Xo. 81. nnnn nnrn M M IMl VUnl TO M WEDELL ROAD BOARD CHIEF INTERNATIONAL TUFVERSON MYSTERY DEFIES SOLUTION The Weather Forecast: Tartly cloud- tonight and Tuesday. Little change in tem perature. Highest yesterday ... T4 I. onut thin Morning Sl M M SSIM By PAUL MAIXON WASHINGTON, D. C, June 28. One man In this government believes something Important can be done about foreign trade. He la Oeorge Peek. Other offi cial, who amoxe wp big state menta and gr-r-icat apecchea on the aubject. will tell you behind their bands that it la Juat a little government by play. Several insiders actually believe that President Roosevelt started the tariff - trade Paul Mallon tali only because he had to get Peek out of the AAA and had no place to put him. Wiser ones have a better theory. They point out that the administra tion was forced to do something on the tariff because of campaign prom ises. Serious action was impossible because of world conditions. What could be better, then, than to have Mr. Peek play around with the Issue in a harmless little way? Maybe some day in a year or two or three the world situation will get around to where something Important can be done. In the meantime Mr. Peek 1s laying a good groundwork. That Is the real story underneath the bushel baskets lull of words and figures now being exhibited by Mr. Peek and the foreign trade ballyhoo squad. The first of the reciprocal trade tmaun will ha announced verv soon. It Is with Colombia. Negotiations completer It several weens t,-w, urn it cannot be maoe puouc unui n, to ratified by the Colombian senate. That Is Juat aa well. No boats are waiting with steam up ior wio rau tlnn nf that treatv. You could carry all the trade it will promote In the side pocKec or your car. It will be followed by treaties with rf7tih. Mvorai other Latin-American nations and possibly, two or three European countries. These, nxe xne rMnmhtin t.reafcv. -will be all to the food, but not good enough to make substantial dinerence in me volume of trade. The reason for that was disclosed h wwontlv nuhltshed Peck report. The world owes us billions (private and public debts). Mr. Peck conclude.! thst Inasmuch as they cannot pay us we should sell them more goods. He wants them to pay us with goods chinned to us. That sounds good, but everyono here knows our main trouble now Is v.ot. tr cannot consume cnouch 'o keep our own factories and farms going. Hence, Mr. Peek must confine him i .pif to thines we do not produce T That makes it a penny ante game among bllllon-dollar players. r- si, ix jtnrh an enthusiast that he is not troubled about such things, but he has personal worries just the same. . These center around the fact that while he Is the foreign trade adviser, others seem to be more influential in handling the problem. The leading one ! Assistant State Secretary Fran- i els Sayre. He negotiates all treaties. Mr. Peek, not being an official of the state department, cannot have any thing to do with mBktng treaties (the state department saw to that). But alt foreign trade agreements must ' be In the form of treaties. That leaves Mr. Peck In the posi tion of an adviser In the second de gree. . It Is quite clear that someone is fooling someone else on the inside of J this thing. One of the presidential advisers was suggesting ofl-thc-record the other a day: "J think the greatest recover step which could be taken In thl cuntr tight now la for everyone to stop yelling. There should be a morato rium for three months on complain ing business, labor and all those net suffering real hardships. "Here la business, half recovered, bleating about profits, extra hours, union leaders and what-not. Here Is labor, working under as good condi tions generally aa It ever had. howl ing to high heaven because it canna. have everything It wants. "If everyone would shut up and work hard Just for a trial period, the country would be a lot better off. The gentleman who made these re mark knew well enough what a storm would break around hi he'd if he ever came forward openly wun such a proposal. General Johnson never has to loo for trouble. It always seek him out and he does what he can to see th It finds him. He hsa some very good friends high In the White House. Their friendship was strained when he fired the head d of the union of hi own NRA workers f (John Donovan), saying. In eflect. "No one l going to tell me how to run my btulnew." ImMlne this from Johnson. (Continued w Pif Pour) F Convention at Salem Cheers As Yamhill Man Nomi nated Regular Candi dates Scored by Speaker KST.F.M June 25.
