When President Eisenhower last
summer asked the Congress to create
a commission on foreign economic
policy it was with the obvious aim of
finding ways to implement the
British slogan, trade, not aid"
With complaints here that foreign
aid is too great burden for us to
carry indefinitely. our friends across
the ocean proposed that we let other
countries sell us more goods and in
other ways earn the dollars needed
to pay for the goods they want
from us.
The Commission on Foreign Eco
nomic Policy. headed by Clar-
ence Randall, steel executive,
was accordingly created. It was
given a broad range Of topics
to study: Barriers to inter-
national trade, foreign loans and in
vestments, currency sterilization and
the like. The subject which inevi-
tably took most of the commissions
time and was the hardest to handle
was, of course, United States tariff
policy. With the basic reciprocal
trade act expiring next June, and
with the British and others watch
ing intently, the country and the
Congress have now before them the
proposal that we gradually lower
our tariffs and other barriers to
imported goods.

cred during the 20 years of the
trade agreements program. But, it
is argued. If we are ever to end for
eign aid-which has been a contin-
uous drain bn the United States tax
payer since the beginning of war
time lend-lease-we shall have to
take more foreign goods. Further
lowering our import barriers will
help to that end.
The Gimmick
A new gimmick has been offered
by the advocates of lower tariffs.
AS formulated by private citizens
committee, the Committee for Ma
tional Trade Policy, it is this:
To enterprises, communities and en-
pIoyes adversely effected BY reduction in
import restrictions Federal Government
old should be given where needed to help

which are hit or threatened with
substantial injury by increased i'm

Red China, and if Peking could
provide enough materials to sell to
Japan in return, Sino-JapaneSe
trade would only reach an esti-
mated level of $50 million each way.
This would be only 6.5 per cent Of
Japan's export trade and 3.5 per
cent of her imports on the basis OF
1853 trade figures exports of $1.24
billion and imports Of $2.O28 billion :.
Only o Mirage
The China trade issue then, seems
II be no more than rnirage-Only
4. or per cent Of Japan's for
eign trade requirements. That is
why both Japanese and American
government officials who are most
directly concerned are trying to get
the whole Japanese nation to con-
centrate on improvements which
promise to be more productive.
Japan's main difficulties are lUorld
trade bUFTierS-not the least of
which are In the United States; in
ability to meet price competition;
obsolescence OF plant: lack of pur-
chasing potCer in potential market
areas; bGckUGrdness in its own
chronological development; inability
TO make peace with potentially siz-
able markets like Indonesia. the
Philippines and Burma because Of
disagreements on repGrGtions: and
lack of substitute for its old silk
market, which was lost to American
nyLon in the postwar period.
And, Of course, in the long run.
Japan could do herself the most
good BY checking her alarming birth
rata. an extravaganza she can III
afford.

The Secretary quoted Mr.. Eisen-
hower's text that special safe
guards will be provided which will
require that commodities furnished
must be in addition to amounts
which otherwise would have been
imported, and must not displace the

States and friendly countries"
Canada being friendly country
despite occasional differences with
its big neighbor-the Administration
and Parliament here interpret those
words as q promise that TOO million
bushels of surplus United States
wheat won't be allowed to ruin the
foreign market for Canadian wheat.
The international wheat market. in
cidentally, is the only one In which
United States surpluses would inn

trade.
However, it's realized here that

Aside altogether from what the
Congress may do with the Presi-
dents proposals. there are strong
doubts here whether the United
States can effectively insulate the
SURPRISES from the ordinary chan
nels of trade.
In any event. it's agreed here. the
United States wheat surplus will
continue to hang over the market
with depressing effect, despite the
most intense American efforts to
sew 1t up tightly.

OTTAWA.-Fears that Canada's
billion-dollar wheat crop will face
disastrous competition in world
markets from surplus and subsi-
died American grain have been
allayed. but not dissipated by recent
statements of President Eisenhower.
The need to sell some 500 million
bushels of 1853 wheat abroad at fair
prices is an important factor IN the
Canadian economy. and both Ca
madam agriculture and Parliament
are worried by the existence OF even
larger stocks Of surplus United
States wheat.
Consequently. one sentence in
President Eisenhower's state-of-the-
Union message to the Congress. in
which he said American SURPRISES
must be insulated from the normal
channels of trade" got almost rapt
attention in Ottawa. There was
deep satisfaction at the Presidents
proposal to devote the SURPRISES to
special uses" such as disaster re-
lief, foreign aid and national emer-
gency.
Pending Qualification by Wash
ington, however. there was also
realization that gifts Of wheat as
foreign aid could disrupt Canadian
export sales unless the insulation
proposed by Mr.. Eisenhower was
genuinely effective.
Benson's Elaboration
Agriculture Secretary Benson's
subsequent elaboration before the
Senate Agriculture Committee, in
which he quoted passages Of Mr..
Eisenhower's forthcoming economic
message. was further balm to Ca
madam fears.
Mr.. Benson said the President will
propose q three-year plan to give

