T X TRADE HONG I I WA8HINOTON, Jan. 22. Creation of an International trade commission to deal with thoso who seek a world mouoply nnd nro lu a position to In jur o not only tho consumers In their own country, but thoso In forolgn na tions as well, was rocommonded by, Huston Thompson, of tho Fcdoral Trudo Commission, in an address to day before tho Second Pan-American Financial Conference. Complaints should como through national trndo commissions, Mr. Thompson said, nnd each cause tried hoforo representatives of tho inter national body not belonging to tho nation whoso cltlzons wcro Involved in tho litigation. "Tho definition' of what was an un fair trado practico boforo this com mission could bo found In tho trado practices already condemned by tho InwA of many nations, both ancient nnd modern, "Mr. Thompson said, 'tho rulings of tho respective trado commissions, tho 'trado practico sub mittal lists,' such as our commission has already received from somo of our Industries, tho pronouncements of political cnonomlsts, and abovo all, in tho common sonso of those boforo whom the enso was presented aftor Investigation and hearing. "In tho universal publicity of tho findings of such a body woufd llo tho corrective. "I havo heon asked who would pol ice tho committing of tho offenses. Tho nnswor Is tho snmo as In our domestic business tho competitor, P. thoro not every reason to bollovo tint under tho inspiration of tho re spective National Trado Commissions tho Industries in oach nation would write tholr own 'trndo practico sub mittal list' of unfair practices Just as thoy nro doing in this country?' ,..A national trado mark, established by Congress, as a means of increasing national prido and controlling tho quality of goods exported from tho United States, nlso was urged by Mr. Thompson. Failure on tho' part of an exporter to deliver goods of tho same grado nnd quality as samples would bo sufficient causa for refusing per mission to U80 tho trado mark.
