in the Russian orbit would very
much like to do business with us.
If they could ! am sure that they
would not remain in the Russian
sphere of influence very long. But
we must make it attractive to
them to trade with US. We can't
do it if we have a tariff wall thew
cannot climb.
Right now Canada is our best
customer. They have l3 million
people and we have about l l times
as many. yet we have a tariff wall
that is supposed to protect US from
them. Somehow l don't see it.
don't see little Canada taking any
important slice of world trade
away from us. But because of last
years tariff revision, Canada had
to cut down on her imports of
American goods, the trouble being,
of course, no dollars.
An Together
We HAVE an unprecedented pros
perity now, but that doesn't mean
it's going to continue indefinitely.
We have prosperity because of
world trade. The only way we can
keep it is by making our tariff laws
work the greatest good for the
greatest number. Special interests
must be subordinated and their
privileges curtailed. The world is
going to get well all together or
not at all.
A lot of people don't seem to see
that. The other day man came
into my Office. Look" he said,
"that tariff cut is going to cut
the national income about
$l,OOO.OOO a year"
YES" said. that is true.
Since we have l47, ,OOO, 900 people
here, your share is a little less than
a penny. However. I'll make up
the difference. Here's penny" l

too much politics in it and not

That mistake is caused by the

Australia is the worlds biggest
wool producer. We are the biggest
wool consumers. We don't grow
enough for our needs, yet we have
a restrictive tariff on wool that
keeps Australia's crop out of our
market or let's it in at such a cost
to the Australians that they can't
buy our goods. A special interest
in the U. S. has been served and
the rest of the country has had to
suffer.
Taz-Asachizg Results
In 1890, when the Smoot- -Hawley
Tariff went into effect, it made
us the most heavily protected
country in the world. You know
the result. A stock-market crash
that might have been a localized
depression swept the world and
finally helped produce a war
from which we haven't recovered.
Since 1884 we have been
whiting at that tariff by re-
ciprocal-trade agreements.
These say, if you let my goods in
your country, I'll let your goods
in mine. Over period of years
we managed to get some sort of
sense into foreign trade.
Then last year when the tariffs
cameup for renewal, the Gearhardt
bill passed, stipulating that instead
of making agreements for three
years with other countries, as we
had been doing, the agreements
were made for only one year.
World businessmen, no matter
how badly they needed dollars,
were scared off. They had lost the
guarantee of a stable business.

of the automobile manufacturers
built in India to get cheap labor.
The labor was cheap enough, all
right. But after they had added
and subtracted and done few
other things they found it cost
more to produce car in India
than it did in Detroit. The
reason is that we have become
50 skilled in mass production that
no matter how cheap the labor we
compete against, we can still show
profit
We may have needed protection
back in the days when our infant
industries were just getting started,
but today we have grown to such
stature that protection of that
sort is about as much use to us as

No Dollars, No Business
lHE dollar situation is the crux
of the matter. The dollar is now
the international medium of ex-
change. If you have dollars you
are in business; without them you
must resort to barter.
If Bolivia has an item like tin
which we need, and they need
American goods and have no dol
lars, let us make it as simple as
possible for them to exchange their
tin for our goods.
Russia, of course, is in the barter
business. Some of the nations now

Among the guests was retired
Fleet Admiral William Halsey,
who earlier had told the veterans
that Congress should put a fixed
proportion of the Nations armed
forces in the Marines, thereby
giving the Corps perpetual
strength.
II believe 6 per cent Of the per
sonnel strength Of the Army, Navy
and Air Force, should be floor
ing for the Marine Corps so it
will always be of proper size"
Admiral Halsey said.
Parade on Constitution.
The Admiral spoke at a meeting

followed a Marine Corps parade

The parade was the first all

Pensions This Year
Nv the Assocjoted Pres,

DETROIT, Feb. 19.-Walte1
Reuther let it be known today that
his CIO United Auto Workers in
tends to demand a pension and
medical care program from Gen
eral Motors this year despite a
two-year contract that runs te
1850.
He made the statement at a
press conference following a UAW
conference on economic objec-
tives." The 230 delegates to the
conference, representing an esti-
mated 950,000 of the unions mil
lion members, approved the UAW's
1949 demands accenting the non
wage issues.
General Motors officials had no
comment on the UAW presidents
announcement.
Until today there had been some
doubt as to whether the Auto
Workers Union would attempt to
win pension and health and well
fare plans from General Motors.
The GIN contract, extending to
May, 1850, provides automatic
wage boosts or cuts according to
government estimates OF the cost
Of living. On the subject OF pen
sions and health plans, it provides
only for the setting up OF a joint
study committee to discuss these
issues after a final legal determ1-
nation has been made on an en-
ployer's obligation to bargain on
them.
Mr.. Reuther said the union
would seek to establish a pattern
on pensions and medical care plans
first with the Ford Motor Co., tnen
with Chrysler Corp.
AS soon as a pattern has been
set at another automotive f1rm
Mr.. Reuther asserted. we wiz
