trading nations. under a system
of mutual concessions, to abolish fac
tors which make for economic war.
such as high tariff barriers, exchange
controls, import quotas and other re-
strictions now strangling international
commerce.
In signing with Brazil the first regu-
lar reciprocal treaty consummated
under the United States new policy,
Secretary Hull expresses the belief
that it will break the log jam of
world trade" and "cast a broad beam
of light and hope into the existing
economic darkness The pact with
the Amazon republic is an ideal speci-
men of reciprocity. It clips twenty
five per cent off the Brazilian tariff
on sixty-Seven American products. In
return, the United States reduces
tariffs on seven Brazilian products
and keeps on the free list Brazil's
principal export item, coffee, together
with eleven other commodities. There
are, in addition, correlated arrange
mentS for regularizing Brazil's' finan-
cial obligations in this country.
The State Department is now
negotiating fifteen similar reciprocal
treaties with Latin-A American and
European countries. Preliminary dis
cussions are under way with several
others. Secretary Hull reminds COM
mittees Of Congress that nationalism
is rampant everywhere-an almost
incorrigible determination upon the
part of governments and their busi-
ness people to do all of the taking and
none of the giving. Such tendencies
are not unknown in the United States
when tariff making and tariff bargain
ing are under way.
The Hull reciprocity program is a
declaration of war on that kind of
economic selfishness and isolation. 1t
is notice to the world that Uncle Sam
is ready to do business on the fifty fifty
basis with all comers. To promote
progress in that direction, there is now
under consideration a plan to send
abroad, as trade missionaries, outStand-
ing American business leaders, who
presumably will not only explore op-
portunities for widening the market
for our wares, but also preach the
reciprocity gospel They will be
within their legitimate rights, too, if
they emphasize Americas ability and
purpose to withhold most-favored-
nation privileges from countries which
insist upon maintaining discriminatory
practices against the trade of the
United States. The State Depart
ment's Trade Agreements Committee
is now compiling a list of such gov
ernments.
America has hoisted the banner of
world trade peace. 1t is now for those
to rally around it, who will.

There are marriages that apparent ly haven't worked, and once the surface is torn away, human frail- ties stand out like spectres in the graveyard of hope. The drama is as human as life itself and provides intensely interesting entertainment.
