It's the peak Of spring and
the start OF the big tourist
trek, It's also the start OF the
biggest challenge the United
States tourist ever has posed TO
the strength OF his own pre-
cious dollar.
All the barometers of tour
ism - passport applications
and renewals, reservations on
ships and airlines - indicate
that this will be q record year.
BY 1858 end. it's likely that
more than 1873 million Ameri-
cans will have been abroad
against ll,940,000 last year.
They'll spend an all-time high
$2.5 billion. The number OF
tourists going abroad Cexclud-
ing Canada and MexicoO we'll
may exceed two million COM
pared with / 1.750, 900 in 1862.
AS a result, the tourist gap"
- the difference between what
American tourists spend abroad
and what foreign tourists spend
here will be the greatest on
record.
In 1862, a total of $4,000
foreigners visited us and spent
around Sill billion. This left a
tourist gap against us Of $l.4
billion. up from under $l.2 bill
lion in 1861. The way the trav-
ell rush is shaping up. that $l.4
billion record is going to be
shattered - and this is dis
tinctly bad news.
Dollar Gap Expanding
OF course, travel abroad is
fine for the individuals con-
cerned and the countries they
visit. Americans spend huge
amounts of dollars while travel
ing. which the countries in turn
can spend here and elsewhere
Our tourist dollars are impor-
tant to the economies of many
nations which have only limited
capacities to earn dollars In
other ways.
But 1928 $l.4 billion tourist
gap contributed nightly to last
years $2.2 billion deficit in our
balance OF payments and the
persistent deficits in our inter-
national accounts are a CON-
slant threat to the dollars

Chamber OF Commerce at the
Statler- Hilton Hotel, Mr.. Herter
said some elements in Western
Europe's Common Market are
proposing, by contrast, a more
complex formula for varying
percentage reductions.
According to this formula. he
said, the Europeans want in
duStrialized countries to estab-
lish uniform targets for tariffs
on raw materials. semi-manu-
factures and manufactured pro-
ducts.
Cut In Negotiations
Then, in negotiations next
year, the industrialized coun-
tries would reduce tariffs by
half the difference between
their present levels and the
targets.
For example, the target might
be set at 10 per cent. A SO
per cent tariff would be re-
duced halfway to the 10 per
cent target, or by 20 percentage
points. This would amount to
q 40 per cent reduction.
A 20 per cent tariff would
be reduced by 5 percentage
points, amounting to a cut OF
only IS per cent.
BY requiring larger reduc-
tions in higher tariffs, Mr..
Herter said, this formula would
produce inequitable effects. He
said the value Of q tariff re-
duction depends on what vol
ume of trade is released by
lowering the duty. and this has
to be examined for each par
ticular case.
The United States, Mr..
Herter said, wants the negotia-
tors to adopt a linear formula
for cutting tariffs. Each coun-
try would reduce almost all its
tariffs by an agreed percent
age.
II the negotiators agreed on
a so per cent cut. for example,
a present tariff Of so per cent
would be reduced to Is per
cent and a 20 per cent tariff
would decline to 10 per cent.

Kennedy's special representa-
tive for trade negotiations. said

Capt. Bradley campaigned
fUr reelection on the premise
that Mr.. Gleason, executive
wee president, was much too
militant as chief negotiator in
last winters 34-day lila strike.
Mr.. Glea son, a longshore-
man since 1915, said in an ac-
ceptance speech, THE plat
form is to expand our union.
We've got to find a place for
the men that will be laid off
by automation."
Capt. Bradley said of his new
post, There's no sense in tell
ing you I'm happy, because I'm
not.
you have seen that I'll be
well provided for, which I have
always tried to do for men
who are out of work or too old

team, that worked. We had
our differences but we kept
them in our office"
