purpose showing that the trade
agreements were conceived through
wilful fraud, that their failure is be-
ing veiled by a gossamer of deceit and
that their ultimate and inevitable re-
suit, national ruin, is being hidden
from the American people by beatifc
statements and not -too-skilfully jug
gled statistics.
Let us consider for a moment "the
mystery of the 20 countries; or the
State Departments secret cypher."
1t is the Spring of 1894. The House
Ways and Means Committee is con-
ducting hearing on the proposed re-
ciprocal trade agreement act. Mr..
Sayre exhibits chart on which 90
countries are designated, not by name
but by numbers. BY the side of each
is certain unnamed number of
articles for which that country is said
to be the leading source of supply.
He says the State Department de-
slres congressional authority for maxi
ing concessions to these countries and
for reducing tariffs up to so per cent
on the articles we import from them.
In return they are to cut their duties
on certain goods and raw materials
which we wish to sell in their mar
kets. Under the most-favored-n nation
agreement, a concession made to one
country is applicable to all others.
member of the committee asks Mr.
Evening star., 1937-06-16

Sayre to designate the countries by
name and to specify the articles they
produce and on which we propose to
reduce our tariff.
Mr.. Sayre declines. He will whisper
that information to a few members
OF the committee, but he will not put
it in the record. To do so would upset
the whole scheme.
Indeed, 1t would have done lust that.
The protesting blast from American
agricultural producers and industrial
lists would have had the effect of a
cyclone loosed upon the State Depart
ment.
Though the House committee con-
tinued to be mystified, Mr. Sayre's
cryptogram was solved by me through
referring to the Department Of Com
merce reports for 1881. That solu-
ton has never been denied.
Not only was it possible to write the
proper name Of every country by the
side OF its number, but it was also
possible to specify the articles on
winch tney were prepared to reduce
our tariff.
Then it was that an amazing, almost
incredible fact emerged. The State
Department was proposing nothing less
than reductions on virtually every
single manufactured article or raw
material brought into the United
States. Not one farm or factory was
to be left with existing protection
from underpaid foreign labor.
State Department Wins.
That act was passed precisely as the
State Department wished. 1t has been
in operation for three years. I shall
summarize its effects later.
Observe that the diabolical scheme
substituted for open hearings on tariff
revision results in the secret, piecemeal
bargaining by State Department

executives. Congress, in delegating It's
powers. literally sold American busi-
ness into the slavery OF European
master.
This Is no mere figure of speech
The scheme works in this manner
When trade agreement is In process
Of negotiation" the State Department
meets with foreign of1icials and bust
ness representatives, concessions are
made and then, after the agreement Is
fixed, farcical hearing is held and
American business is informed Of the
terms. Protests are OF no avail. The
agreement stands as projected.
For example A trade agreement
with Great Britain is now in process
of negotiation. Walter Runciman
until recently president of the British
Board of Trade, came to Washington
and received from the President list
OF articles on which we were ready
to reduce the tariff. British trade
experts, industrial leaders and the
Dominion premiers are now carefully
examining each item.
Unnerves U. S. Business.
Meantime, in the United States, pro-
ducers are having the filters. What
articles are on the list SO carefully
withheld from them? In what stocks
or commodities dare they invest II
tariff barriers are shortly to fall and
flood their markets with "made-in-
England" wares?
am inclined to forget for the mo-
ment "the general amelioration Of the
world situation" and remember only
the plight Of my countrymen. For
that reason: my advice to American
business is:
Obtain a copy of hearings before
the Committee on Finance, United
United States Senate, Seventy-f1fth
Congress, first session on H. J. 96.'
Turn to pages 397 and 398. There,

committee, Is the key to the sayings
OF Sayre the Sybil. There are 81
items In the list for the United King
dom on which. according to Mr..
Sayre's own testimony, we could make
reductions"
Thus was the reciprocal trade agree
ment act gestated and thus is it
nurtured. But before we pause to
estimate the results Of the last three
years and while our appetite is still
whetted for tales of mystery and in
trigue, let us consider, next, the ease

BY FRANCIS P. CARAVAN.

NEW YORK, June 16 (N.AN.A.).-
When the ordinary business man dis
covers that he has suffered heavy
losses through adhering to a particular
policy, he guards against repeating
his error.
When an extraordinarily unbusiness-
like government finds itself the victim
OF a raw deal over period of three
years, it promptly renews its COM
mltmentS, though it face bankruptcy
While the individual is concerned
with such matters as income, outgo
and profit margins, t he state cheer
fully contemplates ruin if only it may
prosecute its heaven-sent mission of
bringing peace and brotherly love to
all the world.
Renewed Despite Protests.
That, in brief, is the story of the
reciprocal trade agreement act which,
despite the protests of American pro-
ducers and manufacturers, has been
renewed by Congress for a second
period of three years beginning June IL
In remarkably naive statement
to the Senate Finance Committee
preliminary to the hearing on the
extension of the act, early this year,
Secretary of State Cordell Hull took
credit in that I'VE have helped to
divert the economic thinking and
action of the nations from search for
isolation or for narrowly selfish ex-
elusive advantage to a rebuilding of
mutually profitable trade based upon
friendliness and fair dealing"

Roosevelt.

He introduced similar measure at

tax, has this exemption.
