Roosevelt Signs Order
Freeing War Goods
From Customs Levies
Agricultural Supplies .
Believed Included in
Scope of Measure
BY BLAIR BQLLES.

President Roosevelt today signed
an executive order formulating the
administrations practice Of import
ing duty-free critical and strategic
war materials, such as copper from
Chile, aluminium, zinc and lead from
Canada and tungsten from Bolivia,
Argentina and Mexico.
Although the order did not men,
ton them specifically, it was believed
that agricultural supplies were in
cluded within the scope Of the order.
The Secretary Of Agriculture was
one OF those empowered to waive
the duties. The others were the
Secretaries Of War and Treasury,
and the Reconstruction Finance
Corp.
Federal Loan Administrator Jones,
whose agency requested the order,
explained that it was ridiculous for
the Government to have to pay duty
on materials vital to the war effort.
He said that by bookkeeping ar
rangement the Government had
been avoiding customs payments for
several months.
The order partly realizes one Of
the purposes announced by Mr..
Roosevelt December % for the joint
war production committees of United
States and Canada, which said:
Legislative and administrative
barriers, including tariffs, import
duties, customs and other regula-
tions or restrictions of any char
acter which prohibit, prevent, delay
or otherwise impede the free flow of
necessary munitions and war sup
plies between the two countries,
should be suspended or otherwise
eliminated for the duration of the
war"
For Helium Production.
Mr.. Roosevelt also issued today an
executive order authorizing the Sec
retary Of the Interior to acquire
property needed in the Interior De-
partment's project for developing
helium production for war pur-
poses. The department has a helium
monopoly, since the gas is essential
for lighter r-than-air craft.
The President said his authority
for tariff-waiving order lay in the
First War Powers Act of 194l, as
well as In the Constitution and his
position as Commander in Chief Of
the Army and Navy.
Tariff Concessions Extended.
The State Department meanwhile.
announced that the President had
directed the Treasury to extend tariff
