German machines.
Before we reached the troop car

then dived vertically, f1attening out

OF a portion of this area on

an aggregate length of $500 feet
in a distance of 5000 feet along
the strike. The average width Of
the ore body is 5h feet, but
at the east end a zone of dis
seminated ore 430 feet in length
averages 1914 feet in width. All
the ore will need concentra-
ton, as the estimated average
content of chromite is paproxi-

no high-grade metallurgical ore
Is to be expected, it is clear
from this study of a small part

large tonnage of submarginaI

Grady La,lds
Trade Pact
Program
War Shows Need
For Continuance,
He Tells Forum

Our country has prospered under
the Administrations reciprocal trade
agreements program and the need
for continuing the program is great
er than ever, in view of the war
In Europe, Assistant Secretary Of
State Henry r. Grady said last
night.
Mr.. Grady spoke on the forum
at the Woman's Club Of Chevy
Chase, sponsored by its Interna-
tional Relations Committee, Of
which Mrs. Laurence Manley is
chairman. More than 200 persons
attended.
"Our trade and industry cannot,
Of course, escape the effects of war" ,"
Mr.. Grady declared. However, in
encouraging and strengthening nor
NAL trade relations, trade agree
ments will tend to minimize the
economic dislocations resulting from
war conditions. Furthermore, no
approach to a satisfactory and per-
manent peace after the war has
ended can be made without regard
to the economic factors which gov
ern relations Of countries to each
other"
Mr.. Grady warned that opponents
may despair Of attempting to kill
the program outright and seek to
cripple it by having the act amended
IN such q way as to make the pro-
gram Intellectual.
The State Department of{icial de-
nounced Americas earlier tariff pol
Icy and declared: 1T is hard to
imagine any legislation less thought
out, less planned, less purposeful
or more chaotic than the Hawley-
Smoot tariff"
1t was generally recognized by
1888, he said, that excessive protec-
tionism had been in large measure
responsible for the worldwide eco
nomic collapse and that America S
tariff was In need Of downward ad-
justments.
Under the reciprocal trade agree
ments, he contended, not only have
our foreign markets been expanded
but, owing to the increased employ
ment which growing export trade
gives to our workers and industries,
the domestic market also has be-
come more active.
Taking part in the panel discus
sion following Mr.. Grady's talk were
Francis J. Clair Of the National
Grange, Frank r. Eldridge of the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, Mrs, M. o. Lorenz, pres
ident of the Voteless District League
of Women Voters and DR.. Caroline
F. Ware of the American University
faculty. DR.. Leifur Magnusson, for
merly director of the Washington
branch of the International Labor
ONCE, was the chairman.
