Word Trade Charter
Ratification by u. ).
Is Urged by Clayton
By Newbold Noyes. Jr.

The International Trade Organi-
zation should prove historys great
est step toward order in interna-
tional economic affairs and it would
be "unthinkable tragedy" II the
United States failed to ratify its
charter, former Undersecretary OF
State Will L. Clayton said today.
Mr.. Clayton, who headed the
American delegation in the fight to
establish the charter at Havana,
Cuba, last winter. spoke before an
economic institute" on America
and the ITO sponsored by the
United States Chamber of Com
merce
The chamber has opposed imr,e-
diate ratification and called for
further study of the problem. Mr..
Clayton told the forum, meeting at
the Mayflower Hotel. that while the
charter is far from perfect" it is
essential, and that it will be i'm
possible to get international agree
ment on a better one If the United
States rejects it.
Sees Others Following.
IF we ratify this instrument" Mr.
Clayton said, many countries will
follow us. If we fail to ratify it.
THERE will be no ITO"
The ITO, Mr. Clayton explained,
would serve Americas "enlightened
lself-interest" by preventing return
to national policies which restrict
the free flow of international trade
America, he said, must import for
all over the world to feed its pro-
ductive machine, and must find
markets abroad for its manufactured
Isurpluses. 1t can accomplish this
only through return to multilat-
eral, nondiscriminatory world trade
Mr.. Clayton added.
Failure to ratify the Havana
agreement, Mr.. Clayton said, would
be surrender of our leadership in
world economic affairs" The result
would be chaos. with every nation
feeling it was ION its own"
Conditional Acceptance Urged.
"The United States could not long
remain an island of free enterprise
in q sea OF state-controlled trade"
he said.
Ratification OF the ITO charter
also was recommended by John Alb
blink, chairman of the McGraw-Hill
International Court. a non-govern-
mental adviser at the Havana Con-
ference.
Mr.. Abbink said the problem is
how to preserve free enterprise in
world which largely subscribes to
state-controlled economy and urged
the conditional acceptance OF the
ITO for a trial period at least" "
Other speakers at the morning
session of the institute" were Arch
N. Booth, manager of the United
States chamber, and Howard S.
Piquet, senior specialist in interna-
tional economics. Legislative Refer
ence Service. Moderator in the dis
cussion was Clem D. Johnston Of
Roanoke, Va.
Clair Wilcox, former director of
the State Departments Office of
International Trade Policy: Arthur
Besse, president of the National
Association of Wool Manufacturers;
John Lee Coulter. consulting econ
omist, and Wilbert Ward. vice pres
ident of the National City Bank of

ed in the House passed revenue bill
now before the Senate, for 2 per

among House and Senate District
leaders that the city revenue bill
would become effective next month

Faces Opposition on Floor.
Meanwhile, however, the revenue
measure faces opposition on the
Senate floor from Senator john
ston, Democrat, of South Carolina.
The combination bill for a sales
tax and a high-level income tax
may come up for action again on
the Senate floor today on a call of
the calendar. Senator Cain. Repub-
lican, OF Washington said he would
be ready to urge its passage to
meet pay raises.
In another piece of local legisla-
ton, the Francis Scott Key home,
which already has been razed from
its site upstream of Key Bridge in
the District, would be restored near
the downstream side of the bridge,
under a Senate approved bill
passed by the House and sent to
the White House. 1t would author
ize an expenditure of S65, 900 but
docs not appropriate such funds.
The bill to regulate liquor prices
here remained on the House calen-
dar today, after it had been blocked
for the second time by Representa-
tive Crawford. Republican, Of Michi-
gan. The measure called up for
action by Chairman Dirksen Of the
House District Committee. but Mr.
Crawford objected. Mr.. Dirksen
then withdrew the measure and 1t
was kept on the calendar.
Another District bill, to authorize
Government grants to private hos
pitals here not joining in the Wash
|ington Hospital Center. still is on
the House calendar awaiting action
after approval by the House Dis
trict Committee. The measure has
been opposed strongly by Repre-
sentative Abernethy. Democrat, Of
Mississippi. a member Of the House
District Committee.

Alaska Democrats, at then Ter rlIorIaI convention wnIcn closeu ln hetchIkan last Friday nlght, aaopL- ed a 2l- plank platform to guido Democratic polcIes in the Terri Iorp.

 SectOn says: Since the time is long overdue for adoption Of basic revenue measures to meet the Territory's expanding financial needs, including provision of mon- ey for schools, university, health, eers and other enlightened pro grams, we advocate passage, with out substantial change, of all the following tax bills introduced 1n the 1947 session of the legislature:
 a. A general net income tax, with allocations clauses designed to insure fair participation by out side companies doing business In Alaska, plus withholding provisions broad enough to include seasonal employees and government contrac- tors personnel.
 b. A Territorial tax on land and improvements as authorized by the Organic Act.
 c. Trade and occupation licenses on a uniform basis to supplant the present patchwork of license taxes, and to eliminate nuisance items; it eing emphatically under stood that such revenue measures are to be to the exclusion of gen. eral sales tax, for. we are unaIter- ably opposed to such sales tax, or any other device that would im- pose an unfair share of the tax burden on the permanent residents of Alaska. Furthermore, we urge that expenditures in Alaska be con trolled to allow efficiency and meet basic needs of operation.
 Section 2 asks steps be taken to secure adequate but economical water transportation" and asks el- animation of that section of the Jones Act which prevents Canadian vessels from carrying passengers between American ports.
 The platform further opposes es- tablishment of land reservations except by Congress; urges speedy settlement of aboriginal tribal claims"but with just compensation to the native people in settlement of a moral obligation"
