Anglo-U. S. Trade Treaty Penalizes Reich; Nazis Recall Envoy to ‘Explain’ Roosevelt
Both Washington ‘and London Yield Ground For Accord.

chinery will have to pay the old| vate. In 1937 we bought more than half * a million dollars’ worth of toys from Germany and more from tne Sudetenland and Austria. The AngloAmerican agreement cuts the tariff on certain types of toys from T0 per cent to 45 per cent, but not if they come from Greater Germany. The British agreement also cuts 10 per cent off the 50 per cent ad valorem duty on certain types of gloves and mittens. Insofar as these types compete with the Su‘deten product, the later will face a disadvantage in the American market. Germany was not mentioned in the new agreements. Only the negotiators: know: whether she was in their minds when they cut the rates to her competitors, Some think the Reich may be " able, with its manipulated gconomy, to overcome the tariff disadvantages through hidden subsidies. The Nazis need our cotton and other products, and about the only way they can get it is’ to acquire dollar exchange by. selling goods to us.
U.S. to Extend Trade
Policy in South America
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (U. P.). —Great Britain and the United States joined today in a world trade axis on the 'basis of international commercial concessions among 20 nations. The United States now is
expected to extend trade reciprocity farther into South America. Great Britain joined the world reciprocal circle yesterday by signing a trade agreement with the United States. Canada simuitaneously signed a revision of a three-year-old reciprocal trade treaty with this country. American wheat, corn snd fruit growers . appear to have made the outstanding gains from the British treaty. The Corn Belt was favored by concessions on lard, hams and other pork products. Great Britain abandoned a 6-cent per bushel Empire preference tariff against our wheat. But the area and extent of benefits is likely to be disputed.
First Protests Heard
Great Britain appears to have gained most in concessions on whisky, textiles and manufactured
metal goods. A State Department analysis asserted that the Canadia and British agreements will substantially benefit American farmers and industrialists. But protests are inevitable and may be widespread. First to complain was the National Coal Association, which protested that Canadian coal would continue to come in free while Canadd will levy duties on our bituminous coal and on. coke. But the Administration stands pat on its “Yankee trading” progr Secretary of State Hull was he recipient today of all-around c sratulations upon realization of is mbition to make an Anglo-Amer-ican trade treaty the capstone of a world reciprocity program. ; Germany stands alone now as the major nation entirely outside the circle of those sharing in some degree in reciprocity programs. | Approximately 703 million dollars in annual trade between the United States and Canada and Great Britain was directly affected by the treaties signed yesterday.
Roosevelt Signs
The treaties were signed separately in the White -House East Room, culminating months of laborious negotiations which had to deal literally with thousands of tariff rates and schedules. The signatures of President Roosevelt,
Secretary Hull, Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British Ambassador, Prime Minister MacKenzie King of Canada and Arnold Overton, second secretary of the British Board of Trade, converted the negotiations into documents calculated to have a tremendous bearing on wotld trade and international politics. The traties are effective Jan. 1 and continue for three years after which they may continue indefinitely or be denounced by either party on six-months notice. An “escape clause” would permit quick re-ex-amination of the treaty structures|p in light of excessive fluctuation of one party's currency in relation to the other. The entire agreement could then be terminated after 30 days if the currency issues were not quickly adjusted.
Arms Control Reserved
That clause would avoid what some - financiers feared: That depression of the British pound sterling would enable Great Britain to " flood American markets with cheaply priced merchandise further favored by treaty tariff concessions. There had been reports that there would be no protection in the treaty against considerable devaluation of the pound. Boh parties to the Anglo-Amer-“ican treaty reserved the right to control all traffic in arms, ammunition and implements of war and, in exceptional circumstances, all other military supplies. There seemed to be some correlation of schedules with defense needs of all three nations so that vital materials would - be as freely exchanged as circumstances would permit. Notably, the Anglo-American treaty was accompanied by a side agreement giving tentative assurances that each would have constant access to raw materials controlled by the other. Outstanding in that category is rubber, of which "the United States is the greatest consumer while producing noéne. The British Government undertook to consult with parties to the in- ~ ternational rubber agreement regarding the possibility of amending the agreement to permit exportation of rubber planting material to, countries not party to it.

