active participation in European
affairs.
The chief forum 1or disclosures
about this plan is, at the present,
the arena where the struggle over
the reciprocal trade agreements
program is taking place-for the
present, the House Ways and Means
Committee; then, the House itself
and next the Senate, where the fight
against the agreements is expected
to grow hot. After two days Of
hearings, the Ways and Means Com
mittee recessed yesterday, but will
reconvene tomorrow to get ahead
with examining the critics and the
defenders of trade agreements.
The idea is that general world
wide adoption of most-favored-
nation trading principles, with low
ering of tariffs and abolition of
commercial barriers like currency
controls, quotas and other tech
niques of trade discrimination, with
attendant opening up to have not
nations Of resources needed for their
full economic life, will remove the
strongest of the international pres
Sures which now are seats of inter-
national antagonisms.
The problem for the administra-
ton lies not in the statement of
the idea-for it has been pretty we'll
stated a number of times-but in
evolving a technique of diplomatic
negotiation which would insure its
adoption. The United States is the
only country in the world whose
Government actively pursues, in the
trade agreements, a program aimed
at complete lack of discrimination
in foreign commerce 1t is a doc
trine which may be difficult to sell,
perhaps, to European countries at
the peace conference table, where
Mr.. Roosevelt thinks it should be
presented. The White House is
working now on the diplomats
front with the Vatican and Italy.
Another Problem.
Another question confronting the
promoters of this plan is its fate in
the event of change in Federal
administration next January, as
result of November's elections. If
Mr.. Hull is the Democratic nominee
and the successful presidential can
didate, than it can be taken for
granted that he will continue to
preach the merits of the admins
tration plan in prelude to the wars
end. If Mr.. Roosevelt runs again
and is reelected, of course, he will
hold to his plan. But whether any
other Democratic candidate or a
Republican President would adopt
the Roosevelt idea is question.
The President brought attention
to the characterization trade
agreement program as factor for
a lasting peace when the war should
end, in his address to Congress
January g. The administration is
not selling the trade agreements
program simply as a benevolent
program for the world, but empha-
sizes also that it aids the American
economy. The most-favored-na-
Evening star., 1940-01-14

ton, on-discriminating policy has
been American tariff policy since
the days of George Washington.
The plan now is to sell it to the
whole world.
Sayre's Book Pointed Way.
In his book on the trade agree
ments program. The Way For
ward" published before the wars
outbreak in September, Francis
Bowes Sayre, now the High Com
missioner to the Philippines and
then Assistant Secretary of State,
points out Germany as the horrible
example of the country turning it's
back on widespread trade. Germany
under the Third Reich followed
the worlds most limited trade policy,
with insistence on bilateral agree
ments, and Germany represented
the worlds most extreme trend
toward economic self -sufficiency.
The political corollary of such self
sufficiency is the regimented state.
Mr.. Sayre was an early phraser
of the administrations trade
idealism ut is for peace loving
America he wrote, with its in
comparable natural resources, its
intelligent population, and its eco
nomic strength, to lead the way in
program of economic liberaliza-
ton and deliverance; and upon no
other policy than that of equality
OF treatment can such liberalizing
program be based. America could
not be true to her traditions and
follow any other course"
