u. 5. Warns World
That Il Can Win in
AN-0ut Trade War
BY The Associoisd Press

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Clair Will
cox, American State Department
economist, called today for lib
Grafton of world trade from
tariff and preferential restric-
tions with a warning that the
United States was in the best
position to survive the strain"
of an all-out trade war.
Mr.. Wilcox heads the United
States delegation to the United
Nations s-sponsored preparatory COM
mittee for an International Confer
ence on Trade and Employment.
He outlined American proposals for
the removal OF restrictions on inter-
national commerce.
U. S. Could Meet Strain.
IF trade of the world were to be
governed by rules the opposite of
those contained in the suggested
charter" he declared, "the United
States would deeply regret it, but
it could adapt itself to the result
ing situation: It's economy would
survive the strain.
But other nations, In this re-
spect, are less fortunately endowed
than we are. For us, the strangula-
ton of trade would necessitate
difficult readjustment, for others. it
would spell catastrophe.
Mr.. Wilcox, first Of number OF
delegation spokesmen to. state in
general terms the policies they will
pursue in the preparatory talks,
summarized the American proposals
as calling for multilateral trade
agreements. nondiscrimination.
prosperity and stability. and a code
Of conduct in international COM
merce as well as reduction of trade
barriers.
Full Employment Favored.
Further indication of the line
sterling bloc nations will pursue
came from Australian Delegate DR..
H. E. Coombs, who emphasized his
country's attitude that high level
of employment and not interna-
tional agreement to reduce tarlh
barriers was the first requisite OF
an expanding world trade.
DR.. Coombs accepted the principle
set forth at the initial conference
session by Sir Stafford Cripps, pres
ident of Britain's Board of Trade.
"If we could do our best to as
sure full employment-each In our
own country-then we could provide
a basis for a healthy and expand
ing world trade" Cripps declared
at the earlier session.
Australia participated in an en-
pire conference preceding the cur
rent talks at which agreement on
general policy to be followed was
discussed. The empire conference
decisions were not announced.

LEADERS Of All Faiths
Urge Partnership
For General Welfare
BY The As.oeiused Press

NEW YORK, Oct. l7.-Leaders OF
all faiths, in a declaration on eco
nomic justice" asked today for ian
organized and democratic part
nership for the general welfare
rather than "a competitive struggle
for individual or group advantage" ="
The eight-point declaration, signed
by 122 church leaders of the Pro-
testant, Catholic and Jewish faiths,
added that "the only alternatives to
this are competitive economic in
dividualism, private monopoly or
excessive governmental interver-
tion, all of which are unacceptable
under the moral law"
That the leaders signed the state
ment only as individuals was en-
phasized, however, in another state
ment from the Federal Council Of
the Churches Of Christ In America,
the social action department Of the
National Catholic Welfare Confer
ence and the Synagogue Council Of
America.
Eight Points Listed.
Spokesmen said the declaration
was designed to show that persons
of different faiths hold common con-
Germ in economic justice and well
being and to affirm the necessity OF
applying the moral law OF God to
concrete economic issues.
The eight points were:
l. "The moral law must govern
economic life"
2. THE material resources Of life
are intrusted to man by God for the
benefit of all. - +" The aim Of eco
nomic life should be the widest pos
sible diffusion Of productive and con-
sumptive property among the great
masses of the people. Co-operatives,
both of producers and consumers,
can effectively assist in promoting
this end"
3. The moral purpose of economic
life is social justice. . Wages
must be maintained at that level
which will most effectively con-
tribute to full employment. In many
cases, this will mean that wages
must be raised above q standard
family living wage, which is only the
minimum requirement of justice.
= Special efforts should be made
to raise the earnings of substandard
income groups, not only in justice
to them, but also in the interest of
continuing employment"
Moral Law Must Dominate.
4. The profit motive must be
subordinated to the moral law"
S. THE common good necessi-
tates the organization of men into
free associations of their own choos.

6. "Organized cooperation Of tn.

ment must be substituted for thu

to intervene in economic life when
ever necessary to protect the rights
of individuals and groups and t,

eral economic welfare"

Chang Makes New Offer
To End Civil Strife

NANKING, Oct. II (P.-Generalis-
simo Chang Kai-shek yesterday
made what observers in this capital
regarded as his "last offer" to the
Chinese Communists in the inter-
ests of halting civil war.
Outstanding was his suggestion
that a reorganization of China's
government be discussed.
Behind the offer was an apparent
attempt by Gen. George C.Marshall,
special American envoy, sNd Anbas-
sador John Leighton StuArt to make
one final effort toward breaking the
deadlock prevailing since mid
summer.
Communist headquarters in Nam
king would not comment on the
offer, made by Gen. Chang in one
of his rare public statements. The
authoritative Communist comment
must come from Shanghai, where
Gen. Chou En-lai, chief Communist
negotiator, is being, urged by third
party representatives to resume
peace talks, or from Yenan, North
China capital of the Communists.
Gen. Chiang's offer followed an
hour-long conference with Gen.
Marshall and DR.. Stuart.
