lIEDFOTCtf MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1933. PAGE THREE DEAL' PROMISES TO HELPPEARS Fruit - Exporting Authority Returns From Europe Optimistic Over 1933 Prospects; Inflation to Aid SEATTLE. May 8. (Special) Baslo soundness of general European con ditions with a prospect of rapid Im provement as soon as the settlement of currency and tariff problems have effected a stabilization of world trade, offers encouragement to American ex porters. This Is the Impression of J. A. Smith, export manager of Gwin, White 6c Prince, Inc., packers of Rogue River Valley pears, who re turned to Seattle Saturday after a four month's sojourn In Europe In the Interests of his firm and Its ship ping clients. The trip Just concluded Is the third which Mr. Smith has made abroad since his association with Owln, White As Prince, Inc., so he was able on this visit, to measure many changes that have taken place In the Euro pean centers of trade. During this trip Mr. Smith visited the markets of 27 cities In the United Kingdom, Norway. Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Poland, Holland, Belgium and France. In addition to the stimu lation of immediate business an im portant purpose of Mr. Smith's trip was to study carefully European eco nomic and political conditions, in order to enable his organization to determine a "long pull" policy for the continued exploitation of these markets for Pacific northwest fruit. "The new Roosevelt administration Is widely acclaimed by the European press which views the president's an nounced policies a direct aids to the stabilization of the world's cha otic conditions." he declares. "Among the substantial elements of the trade there Is a definite expression of opti mism concerning the world economic conference in London In June. Off Gold to Help. "In the United Kingdom, the ' largest single customer for northwest fruits, there Is a feeling, quite gene ral, of restlveness regarding the Ot tawa agreement. The U. K. trade feels that England has made a bad bargain. However, the tariffs which have resulted from Ottawa and ad versely affect our trade with England, are not considered so troublesome and restrictive as exchange which penal ized the United States to the extent of approximately 25 per cent. Since the abandonment of the gold stand ard In the United States this fea ture, which has resulted In the strengthening of the pound sterling in terms of dollars has alleviated the situation to some extent. The equali zation, or stabilization of exchanges, therefore, plus whatever tariff adjust ments may be made at the world eco nomic conference will assist the northwest's trade with the U. K." Germany to Quiet Down. Mr. Smith was In Germany shortly after the election of the Hitler gov ernment and during the time of the primary formation of the govern ments policies. During the Hitler campaign decidedly nationalistic eco nomic pronouncements were being made. These are still In' evidence. but there Is widely . expressed hope. In Germany among the business peo ple that with power the government will become more conservative. "As a matter of fact." he explains, "Hitler has already Indicated, by action, his willingness to accept the advice of the sound business leaders of that country. It is unfortunate that the more spectacular portions of his cam paign, such as the boycott of the Jews, etc., must be carried out in order to convince the people that the government does what it prom ises. It Is hoped therefore that pre election promises which threatened to some extent the trade between the Pacific coast and Germany, and by the some token promised. If applied to all foreign commodities to com pletely unsettle the economic sta bility of Germany, will be consider ably modified." Export Trade Promising. "Once these major problems have been met by the stronger nations," Mr. Smith states, "it will Inevitably follow that the smaller nations with whom trade was restricted for the past 18 months by exchange inequali ties, tariff barriers, quotas, will again be opened to Pacific coast commodi ties Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Aus tria. Hungary, Czechoslovakia. "The general feeling, therefore, is that with the settlement of these troublesome matters export trade wlh Europe holds promise of considerable future expansion and deserves con tinued preparation and study of mar kets and methods." European markets for apples and penrs. particularly Prance, Germany, Holland and the United Kingdom, are appreciative of the high quality of fruit from the Pacific northwest, Mr. Smith reports. The pear market, he states, has developed a surprising as pect of stability and gives definite promise of future expansion. SCORES 26TH KAYO SEATTLE. May 3.
