So far as 1t goes the trade-agreements
program applies an intelligent approach
to an exceedingly dinhcult problem. It
seeks to balance merchandise exports with
merchandise imports, rather than with i'm

administration which with one hand ap-
plies this intelligence to trade stimulation
with the other gives US for the same pur-
pose devaluation and the silver program,
whereby we balance merchanised exports
with heavy imports Of a perfectly useless

frowns on tariff lobbyists, yields to intiu-

OF WATERFRONT.
Part of Campaign for
River BeautifiCation

Fired with a desire to see Wash.

veloped commercially and beauti-
fled INTO recreational areas. the
Washington Board Of Trade yes
terday took some IS business and
professional men on a four-hour
cruise of the Capital waterways.
Leaving the Navy Yard aboard
the U. s. S. Cormorant, the party
toured the lower stretches OF the
Anacostia River. the Potomac up
to Key Bridge and then returned
to make an inspection tour OF the
Washington Channel.
REMON IN CHARGE
John A. Remon. chairman OF
the river and harbor committee Of
the Board of Trade. equipped with
a megaphone, called attention tc
the unsightly spots along the 40
mile waterfront as well as those
which have been converted into
park areas.
Declaring that his committee
will seek authorization for a Con-
gressional survey to determine
what must be done to develop the
neglected harbor for commercial
and recreational purposes, Remon
said:
1--WE know Washington will
never be a great commercial
water center and does not aspire
to such heights. For to be such
a center there must be two-way
water traffic, and Washington
Is sadly lacking in this since it
has very little to export. But it
seems a shame that adequate IA
cilities are not provided to care
for the small amount of water
trade we do have"
VALUE INCREASING
AS the party steamed into the
Georgetown area, Remon pointed
out the commercial developments
along the waterfront and declared
that the value of this property has
increased since 1906 from $17,709,-
$50 to 67,83O,O31.
Col. Robert S. Thomas, Of the
War Department, district engineer
for the Washington section, de-
scribed engineering phases Of the
contemplated improvements and
pointed out that while the upper
reaches of the Potomac consti-
tuted an important commercial
center in colonial times, with the
advent of larger ships requiring
greater depth of water, this trade
was diverted to other ports.
Elimination of the mud banks
along the seawall on the Potomac
side of Hams Point was urged by
the committee.
The tour was in charge of Lieut..
Henry FLANDERS, commander of
the U. S. S. Cormorant, and guests
included officials of the Army,
Navy, Coast Guard, and the Ma
tional Capital Park Service.
