buttons covering these topics to in

AS sailed aboard the S. S. Presi-
dent Roosevelt from New York on
May 81, had in my pocket copy
of the reciprocal trade agreements
bill which was now on the Presi-
dents desk. I expected to be able
to show this to other delegations
at London and to use 1t to prove
to them we were sincere in our eff
forts to reduce tariffs and also had
the power to do so. I hoped that
by the time the conference was
well under way the President would
have submitted the bill to Congress
and that it would have been passed.
AS events developed I was not in q
position to bring it up except for
information.

During the trip I began a custom
followed on many similar boat
trips to and from conferences in
the following years-hard work
aboard ship. have been lucky
enough never to be seasick.
I reflected that, of the three chief
economic questions interesting the
larger nations at that moment, I
was really able to discuss only one
at London. The three were war
debts, immediate sterilization Of
currencies and reduction of trade
and tariff barriers. War debts were
ruled out completely. Sterilization
of currencies was to be discussed at
London, but only by Treasury and
Federal Reserve experts, apart from
the conference, not by the American
delegation. There still remained the
reduction Of trade barriers.
Thereupon j began receiving
aboard the steamer wireless mes
sages from Washington concerning
new legislation to raise-not lower
tariffs and impose import quotas.
and indicating that the President
would not submit the trade agree
ments bill to Congress. A week
after sailing I wirelessed the Presi-

founded that Congress will not be
asked for executive authority to
negotiate reciprocal commercial
treaties based on mutual tariff con-
cessions with right Of congressional

Judgment is that, in addition. r c
most seriously handicapping the
mission of our delegation to the
London Economic Conference, II
would be a major error to defer until
1884 any authority thus to negotiate

of the session is so full of dynamite

tariff legislation seems not only
highly inadvisable, but impossible
of achievement.
