Three-year extension of the Re-
ciprocal Trade Agreements Act gave
the green light today to Secretary
of State Hull's plans for a far
reaching program of trade develop
ment to reinforce principles that he
believes must be the basis for stable
peace after the European war.
The Senate completed congress
sional action on the extension meas
ure yesterday, approving it by vote
OF AZ to 81 after defeating a dozen
restrictive amendments which ad-
ministration leaders contended
would cripple the system of bargain
ing down tariffs reciprocally and
impair its value as an instrument for
world peace.
The long fight in Congress left the
policy a controversial issue in the
forthcoming presidential campaign,
however and stirred fresh specula-
tion about Secretary Hull's chances
OF being the Democratic standard
bearer.
Under the measure awaiting Presi-
dent Roosevelt's signature, authority
Tor the Chief Executive to enter into
agreements with foreign countries
for reciprocal reduction of tariff
rates is extended until June IL, 1943.
A so per cent limit is set on the
amount tariffs may be lowered or
raised.
Bill Opposed by Republicans.
All OF the 20 Republicans pres
ent in the Senate yesterday voted
against extension of the act, their
leaders making it clear that the
country would hear much more of
their opposition between now and
the November election.
Some observers believed final ap-
proval of the measure would en-
nance Secretary Hull's chances of
winning the Democratic presidential
nomination. while others thought
division within the party on the is
sue would injure his prospects.
Fifteen Democrats, mostly from the
West, voted against Senate passage.
The major triumph for Secretary
Hull and President Roosevelt left
behind at least tactical defeat for
Vice President Garner, a contender
for the 1910 presidential nominal
non. Mr.. Garner was active behind
the scenes in support of an amend
ment to limit extension of the act
to one year. The amendment was
defeated, 46 to "a, after President
Roosevelt denounced it as against
the best interests of the country.
Hull Halls Approval.
Secretary Hull hailed final appro-
val of the trade program, the cor
nerstone of his foreign policy, as
aftording profound satisfaction" to
all those who appraised the pro-
gram from the standpoint OF our
best national interest" He said its
principles must prevail at the end
OF present hostilities "if our ma
tion and other nations are to have
stable peace and satisfactory eco
nomic progress"
The Secretary and his associates
In the State Department felt that
ending of the long battle in Con-
gress left their hands free to deal
with the extraordinary commercial
situations created by the war in Eu-
rope. Some changes in existing
trade agreements with Great Britain
and France, in particular, may be
necessary to Offset the effect of
allied restriction on purchase of
some items on which their tariff
reductions had been the basis of
some reciprocal concessions granted

Farm Inspection
For Stub Cotton
Now Under Way

The Division of Pink Bollworm
Control OF the U. S. Department
of Agriculture has announced that
al, of their inspectors have been
busily engaged in the inspection
of all farms throughout the cotton
growing sections of Arizona for
the purpose of assisting farmers
to understand the AAA regulations
which require the destruction of
all stub cotton not later than mid
night of May 10th, 1910. The Divi-
sion of Pink Bo'lworm Control is
especially anxious for all farmers
to have their fields free from stub
cotton by the time of the final in
spection which will begin on May
18th, 1910. A few farmers have
been interviewed who did not
know that stub cotton growing in
grain fie ds, alfalfa fields, on turn
rows, ditch banks and in planted
cotton fields would be classed as
stub cotton and if not destroyed
by May 10th, 1910. would result in
penalties. In a big majority OF
cases only a small amount of labor
Won d be required to cut out the
random plants being found in some
fields. 1t is essential that every
farmer throughly inspect his fields
prior to May 10th and remove all
stub cotton.
The Division of Pink Bollworm
Control and the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration both are
very anxious for every farmer to
cooperate one hundred per cent
because, by doing so, he will not
on'y be assisting in the eradica-
tion of the pink bollworm but will
avoid the penalty for non-compli-
ance with regulations.
If any farmer is in doubt as to
stub cotton destruction require
ments he should contact any
of the following inspectors: d. H.
Currie Mesa, Arizona; A. B. Bea-
vers, Glendale, Arizona; c. w.
Jackson, Litchfield Park, Arizona;
G. F. McLain, Coolidge, Arizona;
or the County Agents office, the
AAA office, any of the AAA Coun-
ty Committeeman or the Division
of Pink Bollworm Control office,
located at 418 Security Building
in Phoenix, phone 4-4O62.
According to reports of all in
spectors farmers are giving ex-
cellent cooperation to date.
