TARIFF WALLS
A CANADIAN SUGGESTION WASHINGTON. (Rec. 10 p.m.) May 27. The Canadian delegation to the Hot Springs Food Conference called for lowered or abolished tariffs, together with a financial and economic measure aimed at maintaining high post-war employment levels. Endorsing an earlier British suggestion for the establishment of internationally financed buffer stocks of staple commodities, a Canadian memorandum presented to a press conference stated: “Experience between the two wars has shown unmistakably that purely national approaches to problems arising from the production and distribution of agricultural products cannot be successful, except in rare instances. The problems themselves are international, and in many respects international treatment alone can deal adequately with them. International co-operation may succeed where international competition has failed.”