Contrary Statistics
It ia hard. however. to pin down
the fact that this really Ia the Rus
sian intention. The latest figures
offer the slimmest evidence OF a

The Rev. L. J. Harper returned
to Lucy Phillips for another year.
He was the only pastor of this con-

same church which they served
last year. A new record was set
in the conference, when Rev. Har-
per handed over to the finance
committee, a Certified check COW

stated that never before had this
been done; he had much praise for

zoning Ordinance
To Be Revised

Groundwork is being laid for a
complete revision of the Phoenix
zoning ordinance in order to cope
with changing conditions and the
rapid growth of the City. Hear
ings on the revision have been
scheduled by the Planning Com
mission for October 26, 81 and
November 1 and 5. These hearings
have made it necessary for the
Planning Director to refuse ac-
ceptance of any new applications
for rezoning after September 20.
Appeals filed before this date will
be heard at the regular meeting
of the Commission on September
20. This will be the last meeting
for both the Commission and the
Board of Adjustment until after
the new ordinance becomes effec-
tive about January 1. In the event
that matters of an emergency ma
ture should arise during this in
terim, the Board will consider call

Good Sweet Peas
Take To Trenches

Sweet peas just naturally take
to a good trench like some folks
take to apple pie.
Make the trench for your winter
sweet peas carefully, advises Har-
vey Tate, extension horticultural
ist at the University of Arizona.
Spade it at least Is to 18 inches
deep. Then, put in layer of
coarse barnyard nanure-three to
four inches deep at the bottom
of the trench. Top this with two
to three inches of soil sprinkled
with superphosphate-a handful to
each 20 feet of trench. Mix the two
layers together with a spade and
fill the trench with top soil. Wet
the trench downthoroughly. Let
it sand for about two weeks before
you plant the sweet peas.
Put in sweet peas anytime be-
tween September Is and November
IS. First, dig a little trench down
the middle of the big trench. Make
it three to four inches deep. Seed
early Towering sweet peas in the
little trench and cover them with
about half an inch of soil. Then,
lay narrow strip of burlap over
the covered seeds, and water
lightly. ! .'sa i4g
The burlap holds moisture in and
keeps the soil from crusting over.
Seedlings have a hard time coming
up through crusted soil. But, re-
member to take the burlap off as
soon as the seedlings begin pop
ping through the soil. You should
not have to water the trench again
until the sweet peas come up. I'm
less, the weather stays real hot
and winds get extremely dry.
AS the seedlings grow, add a
small amount of fertilizer to the
little trench, and push in some of
the soil along the sides of the
trench. BY doing this several times,
the sweet peas get a good, deep
root system and the little trench is
soon leveled.

union is clearly in the will of
God. 1t must come in Gods time
and by Gods methods. But it
will come"
Here are some factors which
make the proponents of unity op-
timistic, Nannse reports in Col
lier's:
1. Eighty-seven per cent of this
country's 54,229,963 Protestants
belong to the 20 largest denomi-
nations. Getting $50 church bod
les to agree to merger might be
impossible, but agreement among
20 might be great deal easier
far easier" says Methodist Bish-
op Oman, than is generally
thought"
2. The average churchgoer just
doesn't care about technical diff
ferences separating denomina-
tions.
8. Wilbur LaRoe, Jr., former
moderator of the Presbyterian
church U. S. A, says:
'eThe present momentum toward
union results from laymen appre-
ciating as they never did before
the relevance of the church to
Communism, Fascism and the
whole area of human freedom and
the dignity of man."
4. The spiritual revival sweep
ing across the country is another
agent working for union. This
revival is amazing in its monde
nominational character" says
Names in his Golfers article.
Describing the obstacles to
unity, Names says, ''The first
and most important hurdle is the
illogical. There are many Pro-
testants who, like Martin Luther,
declare, Here I stand, and re-
fuse to bulge"
Difficulties also arise from cul-
tural differences, the religious
writer states. He quotes Bishop
Oman: In the long run, our cul-
tural differences will constitute a
greater barrier than our polity or
theological differences. Cultural
ly, we are really divided"
Organic union may still lie in
the distance" concludes Casper
Names, "but there is every indi-
cation that-from the standpoint
of religion-future ages may well
regard this period as the Age of
Protestant Cooperation"

tor of the Washington, D. c. Ev-

With more and more Protestant
church groups joining in interde-

is toward unity Caspar Names
asserts in the current Golfers
(Aug. 20). To-day it's cooper

row." queries the Washington,

probably covered more denomina-
tional conferences than any other

rent close cooperation among

gree of autonomy for the men,
Der churches" the veteran relig-
ious observer says. Names, who
also describes the difficulties of
Protestant unihcation, points out
that it seems unlikely that COM
plete organic unity will occur in
the foreseeable future. Among the
signs of ending Protestant dis
unity, Names notes, is the meet
