however, said his road was not ad-

coaches in time and said this type
coach is restricted on all Eastern
lines and has not been used at all
by the Pennsylvania for many years.
Much as we like to move vet

u. ). Calls Conference
On Tariff Reductions
To Speed World Trade
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

The United States has taken q
major step to realize its basic policy
of stimulating production and EN-.
ployment here by breaking dowr
world trade barriers and releasing
the flow of currencies, thereby build
ing large and healthy foreign COM
merce.
Invitations have been sent, the
State Department announced last
night, to IA leading commercial
countries to attend a preliminary
conference next spring on tariff re-
duction. They will lay the founda-
ton for the general International
Trade Conference early in the sum-
mer.
Countries invited to the prelim-
mary talks, which probably will be
held In Europe, are Australia, Bel
gium-Luxembourg, Brazil, Canada,
China, Cuba, Czechoslovakia,
France, Holland, India, New Zea-
land, South Africa, the Soviet Un-
ion and the United Kingdom.
Proposals Already Received.
All these nations. along with the
smaller commercial powers and ex-
cluding only Spain and Argentina,
have been sent copies of the basic
commercial proposals, drawn up by
a group of American experts and
having British agreement in sup
port.
The proposals include such funda-
mental points as a general reduction
of tariff rates, the abolition of QUO
tas and other arbitrary systems of
trade control, strict supervision OF
cartels and the dissolution of pref
erence systems such as that followed
by the British Empire.
Observers noted that the coun-
tries invited represent virtually
all shades OF foreign economic
policy, ranging from the tariff for
protection" systems of the United
States and Canada to the 100 per
cent state trading as practiced by
the Soviet Union.
British System Is Factor.
1t is expected that one of the
main points on the agenda will be
the discussion of practical, techni-
cal steps to be taken to end the
British Empires preferential sys-
tenn, and it was noted that of the
IA nations invited 5 are within
the Commonwealth.
During the recent Washington
discussions OF a $4,400, ,00o, 900 loan
to Great Britain, its representa-
tives agreed in principle to end
tariff preference within the EN-
pire. This commitment was given
further validity yesterday when the

States, on its side. is prepared to
end its special tariff arrangement
with Cuba, which was one of the
few small countries invited to the
conference.
The United States will enter the
meeting in a strong bargaining po-
Sition due to the recently passed re-
vised Reciprocal Trade Act. This
gives the administration authority
to cut tariffs as much as IS per
cent in return for similar conces-
sions from other countries. Pre-
vious legislation passed over the last
decade had limited reductions to so
per cent.
