TRADE BARRIERS
ARE HIT BY SAYRE
Assistant Secretary o.
State Makes Plea for
Liberal Policies.
~ the Associated Press.


FRENCH LICK, Ind, May IA
Liberal trade policies are the cure for
tho worlds economic health and sanity,
Francis B. Sayre, Assistant Secretary
Of State, said in an address today at
the Bankers Association for Foreign
Trade
Den0unceS Discrimination.
Economic nationalism must be
resisted," said Sayre. Trade bar
riers must be reduced; discrimination
practices must cease"
Prefacing discussion Of the Ameri-
can trade agreements program, the
Assistant Secretary said:
mo peace machinery, however per-
fectly devised, can operate with sue
cess among nations which are eco
nomically at war. Hostile commercial
policies make retaliation inevitable
and thus sow the seed of resentment
and ill-will. The economic isolation
which they engender inevitably creates
unemployment, falling living stand
ards, and widespread economic un-
rest. Economic poverty and distress
are fertile breeding grounds for ma
tional policies of aggression. If we
would have peace We must cultivate
the soil for it through the pursuit of
economic policies which make for
fr1endliness and higher standards OF
living"
Reciprocal Trade Pacts.
6ayre said the United States for
nearly three years has been following
Z program involving the negotiation
Of trade agreements based upon the
reciprocal and mutually advantageous
reduction Of trade barriers and upon
the firm principle that neither party
shall henceforth discriminate against
the others trade"
In conclusion, Sayre observed that
"there are many significant indica-
tions in the field of international COM
mercial relations Of growing trend
toward activities which are nberaliz-
Ing and constructive, rather than re-
strictive and destructive"

been reported as far as eight miles
above the limits of New York City.
Since the blacks and the grays fight
viciously. the zoo is not inclined to
repeat the experiment of establishing
a black colony. The gray squirrels
which roam the park by hundreds are.
after all, attractive enough by them
selves. Visitors are forbidden to feed
the exhibition animals. for the sake of
their digestions: but there is no regu-
lation against feeding the squirrels.
Many child is willing to deny itself

at the sound of a peanut shell being
crushed. a scampering squirrel will
stop dead in its tracks. After an in
quisitive inspection of the neighbor-
hood, it usually runs up for handout.
With patience - and plentiful
supply OF peanuts or acorns - even
wild gray squirrels can be tanned. Food
placed in certain spot every day will
get them accustomed to looking for it.
and then it is only matter Of getting
them used to human presence. In a
very short time they will creep close
enough to take nuts from ones hand
if no sudden. abrupt motions are
made.
A squirrels capacity for eating and
storing food is almost unlimited. His
greed is matched only by the tiny
chipmunk's. S. A visitor once determined
to see how much chipmunk would
carry away and bury. and came to the
park one morning with pound and
half of shelled peanuts. At the end
of the day the peanuts were gone, but
the chipmunk was still begging. The
visitor gave up the experiment.
