.0'Brien Bill Asks
Free Trade With
Latin America
Times stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May l. - Free
trade between the United States
and Latin-American countries, ex-
cept as to agricultural products
subject to domestic restriction, is
the goal of a bill introduced in the
House by Rep. George D. O'Brien
of Detroit.
Creation of customs union for
the Western Hemisphere was pro-
posed by the Michigan member as
a beginning.
1.-THE adoption Of such a pol
ley" Representative O Brien said
in introducing the bill, SHOULD
in time eliminate the tariff bar
riers which now exist, so that
eventually all barriers to trade
would be removed and manufac-
tured goods and raw products
move as freely as they do now
among the several states. Such
an economic union or customs
union provide a strong security
= for the political and economic
freedom of all American nations.
IL recognize that such pro-
gram would result In hardship
in some instances, but this would
be many times compensated by
the resultant security and gen.
eral prosperity of the Western
Hemisphere"
Restricted agricultural crops
would be protected under the
O'Brien proposal by quota sys-
tenn which would similarly restrict
competing imports to quantities
approved by the President and
Congress. The free trade program
would be worked out on
a reciprocal basis.

MOON, May Prompt
settlement of Anglo-Mexican diff
ferences over Mexican oil lands is
expected as a result of negotia-
tons now going on in London and
Mexico City, a reliable Mexican
source said today
Probabilities are, 1t was said,
that Mexico will pay indemnity
for confiscation of British-owned
oil properties. The amount, so far
unspecified, will be paid in Ameri-
can dollars, thereby providing
Britain with much-needed funds
for purchases in the United States.
1t is believed that these nego-
tiations will lead to a resumption
of diplomatic relations between
London and Mexico City, as sever
ance grew out of the trouble over
oil.
This Mexican source in. London
said:
"An almost incongruous sit
uatiOn has arisen. Mexican ties
with the United States are be-
ing frightened and eemented
every day; likewise American
bonds with Britain daily are be-
coming more solid.
1.-THE logical conclusion to
such train OF events Is rap
prOchement between Mexico and
Britain. Negotiations which now
are In progress unquestionably
are aimed in that direction"
This informant said he under
stood that Josephus S. Daniels,
United States ambassador in
Mexico City, is taking part in the
Anglo-Mexican discussions in the
position of friendly adviser and
arbiter for both sides.

ENDANGERS DEMOCRACY

This denial endangers our de-.
mOcracy. 1t is the same type of
thing that Hitler does In Ger
many, the tactics of destroying
all opposition.
There is but one thing TO do.
That Is to protest. The Ameri-
can people must realize the
power they hold through their
right TO protest by letter to the
President. to their senators and
congressman"
Landon said he has not Joined
any peace organization because he
wants to maintain his freedom.
This Is not our war" he con-
tinued ~ believed that during
the 1910 campaign. and nothing
has happened to make me change
my belief. l will speak out at
every opportunity against war.
WORKS FOR PEACE
81 have preserved my own
freedom of action by staying out
of all peace organizations. 1 am
interested in the purely AmerI-
can problem of staying out of
the war. Too often organizations
that start out with a single pur-
pose branch off into other activi-
ties. 1 will work with peace
organizations, but 1 will do IL
independently"
He said he did not want to ieif
any organization which might al
a future date attempt TO bring
about a negotiated peace between
England and Germany.
URGES PEACE GROUPS JOIN
Landon said he believed ar
amalgamation of peace groups II
America would be a good thing
but he said Il haven't been in
touch with the workings of the
peace organizations and don't
know whether anything has beer
done to bring the different group,
and leaders together"
He said:
1T would be highly desirable
to bring these groups together,
but In some instances the groups
and leaders have divergent in
terests.
II don't know how widely
separated they are on questions
other than peace, and have no
way OF knowing whether 1t
would be possible for them to
resolve their other differences
and unite for peace"

signed from the Army Air Corps

criticized his peace stand.
These attacks. Landon said, are
a menace to American democracy
"A radical group" he said,
that once was the first to yelp

is attempting to deny the right

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Retail trade
attained peak levels this week as
buyers rushed to make purchases
before the new Federal taxes on a
wide variety of goods became efec-
tive on Wednesday, Dun & Brad
street said today in the weekly re-
view Of business.
THE wave of beat the tax buying
carried sales to Christmas levels
while gains over a year ago were
among the widest recorded" the
agency said Consumer interest
first centered upon items subject to
the retail tax but shortly spread
to merchandise affected by manu-
featuring lines and eventually de-
veloped into a general buying rush.
Weather that was more seasonal
contributed to volume gains by
Spurring demand for fall goods,
particularly mems topcoats and
heavier furnishings.
"Pre-taX buying was conspicuous
in cosmetics, cameras, furs, jewelry
liquor and sporting goods lines
Sales volumes over four and five
times as large as those of a year
ago were reported frequently"
The agency estimated the gains
over a year ago for the country as
whole was from % to 33 per cent,
one of the best advances of the year.
In the major regions the percentage
gain over 1910 was: New England
% TO 50, South, 28 TO 50; Southwest,
25 to 30; Middle West, 20 to IS;
Northwest, 18 to %; East, 25 to 80,
and Pacific Coast, 80 to 35.
Wholesale market activity was
rather slow, the report found. Re-
tailers showed a tendency to curtail
forward buying. Slow deliveries and
difficulty in obtaining goods likewise
restricted turnover.
