As Countries
Meet 10 Ease
Trade Curbs

GENEVA, Nov. q CAP).-A
four-day world conference of
trade and finance ministers
opened here today under the
Craftsmanship of Greek Trade
Minister Panayotis Pipinelis.
The meeting is sponsored by
the General Agreement on Tar
ifs and Trade to get high
level decisions on how to reduce
trade barriers amid conflicting
national and regional interests.
1t was held behind closed
doors in Geneva's Palace of
Nations. All the As member
nations or associate members
of GAIT were represented,
more than 80 Of them by a
cabinet minister.
United States Undersecre-
tary Of State for Economic At
fairs George W. Ball was ex-
pected to give the ministers a
new statement of President
Kennedy's administrations tar
riff policies.
Problems Cited
GAIT, founded in 1947, has
80 full and six associate mem
bers, including Communist Po-
land and Czechoslovakia. Here
are some of the conflicts Off
cials hope to find policies for
in the conference:
l. United States trade with
Europe.
The European Common Mar
ket has offered two-sided,
across the-board cuts of 20
per cent in tariffs, but the
United States is equipped to
deal only in smaller, item-by-
item trade negotiations.
Mr.. Ball already has come
out for freer American trade
with other countries. This is
also the program of President
Kennedy and the State De-
partment, where Mr.. Ball will
replace Chester Bowles as un-
dersecretary.
If America stands behind a
protective tariff wall, some ex-
perts believe, she stands to lose
rich European markets. If she
opens up, on the other hand,
she will have to face stiff COM
petition from European prod
ucts.
2. The underdeveloped coun-
tries trade with the industrial
lied nations.
| Europe-and also North
America-protect their own
producers of raw materials.
The developing countries can't
sell them as much copper,
steel, hides, ETC.. as they would
like and may be deeply in debt
because Of these tariff barriers.
Many of the African, Asian
and South American countries
are trying to build up their
own industry and put steep
tariffs on any incoming cars,
trucks and other machinery. So
Europe and North America
can't sell as much to them as
they'd like.
Japan Seeks Trade
3. Ira d e discrimination
against Japan.
Sixteen Gait members have
invoked Gait Article IS, an
escape clause, against freer
trade with Japan. They can
still make separate trade deals,
but the Japanese want to be in
cluded under the Gait frame
work.
The countries that use Article
35 are afraid dumping of in
expensive Japanese products
would undermine their own
industry. Several new African
nations use Article 35 against
the Japanese to protect their
own infant industries, which
might not even start with such
competition.
4. Agricultural trade.
Most countries give their
farmers subsidies in one way
or another to keep their
standard of living up. To do
this they often have to lock
out with high tariffs the farm
products of another country.
The consumer ends up by pay
ing for it.

in 1861. But the increase in
value prior to Mrs. Erickson's
death Cor, at the option of the
executors prior to the first an
niversary of her DEATH isn't
taxed by the Federal govern
ment. If the executors choose
to value Aristotle" as of the
date of sale for estate tax pur-
poses, there won't be any capi-
tai gains tax.
So there is no capital gains
tax.
However, if the executors
want to value the painting at
the date of death value, there
could be a capital gains tax
and that might save the estate
money.
The value of the Erickson
estate is not known and may
not be determined for several
years. However, the art alone
brought in almost SIS million
and it is not unreasonable to
suppose that the other prop
erty was of equal value.
If we assume the entire es-
tate was worth only SIS million
without Aristotle" then the
first 81 million of the "Aris-
totle" worth is taxed at 81 per
cent; the second 81 million at
10 per cent and the last $500, 900
at 73 per cent.
So if the executors elect to
value the painting at the date
of-death value, they will pay
25 per cent on any increase in
value between the date of death
land the sale - but they will
avoid paying around 70 per cent
estate taxes on such increase
in value.
Other Tax Angles
Two other tax beneficences:
Because museums are exempt
from city sales taxes, the sale
avoided a $4,000 city tax.
The wealthy friends of the
Metropolitan who put up the
money probably will get char
liable deductions for their gifts.

of only 8 cents each.
Here is another interesting
calculation: If Rembrandt has
his 500 florins at S
per cent interest compounded
annually. the total would be
$3.5 million - enough to per-
NIT his heirs to buy "Aristo-
tie" back and have more than
81 million left over

The sale of Rembrandt's
Aristotle Contemplating the
Bust of Homer" to the New
York Metropolitan Museum of
Art for S2.3 million involves
some amazing tax angles of in
terest to the millionaire read
erS of this column.
Here is a capsule recap of the
basic facts:
Rembrandt van Rim painted
Aristotle" in 1858 for Antonio
Ruffo, a Sicilian nobleman, for
500 florin, $1,000 today. 1t
passed through many hands
and in 1928 Joseph Duveen sold
it to Alfred w. Erickson. New
York advertising man, and his
wife for S750. 900. After the 1929
crash, the Ericksons sold it
back to Duveen for $780,
90 and, after regaining finan-
cial ascendancy in 1896, the
Ericksons bought it back for
$590,000.
Widow Holds Aristotle"
Mr.. Erickson died that year
and ownership of the paint
ing passed to his widow. She
died in February, this year.
The executors of her estate auc-
toned the painting and the
Metropolitan bought it at the
highest price ever paid for a
painting, with contributions of
trustees and other friends of
the museum. The rest of the
Erickson collection brought the
total to S4,679,250, a record for
a single collection.
With all that money chang
ing hands, it might be expected
that the government would dip
in for a share.
It won't. In fact, the sale of
the painting may cost the gov
ernment tax money.
A superficial look may in
dicate a great capital gain since
the painting cost $590,000 in
1886 and brought $2.3 million

Through their efforts and those
of their parents, relatives and

a full-time leisure time program

Seattle.
This years gross receipts from
the contest amounted to $1,6O4,
according to Gerald M. Laigo,
FYA youth director. The contest
ants receive 35 per cent of their
gross earnings, he said.
To avoid commercialization and
pressure of the entrants, no pub

the individual receipts or shares
revealed to other contest families,
Laigo pointed out.
In its fifth year, the FYA's Sea-

been copied to a certain extent
by other Filipino organizations in
the Northwest.
The FYA race enables the two
winners to represent PinOys ev-
