REMOVAL OF TRADE BARRIERS
ROOSEVELT POLICY MESSAGE TO CONGRESS (United Press Association—By Electrlo Telegraph—Copyright) WASHINGTON, 3rd April. President Roosevelt’s complete programme for the relief of agriculture was expounded to-day as as message presented to Congress not only asking for the extensive refinancing of farm mortgages, but declaring that he would soon ask Congress for “legislation enabling us to initiate practical reciprocal tariff agreements to break through trade barriers and establish foreign mar-, kets for farm and industrial products.” This, together with legislation pending designed to raise the price of cereal commodities to pre-war levels, constitutes a general outline of the promise made during tire presidential campaign. At the White House, it is said, the State Department has already opened informal negotiations with several countries looking to tariff adjustments, and definite moves in that direction would bo made as soon' as legislative permission was granted.
