CALL FOR LOWER TRADE BARRIERS
EFFECT ON STANDARDS PLEA BY ECONOMISTS By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 11.10 a.m. STOCKHOLM, To-day “Trade is suffering from too many and too high trade barriers,” declared Mr. Alan Anderson, opening the International Chamber of Commerce Congress. Each national committee must convince itself that its own trade will be helped by the lowering of its own country's trade barriers and mv st say so boldly to its own government, whether freetrader or protectionist. None can recant his fiscal faiths, but each can say that living standards are being lowered by the barriers threatening the best civilisation the world has known. Mr. Gustav Cassel, the eminent Swedish economist, criticised State subsidies and bounties, and urged the insistent need for stability and uniformity and above all the need for investigation as to whether nations could not limit expenditure by a general economic and disarmament agreement. The German Minister of Economics. Herr Julius Curtius, said that Europe’s salvation lies in the abandonment of exaggerated protectionism and the restoration of free commercial competition.—A. and N.Z.
