ways opposed tariff protection
for American industry"
The Republican leader assert
CO it was particularly unfortun-
ate that the Venezuelan treaty
comes at time when indus
try anil labor are cooperating
in determined effort to rehabi-
late West Nirpinia's coal indus
try and to provide gainful en-
pioyment for thousands of our
citizens" He said it was a "crucl
anomoly" hat the gates arc
CpcErd wide to Venezuelan oil
at the very moment that orr
own oil production is curtailcd
and proratcd in the interest Of
conservation in order To keep
production in line with consumer
demand.
Indeed" he said AT The worry
hour this treaty was signed the
New Deal itself, through an
other of its agencies, was de-
handing federal control of the
oil industry in order that its
bureaucratic might further re-
gulate and control production
and distribution of petroleum.
81 do not believe that West
Virginia will suffer this blow in
silence" Mr.. Hallanan coptipu-.
ed. Every man and woman with
the best interests Of this state
at heart ought Immediately to
register their protests with
Washington. However, the one
and only certain. way to guaran-
tee that this state and its en-
terpriscs shall not continue to be
the target of free trade and all
other destructive policies of the
Roosevelt administration is to
vote the New Deal out of power.
The trend of public thought as
demonstrated in elections thru
out the country this week ind-
cate with certainty t h the
American people are determined
to do this in November of next
year"

The reciprocal trad Z treaty
which Secretary Hull has just
signed with Ncnnneula. rcduc-
ing the excise tax on oil imports
to this country by fifty per cent
was declared by Walter s. Ilalla
nan, Republican national commit
tccman to be Il staggering
blow to West Virginia"
Pointing out that existing oil
imports already displacc ten to
twelve million tons of bitumin-
Gus coal, thus taking twelve to
fifteen million dollars from the
pay envelopes OF West Virginia
miners, Mr.. lIallanan said i'm a
statement today that operation
of the new treaty would t a k g
many more mi lions from the
miners, coal operators, rail
roads and other West Virginia
business and labor.
This treaty" said the ma
tional committee man, PUTS
America in direct competition
with Venezuela, where labor is
paid an average 20 cents per
day He added that the tenden-
cy of free trade, as excmplified
by the Hull reciprocal treatier
had bee to destroy the American
standard of living and to re-
duce it to competition with the
pauper leevl OF Europe ad Asia
With some irony, Mr.. Halla-
nan observed t h a "the only
consolation that the American
pcop'e get through this agree
mcnt is that the tariff on import
ed orchids is bound against in
crease and Venezuela goat
manure can continue to etcr ouI
ports free Of charge"
The national committeeman
asserted that when the treaty
becomes fully operative it will
be "as destructive and paralyZ-
ing to the coal industry as wert
similar treaties with European
nations were to our glass and
pottery industries"
M. HaIlaran pointed out that
the treaty had been negotiated
and siged i defiance Of the unit
ed anil unanimous protest" OF
both labor and industry. He salG
the coal operators, independent
oil producers, the United Mine
Workers Of America, other la

bars to unfair competition from

Mr.. la 'lanan said this treaty
could never have been made "ex-
