Export Increase in Machines and Automobiles Cited as Important.

Times Bpecial

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.—Reciprocal trade agreements which the present national Administration has | “entered into with many foreign |

countries have increased Indiana's |

buying power millions of dollars, the StMe Department announced today. | United States exports, the report | sets out, were valued at more than |

$5,000,000,000 in 1929, but had de |

creased to $1,600,000000 in 1932. Department spokesmen said much | of this decline was accounted for by foreign nations retaliating against | the Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act of | 1930. In 1929, Indiana products going | directly to foreign markets were] valued at approximately $74,000,000, | the report added, ‘but by 1932 Indi- | ana's direct exports had dropped | to $17.000,000, or a loss of $57,000,000. “Indiana in 1929 also derived many millions of dollars of purchasing power from the sale of products used in the manufacture elsewhere of finished articles for export,” the report stated. Much of this was lost, the paper | added, with the general decline in| our export trade by 1932. - |

14 Agreements Made

Department officials pointed out that during the last two years re-| ciprocal agreements have been con- | cluded with 14 countries. They are Cuba, Belgium, Haiti, Sweden, Can- | ada, the Netherlands and colonies, | Brazil, Sweden, Colombia, Hofduras, | Gautemala, France, Nicaragua and Finland. Negotiations with several | other countries now are under way. | United States exports to Cuba increased $21,000,000 the first year | after the treaty went into effect, and | the increase to Belgium the first 12] months after the treaty was signed | was approximately $11,000,000, officials said. The trade agreement with Can- | ada went into force Jan. 1, 1936, | and during the first six months of | this year our exports amounted to | $182,700,000, an increase of $24.300,- | oe over the first six months of | J.

Program Held Vital

“Indiana has a vital interest in | the trade agreements program. Not | ‘only have concessions of direct | benefit to the state been Aeluded, | in agreements already concluded, but also, the people of Indiana bene- | fit from general improvement | throughout the country, continu- | ance of which must, to an import- | ant extent, depend upon the re-| opening of foreign markets for the | products of American agriculture | and industry,” department spokes- | men said. Industries named as having bene- | fited” particularly by most of the treaties were automobile, electrical | machinery and.equipment and ag- | ricultufal ‘machinery, in all of] which Indiana is"classed as a fed) ing producer. The treaties also have succeeded, | according to department officials, in | stimulating exports of lard, milk | products and meat.

Landon’s Talk to F oreign Born ||

By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—Following is the text of a radio talk given by Gov. Alfred M. Landon yesterday under auspices of the Naturalized Americans Division of the Republican national committee:

1 welcome this opportunity to greet my fellow citizens of foreign birth and to talk to them briefly and frankly about some of the things that I know are in their

| minds.

In the part of the country I come from men are judgsd for what they are and not for the creed they | profess nor the race from which they spring. I stand on this principle. It has built on this continent |a great nation of free men and women seeking equal opportunity to grow and prospér without limitations of race, creed, color, class or caste. Millions from all the countries of the world have joined us in this | process of nation. building. They have given America the fruiis of their labor. They have enriched our spiritual and- cultural life. In war and in peaée they have marched shoulder to shoulder with the rest of our citizens in uphold-

government which are the very corner stone of our social and po-

{ litical life.

I have a deep and abiding faith in their good citizenship, and therefore 1 detest the attempt to divide them on racial and religious grounds. It is done for purely

| political purposes. I want to be perfectly frank about |

this. The whispers and the rumors {that certain vote seekers are now i spreading around the country can | not be excused on any ground. My whole being, all the traditions of my American ancestry, rebel against the despicable attempt to stir up racial, religious and class prejudices. Our opponents are attributing to {a great political party—the party of ‘Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt—a party born in the

| greatest struggle for racial equality

in all the history of the world, motives that are as inhuman as they are un-American. On the leaders of the so-called Democratic party must rest the responsibility for these rumors which

{are being spread in the mqgt sin-

ister fashion by their own camp followers. I have repeatedly stated my position on this vital subject of tol-

erance, understanding and fair play.

I want no support from any elements that are trying to inject racial prejudices and religious bigotries in this campaign. 1 have never countenanced them

in my own state. 1 fought the forces of bigotry in Kansas. Helped to destroy them. them in the United States when-

{ever and wherever they may appear.

I want to repeat again: If ever in this country there is an attempt to persecute any minority on grounds of race, religion or class, I will take my stand by the side of the minority. Another bit of cheap political propaganda I should like to denounce here, hecause I know how much it has been used among our citizens of foreign birth, is the lie that if I am elected the needy unemployed of this country will be deprived of relief. I stand foursquares for the. proposition that as long as there is unemployment in this country and so long as men and women are in need, they will be adequately cared for. We shall continue. relief on an honest, decent basis, without waste and political favoritism. At the same time we shall make every effort within the power of government to restore the jobless to gainful employment, What the workers of America want is work, not charity; gainful opportunity, not.the dole. The present Administration has spent $25,000,000,000 which we and our children shall have to pay in

ing those principles and ideals of | taxes, but we still have 11,000,000

unemployed pounding ‘the ‘streets of our cities and 22,000.000 -on relief. This can not, must not, continue. We shall make every effort in our power to see that it does not continue. The civil and political «#ights ‘of our citizens in. this country, both

experience of the rest of the world. Whenever business is bad, men

gre out of work, governments spend more than they fake in. For a time they borrow to meet their expenses When they are no longer able to borrow, they resort to inflation. Savings areewiped out. Livifig costs shoot upward. Wages lag. - Widespread follows, and then? ns. then? The old’ form of government with its protection of the rights of the individual is cast aside. Authority is centralized, narrowed down {fo one man or a group of men; and as the people become unhappy and resentful, they turn on minority groups. As the established legal safeguards break down, brutal persecution follows. This is a familiar development. It has a lesson for us.in America. We have had a great depression with millions: out of work. The government is spending two dollars for every dollar it takes in. We still are able to borrow to meet the deficit. But nobody knows how long this can continue. If the time should come when the deficit can no longer be met by borrowing, in‘flation will be upon us—inflation with the misery, the unhappiness, the tragedy it always brings. Then we are in danger of persecution. Our guarantees, yours and mine, are in the Constitution. But if respect for e Constitution is undermined, what then?
