FOREIGN TRADE.
UNITED STATES VIEWS. WASHINGTON, May 21. The Secretary of State (Mr Cordell Hull), opening the national observance of Foreign Trade Week, broadcast a message from President Roosevelt asserting that pacific intercourse with other countries was the dominant purpose of the foreign policy of the United States. Then, speaking for himself, lie urged arms limitation and the' discarding of totalitarian trade methods as a means to bring about international peace. Both assailed the critics of the Administration’s reciprocal trade agreements programme, the President declaring, “We have the right to expect breadth of vision from all groups in our own country.” Mr Hull asserted that economic isolation would result in swift disaster for both the United States and the rest of the world thus “making hollow the repeated declamations that what happens abroad isn’t of concern to us.” Mr Hull also reaffirmed previous denunciations of Italo-German international barter methods though he mentioned neither by name.
