Hemisphere Trade
To Be Set Up Soon
Johnston, c. Of c. Head,
Back From Air Trip
To South America
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS.

| Back from a flying trip to South
America, Eric A. Johnston, president
| of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, today was making
plans to set up the secretariat of
the United States Commission for
Inter American Development, of
which he is chairman.
Headquarters for this new body.
of which the parent organization is
the Inter American Development
Commission will be in the Office of
the United States Chamber of Com
merce, but it will have its own per-
sonnet and operate as a separate
unit.
Mr.. Johnston arrived late yesCer-
day. He will confer soon with Mel
son Rockefeller, co-ordinator of in
ter-American affairs, who heads the
Inter-American Development Com
mission, and will report to President
Roosevelt at the White House To-
day he was in conference with ma
tional chamber officials
Spirit of Private Enterprise.
Mr.. Johnston said he found
throughout the Latin American
countries, where he conferred with
both governmental and business
leaders, strong spirit of private
enterprise. He said interests in
these countries were eager TO CO.
operate with North American bust
ness, but somewhat fearful of the
present influence of the Government
over private business.
He said he had treasured South
Americans that while North Ameri-
can business will go far in Coop
Grating with Government during the
war, the spirit of free enterprise
here still is strong and will be ready
to assert its rights more vigorously
after the war.
Tremendous supplies of natural
resources in South America i'm
pressed him with the possibilities of
trade in the future through i'm
IL
methods of distribution. he said
The ter-American Development
Commission is only one of the II
national organizations of private
business already set up throughout
Latin America. Co operating
through the commission. they will be
prepared to handle international
trade problems on the spot
Objective Of New Setup.
The objective OF the whole new
setup. Mr.. Johnston explained, is to
raise through characterization and
trade the mass purchasing power OF
the people of all the Americas.
One of the aims of the United
States commission will be to act as
a clearing house for information
regarding investment opportunities
in South America.
Throughout his trip. Mr.. Johnston
said he was received cordially. The
/ Latin Americans were receptive to
| the aims and purposes of the Inter
! American Development Commission
/ he said. He conferred with the
/ leaders of the national commissions
/ in Brazil Uruguay. Argentina,
/ Chile, Peru. Colombia and Panama
Accompanying Mr.. Johnston were
William c. Machold assistant to
/ the co-ordinator of inter- American
affairs, and two officials Of the
Chamber OF Commerce, Joyce
