WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. The really sweeping cuts that have been made in the tariff walls by the trade agreement acts are dis closed now in studies made by various agencies in preparation for the expected battle over whether the trade agreement program shall be continued.
 In recent years the United States has imported about $1,800,- 100000 in goods of all kinds. Of these about s1,244,0OO,0O0 are sub ject to duties ranging from virtu- ally nothing to more than 100 per cent in special items. Of these im- ports, the trade agreements have affected about one-third, both in varieties of imports and in gen. eral value. There are approxi- mately 5000 dutiable import items of which more than HOO have been affected by the trade agree ments.
 The total value of imported goods coming under the influence of the trade agreement program is about $518,00O,0Oo. It is around this segment of the nations im- ports that the big fight will be waged.

Nation Expected 10 Move Forward on Reduced
 Rati0ns for Year

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Presi- dent Roosevelt completed the broad outlines of his Congressional pro- gram today by sending the Con- gress a sharply trimmed financial budget and specifying in his budget message that S460,000000 of emer- gency National defense eXpendi- lures should be offset by special taxes.
 The President forecast the net deficit for the next fiscal year be- ginning July l at one billion, seven hundred and sixteen million dol lars as against three billion, nine hundred and thirty three million dollars for the current year end ing June 30
 The reduced budget means, the President said, that the Govern ment is prepared to move forward on reduced rations and any fur ther cuts will result in undue hard ships on individuals and economic groups"
 The total expenses next year, in- cluding one billion, eight hundred thousand dollars for defense expen- ditures, is put at eight billion, four hundred and twenty-four million dollars, or six hundred and seventy five million dollars less than this year.
 The net receipts, aside from So- cial Security taxes, is estimated at five billion, five hundred and forty-eight million dollars, an in- crease of three hundred and eighty two million dollars over this year, which the President said will re- suit from better business.

MINERAL OUTPUT OF ALASKA SINCE 1880 IS ESTIMATED AT
 ABOVE 8 HUNDRED MILLION

the most significant products of Alaska mines in 1899 were coal, sil- yer, lead, limerock, tin, antimony and a small amount of copper.
 General Conditions
 The estimated value of the min eral production of Alaska. as stat ed, reflects the generally excellent condition of the industry in 1889 It seems. however, to mark no unu sual spurt of activity, but only to reflect a normal stage that is not likely to decline greatly in the near future, but that may well be ex- ceeded as some of the operations already in progress come into pro duction.
 Prices for most of the mineral commodities from Alaska mines av- eraged somewhat higher in 1889 than in 1888. The increase in prices in the world market for such me- tals as tin, lead, and antimony, brought about by wars in foreign lands, did not occur until late in the year, and for a large part of 1939 the prices were even lower than in 1888. Consequently, the av- craze prices for 1889 were not much above those that prevailed in the preceding year. The price of silver, which qualified under the Gov ernment's special arrangement for purchase, was raised on July l from 64.64 cents to 71.11 cents an ounce, and on the assumption that all of the silver from Alaska mines was eligible for such purchase it's price has been computed at the mean of these two figures, or 67S7 cents. Silver which did not so

 Tariff, Expected 10 Be Hoi

order to win corresponding conces- sions in other countries for our exports. The cuts have ranged from trifling two or three percent to the full 50 percent limit.
 On the s51S,OoOooO worth of goods affected by the agreements, the total duty under the old rates was S29l 100000 Trade agree ment concessions reduced this to $179, 100000, a cut of more than one-third.
 The apove figures indicate that the average of the old tariff on the one- third of goods affected by the trade agreements was 56 per- cent. These old rates for the most part were set by the Smoot-Haw- ley act. The trade agreements act, coming in 1884, four years later, has cut this tariff rate down to 34 percent average.
 Of course these are blanket av- erages. The individual cuts ranges up and down from that. Here is a sample. Agricultural items of- fected by the trade agreements act paid an average 30 percent under the old rates, and have been cut to Is percent under the new. That is a cut of 12 points. or about 40 percent.
 Not all these cuts were made in any one trade agreement. In each agreement special reductions were made to obtain desired concessions from the other party. However,

The minerals produced from Al aska mines in 1889 had an esti- mated value of SPA, ,888, GOO, accord ing to a preliminary statement of the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior. This amount brings the total value of the mineral output of Alaska since 1880 to more than S8O0,000, 900.
 Although the year 1889 set few new records of production, the re- suits as a whole were good and encourage belief in the continuing high rate of output of minerals from the Territory.
 As compared with 1938 there seems to have been a decrease in 1889 of approximately S3,700,000 in the value of the total production of minerals The record for 1888, however, was exceedingly high, hav- ing been surpassed in only three years during the entire period that mining has been in progress in Alaska. Furthermore, none of the great copper mines, which in 1888 produced copper to the value of nearly $3,O0o,oOo, were in oper- ation.
 Production High
 The value Of gold produced by Alaska mines in 1889 exceeded in value that for any other year in Alaska history with the single ex- ception of 1888
 The continued large output of platinum metals from Alaska mines is a source of special national sig nificance, as it goes far toward making the United States indepen- dent of foreign supplies.
 In addition to gold and platinum,

