tariffs are supposed to protect us usually turns out to be inefficient and expensive labor.
 They have learned that tariff which helps any American indus try helps all American industry because if the southern cotton planter finds a profitable overseas market he and his workers can buy more clothing from New York more refrigerators from Michigan and more beefsteak from the far west.
 The United States is the only strong champion of reasonably un- restricted trade in the world. The reciprocal trade act is the only tool we have to implement that trade program. Failure to renew it would play directly into the hands of Russia and leave the Marshall plan as a temporary expedient with no sustained policy to back it up.

U. $. Food Shipped TO France Called
 Salvation for Them
tBY Palmer HoYt. Jr.j

N0y folIHeI k1Oy1s Jtj
 France is full of gratitude for American interim aid these days, and while some of it is official gratitude, a great deal of it is spontaneous.
 The American interim aid pro- gram began Dec. IT and at that time the French government agreed to publicize United States donations. The government has lived up to its word, although of ficial gratitude has sometimes been bit slow and perhaps a bit forced. Yet this does not seem so indicative as single letter from little girl in the south of France.
 This little girl wrote a letter to American Ambassador Jefferson Caffery last month, thanking him for the almost-white bread that she and her family had on their table. She thanked him for all the family, for her father had told her that the bread was better because of shipments of American flour.
 H un d r eds of shipments of American food already have ar rived in France and have been dis tributed to the areas which need it most, Most of the grain, milk, prunes, potatoes and eggs have gone to the cities, for the French government knows that a good deal of the production of the coun- tryside never has been delivered.
 In Paris, and in other cities of France, approximately 70 per cent of the flour in every loaf of bread now comes from the United States. The French people know it, be- cause Premier Schumann and other members of the government point this out in frequent radio broadcasts. The French newspa- pers, other than the Communist papers, carry almost daily stories about interim aid.
 According to American sources here, it has been difficult to pub licize American aid to France. Un- til the war, France was always a self-sufficient nation as far as food was concerned, and it has been a great blow to the national pride to have to accept relief.
 Even after the war, there was little direct relief given this coun- try, for the French bought food where they could get it and paid with their external assets. Until the interim aid program began, there was no charity involved ex- cape for CARE and other private relief organizations. In the fall of 1944, there was supply of 208, ,000 tons of flour brought in southern France by the American army, but this was a part of American lend lease aid to France.
 As it now stands, the American interim relief that is brought into France is turned over to the

World Trade, ERP Go Hand I'm Hand
(By Lawrence Martini

WASHINGTON AND THE NATION at large are deeply absorbed in the Congressional fight to provide the Marshall plan with strong monetary muscles. An other program which, in the long run may be greater influence for peace and prosperity has received but scant attention so far.
 The reciprocal trade act will expire June 12 unless extension, requested by President Truman is ap- proved If the Marshall plan restores employment and productivity in democratic countries, the degree of prosperity those countries then may expect to enjoy will depend largely the extent they able to trade with another-and with the United States.
 If the act is extended the state department will be empowered to continue the negotiation of mutually beneficial tariff agreements with any and all nations which may wish to negotiate.
 If it is not extended tarff-making, as far United States is concerned will to be matter of give and-take bargaining Instead, U s. tariffs would be purely the basis of Congressional logrong and the lobbying efforts of special interests
 In the fourteen years since 1t first enacted. the reciprocal trade act has fallen short of the accomplish ments expected of it. But it must be remembered that economic actual shooting has been in prog ress most of the world during that time The act never has had the opportunity to function under nor map' conditions.
 In few instances the tariff reductions the state de- partment has negotiated have not been based on the realities of the world trade situation. However. the cprocal trade policy is the only ongrange hope for general economic wellbeng that this country is hold ing out to dstraut world If hope should disappear, Communism would move in unopposed

A letter from the Alaska Steamship Co. decrying the 'cus- tomary line of propaganda" of- feled by the Territory against the transportation company and asking that local friends of the company write of their satisfaction with it's service was received thls week by Gene Marian, local agent.
 Written by F. A. Zeusler, ex. ecutive assistant to the presi. dent, the letter said that he had been in Washington attending a meeting to work out a plan of operation for the company after June 30
 "As was expected the Terri torial government people pur- sued their customary line of pro paganda contrary to the best in- terests of Alaska and the trans- portation companies. Actually after they finished belaboring us there was some doubt in the| minds of some senators as tol whether we actually have any friends in the territory" Zeusler wrote.
 He said that although there are perhaps but few senators taken in by such propaganda, we are most desirous of having a considerable number of our A. laska friends express themselves Tn regard to their satisfaction with our service."'
 Mir. Marian forwarded some letters to Mir. Zeusler from local business men and others indicat- ed they would write the notes and send them.
 The letter sent to Mir. Marian was also mailed to all other A. laska agents of the company.
