Analyst anil Commentator WASHINGTON. Despite the spirited battle over extenf the rec iprocal trade agreement authority, nothing which even its best friends could hope to do about it would be definitive, for everyone knew from the start that final action must be postponed until next year. sion Keeil rural trade agreements have been a definite part of our foreign traie policy f r 14 years. If they were of any value In the past, they are cf even more value now. But with an election a little more than four month off and congress trying to break a log Jam of legislation, lengthy dibate on the subject was Impossible. Iutt.ng it backwards, the reap-riia- l trade agreement policy is this: If a country is prevented by a high tariff wall from selling to us. it cant get the dollars to buy from us. Or, if the country has borrowed money from us, it can't get the dollars to pay us back. i d Thats what rj? , t in bringing I h J on hap-pene- World and the after War I. break- down in foreign trade was one of the great factors depression. Cut that isn't the only thing that tariff walls do. They tend to force extreme nationalism isolationism, on a country and behind the tariff of State Corwalls, as dell Hull used to say so often, grow the roots of war. losive the UMW chief planted tins time was a demand that the operators first guarantee welfare aid for distressed miners before they can expect his union ta sign a r.ew contract. Thus, the "Lewis situation in the United States was being brought to the fore again. Already the possessor of enough government injunctions to paper the den of his Springf.cld.

In fact, persons who know what trade treaties are vote better than eight to one to retain them. I'm no economic expert, but all I have ever road or heard nb ut the old high protective tariff de- bntes, the experience under the Smoot Hawley bill, the post World War I debt repudiation and depression would seem to indicate that the high tariff idea should and would be dead as a dodo. If not, it means we spin the wheel backward to the grand old days of high tariffs which killed foreign trade, made it impossible for foreign countries to sell us goods and spend their money bore, or to pay back the money they owed us simply to protect certain private 30 ) S. District Judge T. Alan issued the latest Injunction ordering Lewis to bargain with the Southern Coal Producers association. The mine chief previously had refused to bargain with the association because the 14 member groups were being represented at the contract talks by Just one man. However, Lewis bowed to the injunction and agreed to talk. In the course of this talk one of tlie first things he did was to call the mine operators "fat cats" and then wave an arrogant club at them with these words: "We assume that you would deplore any impairment of your abnormal income after July 1. Such an assumption would seem to be a logical predicate for the making of a new wage agreement before that date." Briefly, it looked as though Lewis was determined to strike again. Deprived cf one snag, he immediately grasped another. As a result the first round of contract talks was fruitless. U. "restrictions on or crippling of the trade agreements program would have very undesirable repercussions. Discontinuance or impairment would destroy consistency in United States policy anj would undermine world confidence ' Former Republican presidential candidate Alfred E.

It was a lone wolf fight he was waging going over the heads of party leaders to talk directly to the people. And most of what he had to say to the people concerned the Republican congress and what he termed its inaction. In Chicago, speaking before the Swedish Pioneer Centennial association, he hammered out a platform upon which he can be expected to base his chances for renomination. It was a platform for "more and better democracy. From Chicago the President, with his entourage, headed for the heart of the farm belt, Omaha, Neb., and it was there that he was set sharp ly back on his heels. He continued his lambasting of the Republican congress this time concentrating on GOP farm policies in a speech at the coliseum in Omaha. Fantastically, in the coliseum which has a ca pacity of 10,000, fewer than 2,000 persons were present to hear Mr. Truman talk. This phenomenon was variously Interpreted. Some said the President's box office appeal had wilted. Others claimed the Nebraska Democratic machine had done a miserably inadequate job in promoting his appearance. Probably closer to the truth was the plain fact that the label of the presidential trip had backfired seriously. He made a political speech and had expected to get a crowd of friendly Democrats to fill the hall for the occa- out over a periu i of 15 months. The administration had asked as the minimum fund needed fur a 12 no nth period. Secretary of S: tie George Marshall, fighting hard against the cut, had asserted that the smaller appropriation would mean putting Europe on a reief dole, rather than helping it to i's feet. But Rep. John Taber (Rep., N. Y.), chairman of the house appropriations committee, went right ahead and swung the ax. He said the funds his committee proposed were all that could be spent with any degree of prudence. Paul G. Hoffman, head of the European recovery program, said he "certainly hoped congress would restore the cuts. ERP was hardest hit in the fund cut Whereas congress previously had authorized up to 4 245 billion dollars in 12 months for that recovery project the appropriations bill as passed by the house knocked that figure down to 4 billion dollars for 15 months. .t.H shower of groped about water, deluging making racket LitUe Woman to h , Midtown Vignette: In the trade 1 Takln ' the Mm an kindso, Moon Over Manhattan It Is common talk that some of the better known magazines (not Hearsv) have taken big dives In cir- culation . . .
