wounded by bomb splinter eight

camp, Ozanne added She was re-
ported wounded in the shoulder by
bomb splinter in an Allied air
raid on the area August 26, 1914.

brothel which was in the camp for
use of German civil prisoners there.
The women of the bordello, who
were mainly Russians and Poles,
nursed her. She died about three
days after being wounded"

Mr.. Wallace said that was a very
important question, but pointed out
that, "if we are twice as efficient as
the British in most lines of manu-
facture, they might have to work
longer hours to compete at all"
The Secretary later explained that
conditions vary so in different
countries, depending on the degree
of their advance from primitive
methods, that it becomes a subject
that should be studied by the eco
nomic branch of the world or
ganization.
In a prepared statement which
opened his testimony, Mr.. Wallace
said lower tariffs will promote pri-
vate trading and reduce the need
for Government Intervention in
domestic affairs after the war.
Gives Three Reasons.
Mr.. Wallace gave three major rea-
sons for passage of the bill, which
would allow the State Department
to make agreements with other ma
tions, reducing tariff rates up to SO
per cent of the January, 1945, levels.
They were:
First, I believe the Trade Agree
ments Act is Of vital Importance to
the country, especially at this time,
as a tool for creating postwar jobs
through expansion of foreign trade.
Second, I. feel that the lowering
OF trade values so as to permit a
maximum of freedom in private
trading is the surest way to dis
courage greater Government par
ticipation in foreign trade, and to
combat isolationist tendencies which
lead to increased Government inter-
vention in domestic economies, be-
cause Of the shortages, surpluses and
other dislocations that follow.
Third, am of the opinion that
trade agreements, with their pro-
visions for the elimination of dis
elimination and the expansion of
reciprocal trade, reduce interna-
tional economic friction and create
an atmosphere Of goodwill conducive
to the maintenance Of friendly re-
lations."
