Hull Warns Producers
OF Tariff Dangers
By the Associated Press.

Secretary of State Hull last night
called on American businessmen te
turn this country's tremendous war.
developed productive capacity to in
dustrieS which will not call for heavy
tariff protection or subsidies when
peace comes.
In the reconversion period, Mr.
Hull said, business should 60 into
lines of production that can stand
on their own feet without such gov
ernmental aids, which he said were
ultimately damaging to the coun-
try's foreign relations.
Mr.. Hull said, in statement made
in connection with National Foreign
Trade Week, opening tomorrow, that
shifts from war to peace economies
after the last war entailed CONNER
cial blunders of discrimination and
protectionism that led eventually to
worldwide depression and second
World War.
Neither this country nor the
world could stand a repetition of the
bitter resentment among nations
- and the economic chaos which
resulted" he declared.
The United States should take the
lead, he said, toward new system
of international trade relations, a
leadership which devolves upon this
country because of its great eco
nomic strength.
"We ourselves cannot live in pos
terity and security in our own coun-
try while people in other countries
are suffering want and being driven
to despair by economic hardship"

Monetary Conference
Planned by President
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Financial delegates OF the United
Nations and associated nations will
get a chance to ponder the money
ills of the world in country club
surroundings.
A spot like Pinehurst, N. c., is the
probable location of the Interna-
tional Monetary Conference which
President Roosevelt is about to call,
according to informed quarters.
A blueprint of ideas is ready for
consideration-the agreement on
principles, including an $4,000, ,0OO,- =
600 gold-based international fund
for currency stabilization reached
by technicians of more than 80
countries and announced last
month.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau said last month that he
hoped proposals to set up a sort of
international reconstruction finance
corporation to aid in postwar re-
construction and development would
be ready for consideration.
Secretary Morgenthau and Harry
d. White. Treasury monetary ex-
pert, conferred with Mr.. Roosevelt
yesterday, and presumably the de-
cision to call the conference was
reached at that time.
