World Trade Policies
Enlightened Restoration

By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 21-Henry F..
Grady. Assistant Secretary of state,
asserted last night that the United
States neutrality increases our re-
sponsibility for timely leadership"
In the direction Of enlightened
commercial policies"
The fact that war, the natural
outgrowth Of economic nationalism,
was not averted demonstrates the
desperate need in the world for the
general adoption of such policies" {"
he told the Chicago World Trade
Conference.
"One Of the important issues in
the future course of human events
VIII be the question whether or not
the nations will agree to seek eco.
nomic restoration through interna-
tlonal economic cooperation. This
is IN large part a question of inter-
national trade policy"
Factor Of Dictatorship.
General economic nationalism, he
averred, would mean that nations
would normally function on a basis
OF economic control such as that
usually associated with war.
Indeed a number OF countries
were practically doing so even before
the outbreak Of hostiities last Sep.
temberI Under such controls de-
mocracy would necessarily give way
to dictatorship"
BY the Inauguration of its trade
agreements program in 1884, Mr..
Grady continued, the United States
assumed a leadership in the direc-
tion OF restoring normal interna-
tional trade relations.
Since 1894 according to a re-
cent world economic survey of the
League of Nations, the most impor-
tant attempt to liberalize trade has
oeen undertaken by the United
states in the prosecution of its pro-
gram OF trade agreements
We must keep the trade agree
ments program in the fullest possible
operation as an essential aid in the
future task of craftsmanship. .
Our role in the economic reconstruct
ton OF the world is to continue to
provide leadership by maintaining
and furthering the basic principles
embodied in that program"
Trade Harmony Held Basic.
Economic nationalism" WAS
blamed for trade ills by another
speaker Eugene P. Thomas of New
York, president of the National For
eign Trade Council, who said in his
prepared paper:
Until the trading policies of the
totalitarian nations are brought into
harmony with those of the free
nations, they cannot expect assist
ance from other nations in their
efforts to defend their currencies
and maintain their legitimate