Gov. Jones Urges U. 5. Pay
Entire Pensions Cost
BY the Associated Press,

BATON ROUGE, La, May 21.-
Louisiana's new chief executive, who
defeated the late Huey Longs po-
litical machine, proposes that the
Federal Government share the
wealth" by bearing the entire cost
of equal old-age pensions the Ma
ton over.
Gov. Sam H. Jones asked the
State Legislature last night to me-
morialize Congress to assume the
entire burden of maximum $30-a-
month pension for needy aged.
The Governor said poorer States
were handicapped under the pres
ent system in which the Government
matches State funds dollar for dol
lar.
Economically this Nation op-
crates as a unit" he said. 1--WE of
the South have paid our toll and
tribute to Wall Street, and we are
still paying it. If wealth must be
centered in one section of the Ma
ton, then let the burden Of financ-
ing the legitimate governmental ac-
tivities of the whole Nation likewise
be so centered."
Gov. Jones also outlined his plans
for tearing apart the Long dictator
ship and asked for broad State in
vestigations similar to the Federal
inquiry into Louisiana political
scandals"
He proposed repeal Of one "dic-
tator" law permitting the Governor

Reynolds Proposes Curb
On Aliens in Industry
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Sharp curbs on the employment of
aliens in American industry were
proposed yesterday by Senator Reyn-
olds, Democrat, Of North Carolina.
Under his suggestion, the number
of aliens employed in each business
operating in interstate commerce
would be limited to 10 per cent of
the total workers employed.
Senator Reynolds made the pro-
posal in the form of an amendment
to pending legislation, submitted by
the Senate Civil Liberties Commit
tee, to prohibit use Of labor spies,
"strikebreakers" and industrial mu-
nitions" such a. tear gas and ma
chine guns, in interstate industry.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive. Of
Wisconsin, chairman of the Civil
Liberties Committee, said he would
make no objection to the Reynolds
amendment, but Senate action was
deferred when Majority Leader
Barkley and Senator Wagner, Dem
ocrat, of New York protested that
no provision was made for the alien
who had filed q declaration Of in
tention to become q citizen.

a Democratic victory at the polls
next November. 1t has made the
denomination Of President Roose-
velt more nkely-although the Presi-
dent has not yet spoken the last
word on this subject. The President
has seized the preparedness ball and
run with it. It is an issue which
the New Dealers figure will surely
win for Mr.. Roosevelt II he be the
party nominee. 1t might Just as
well win for Mr.. Hull.
No one can tell from day to day
with certainty what the situation is
going to be in Europe when the
election takes place in November
nor, for that matter, the situation in
the United States. There is the
possibility that matters will be less
chaotic. and that the wave of hys-
terra which has been sweeping this
country since the German advance
into the Low Countries and France
began will subside. That is what
the Republicans hope. In the mean
time, they regard with concern the
defeatist attitude accepted in re-
cent days by many of their own
group.
Republican presidential candi-
dates are continuing their drives
for delegates to the Republican Ma
tlonal Convention. In some quarters
1t is felt that the serious war situa-
ton in Europe has lessened the
chances Of 38-year-old Thomas E.
Dewey, New York's racket busting
district attorney. That is not the
feeling Of Mr.. Dewey and his cam
paign managers, however. He con-
tinues to have an amazing popular
support.
Improves Vandenberg's Chances.
II the war has injured the chances
OF Mr.. Dewey, 1t has improved
those OF Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan, on account of his wide
experience in foreign affairs as a
member of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee. 1t is true that
Mr.. Vandenberg voted against the
repeal of the arms embargo last
fall when the neutrality act was re-
vised, and that he has been re-
garded as a strong isolationist. He
mas, however, come out strongly for
increased national defense.
Fifty-year-old Senator Taft of
Ohio is away at present speaking
in a group Of Middle West States.
His managers continue to insist that
he will enter the national conven-
tion with the largest bloc of dele
gates The war news has crowded
the activities Of the presidential
aspirants of the front page-except
when they mention the war and
foreign affairs.
Senator Byrd of Virginia is sit
ting on the top of the world in
Virginia Democratic politics. No
one has filed against him for the
senatorial nomination. Apparently
no one was willing to tackle him
in a primary fight. Mr.. Byrd has
been one of the most persistent
Democratic critics of the New Deal.
Two days before the close of en-
tries for the Senate race, he de-
ivered a speech bitterly critical of
some OF the New Deal laws and ad-
ministration Incidentally, Senator
Byrd, along with Senator Glass, will
head the Virginia delegation to the
Democratic National Convention.
Virginia is one Southern State which
has not jumped on the Roosevelt
third-term band wagon, failing to in
struct its delegates to vote for the
President. They may do so, but 1t
will be with reluctance on the part
of some of them.
