Valuable concessions have been obtained for American lumber in COMMISSIONER markets of the United Kingdom and certain of the British colonies. UTAH STATE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION These concessions mean the relinquishment by Canada of a large portion of its preference in the lumber trade in these markets. I have no reason to apprehend anything but benefit and advantage from these treaties. If it is found after they are put into operation that the American livestock and dairy interests or any section of American agriculture is injured, there is no question but what the far treaties will be amended.

UTAH LABOR NEWS. TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH GREAT BRITAIN AND CANADA (Continued from page 1) the New England states the bulwark of the industrial East are criticizing these treaties and claiming that they will result in a disadvantage to the industrial sections of the country. Other sections of the nation are likewise raising questions as to the results to flow from the pacts as re confar as their interests cerned; and, of course, there will be a superhuman political effort to put Secretary Hull in the hole and accuse him of selling out America in this international deal. Already the industrial East is making these charges. I do not believe there is any merit in them. It is my idea that there is no human mind in our country capable of grasping all the manifold factors involved in these treaties and determining at this time just what results are going to be achieved. Whether the agreements are going to be a great benefit or a serious detriment can only be determined after they have been in operation over a period of years. Selfish interests may endeavor to sow the seeds of discontent and dissatisfaction amongst the people, but in my judgment they are actuated by selfish motives, and should not be trusted. Country Will Benefit I would advise that we be not influenced by any present attempts to discredit this great effort to relieve our country and the world from the baneful effects of these international tariff policies which have unquestionably destroyed world trade and developed dangerous animosities among nations. The treaties were negotiated only upon the soundest advice and assistance that could be obtained from experts in this country cooperating with the Deparament of State. The sole purpose in view was to benefit and improve conditions in this country. Some disadvantages may be found here and there but, on the whole, the country will be greatly benefited. American agriculture and industry should gain much from these agreements. The concessions secured for American producers cover a great volume of trade. The United Kingdom agreement is particularly important from the standpoint of agriculture. That country is by far the largest foreign mar ket for American farm products, of taking normally about one-thithe total exports. Substantial con cessions on farm products have been secured from the United rd Kingdom. Value to Wheat Growers This treaty, granting duty-fre- e treatment for wheat in the United Kingdom of Great Britain, should prove of marked value to American wheat growers and the American wheat export trade. This concession for American wheat will also benefit the American transporta tion and port business, as hereafter Canadian wheat can . be shipped over American lines and through American ports. The United Kingdom is the leading wheat import market of the world. Because of the world eco nomic depression and the establishment of the high import duties in 1932, imports of American wheat into the United Kingdom dropped from approximately forty million in 1930 to only nine million bushels in 1933. In other words, American wheat was supplanted .
