prove it if let alone.
Democratic Senator Wagner

even though it was filibuStered
into innocuous desuetude, he
keeps it pending and ready for
debate in case an opening
appears.
Borah hailed Wagner in the

Mutual congratulations ensued
over the fact there hasn't been

PROBE IN DISPUTE
Some Democratic leaders not on
the committee also were hostile to
that feature of the measure. They
want President Roosevelt to make
the investigation through the De.
partment of Justice, FTC and the
SEC with funds provided by Con.
gress.
Republican leaders insisted that
either Congress or the executive
branch make the investigation, but
operate in a joint venture. Let
the Presidents agents make the
investigation and submit recon-
mendations; then Congress car
decide what to do with the recon
mendationS, one member of the
Judiciary Committee advised.
President Roosevelt, in his spe
cial message to Congress on the
trend toward concentration Of
economic power, made no mention
of Justice, FTC, SEC and Other
agencies of the Government whose
duties touch the problem.

Negotiations for the Anglo-Ameri-
can accord have been going on with
. special British delegation here since
the end of March. The United States
presented list Of about 400 products
on which she would consider tariff re-
ductions. The British presented .
similar list.
Argument ON Concessions.
British traders at first were inclined
to argue that since Britain bought
from the United States more than two
and half times what this country
bought from her, the United States
should make the major concessions.
American negotiators, however, had at
hand balance sheet showing that in
clusion Of the colonies and dominions
and so-called invisible items, such as
shipping and freight rates, tourist ex-
penditures, immigrant remittances, in
surance, interest and dividends, re-
suited in a practically even balance
and that If United States imports of
gold from South Africa were included.
the balance was some $414, 4,0OO, 900 in
favor of the British commonwealth.
With the forthcoming conclusion Of
the agreement, the United States will
have more than half its foreign trade

between them by means of tariff re-
ductions.
The two nations, including their
possessions, carry on 40 per cent OF
all foreign trade. The United King
dom accounts for about 10.6 per cent
of the whole worlds exports and 1872
per cent Of imports; the United States
1or lit per cent Of the exports and
l1.2 per cent Of the imports.
Britain Best Customer.
What it means to the United States
may be seen in the fact that the
United Kingdom is our best customer.
In 1887 she bought from us practically
as much as we sold to Germany,
France, the Netherlands, Belgium and
Sweden combined.
Total British purchases Of American
goods in 1887 were $535 ,000, 900, which
is 5000. 100000 more than we sold to
all OF South America.
Officials believe the agreement will
lead to similar arrangements with the
British dominions. A pact revising
the one concluded in 1896 Will be
signed with Canada about the same
time the one with the United Kingdom
Is signed. Exploratory discussions
have been held with Australia, New
