Elimination of Trade Barriers ECONOMICS AND STRIFE By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright WASHINGTON, April 3m The Secretary of State, Mr Cordell Hull, addressing the United States Chamber of Commerce, advocated the scaling down of tariffs and the elimination of trade barriers as war preventives. “Wo have witnessed in the past few months the swift increase of international political tension and the recrudescence of the military spirit, which seems to find no goal in life except triumph by force, the expansion of standing armies, a sharp incr-ease in military budgets, and actual warfare in some parts of the globe,” he said. “Only as the world’s economic health is restored will individuals and nations develop again an adequate resistance to the psychological madness that makes possible internal and external strife. “Our trade agreements programme is a standing offer to all nations of the world to deal with each of them in commercial matters ou a basis of equal treatment.”