Johnson Says Air Force ~ Possibly Must Be Quadrupled.
BOSTON, Nov. 18 (U. P.).—Louis Johnson,” Assistant War Secretary, declared today that the United States must double, treble “and perhaps even quadruple” its present Army Air Force to keep abreast of the world armament race. He did not give figures on the
matter now being considered by President Roosevelt in conneetion with his determination that the United States must be ready to_assist defense of the whole Western Hemisphere. The Army now is estimated to have 1500 to 1700 planes, and a: quadrupling of that force would mean at least 6000 planes, exclusive of the Naval Air Force, which also is expected to be expanded. With the world in its present state, Mr. Johnson said in an address to the New England Council, “We must ‘gird our loins; we must prepare ourselves, the forces of evil must not overtake us.” ; “Yesterday,” he continued, “we believed that a program calling for 2320 airplanes of all types by. 1940 would protect us against any enemies from the air. Today, these figures are far below our immediate needs .. . to meet the tremendous pace that the rest of the world is setting, we must double, yes, treble and perhaps even quadruple our present air force with the best airplanes that can possibly be produced. ... “While we still speak in terms of units of tens, or perhaps hundreds of military airplanes, the rest of the world has stepped up the production of aircraft to the thousands.”
JAPANESE REJECT OPEN-DOOR PROTEST
Deny Undue Discrimination Against Americans.
TOKYO, Nov. 18 (U. P.) —Japan, replying -to the United States protest against restrictions on foreign trade in China in favor of Japanese, denied today that. she is violating the Open Door principle of the Nine-Power Treaty. The reply said that specific points in the American note and-incidents complained of might be attributed to abnormal war conditions, and promised to restore normality as soon as possible. The note said that Americans may return without restriction to interior points in China except “danger zones.” (Most of the important part of the interior has been proclaimed “danger zones” by Japan.) Japan denied any fundamental difference in the treatment of Americans, stressing again that the war makes conditions abnormal,
Spanish War Back To Status of July
HENDAYE, French - Spanish Frontier, Nov. 18 (U. P.).—The Spanish Civil War today was exactly where it stood July 24, when the Loyalists began an offensive which pushed across the Ebro River. With the Rebels again in possession of the pocket made by. that drive neither side had won or lost terrain throughout the whole summer and autumn campaigns, although together they have had at least 80,000 casualties. After 113 days of fierce fighting the Rebels today consolidated their victory in the recaptured Ebro arc. Rain and fog settled down over the valley bringing military operations to a. halt, The weather enabled the Loyalists to redistribute their forces along the east bank of the river.

DALADIER'S OWN PARTY IS SPLIT
Unahimods Backing Refused As Workers Demonstrate Against Decrees.
PARIS, Nov. 18 (U. P.).—Premier Daladier was given a severe blow today when his own parliamentary party, the Radical Socialists, split
‘on his financial and economic re-
covery. program. The party approved his drastic economic decrees and tax increases, but only by ma jority vote instead of its usual unanimous indorsement, The immediate consequences of the split were not yet clear but observers believed that the Premier’s position, and with it that of the Government, may be endangered. Workers, war veterans, Socialists and Communists are conducting a nation-wide protest against the decrees. Official figures on the Radical Socialist vote were lacking, but of 100 deputies present, approximately 75 voted confidence, nine voted against and 15 or 16 abstained from voting. The party totals 115 deputies. Unswerved by the appeal of President Albert Lebrun, in ah almost unprecedented Presidential intervention in politics, the French Federation of Labor determined to carry out a “national demonstration” Nov. 26.
It will consist of simultaneous mass demonstrations ‘throughout the country of all “partisans of democratic working class liberties,” Leon Jouhaux, labor leader an-

served the economic interests which in Washington were catered. to primarily for the benefit of Jews... . “The United States .continues the most-favored-nation policy in order to seek an advantage in international commercial relations—not to seek mutual improvement of production. Mr. Hull pursues a policy unconditionally and. with brutality
-against the German bilateral sys-
tem of agreements and commodity exchange. “, . + Hull is thus pursuing the. Jewish economic policy since Jews profit everywhere where goods are traded and speculated with. They are not there when the work is to be done. “Anyway, Mr. Roosevelt with his demand for domination of all the Americas had gone a bit too far with England.” As the ahnofincement was made it was learned that a United States citizen, Morris Greentree, 49, a Jew born in San Luis Obispo, Cal, had been under arrest for more than a week. It was announced he will be released tomorrow. Thousands of Jews in Berlin an-
| ticipated a new decree which would
turn them into the streets homeless or create a complete ghetto existence for them.
Wealth of Jews Studied
The threat of a more or less rigid segregation was contained in a measure which the Government was preparing to permit landlords to cancel leases of Jewish tenants without notice. If the decree were enacted, thousands of Jewish families would be forced to vacate their homes. There was no indication what provision would be made for them. Jews in Munich were hopeful of temporary relief after having "been forbidden for a week to purchase food in Aryan stores. They had been threatened with actual hunger. Munich authorities announced that they would permit the Jewish com-
its exclusive use. The semiofficial Deutscher Dienst said Jewish wealth in- Germany had doubled since 1918. The Voelkischer Beobachter commenting in the same vein said: “Jewish wealth was exacted from
small part will now be returned to the German people by the contribution imposed on Jews.”
Dieckhoff May Take
First Boat Home
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (U. P.). —German Ambassador Hans Heinrich Dieckhoff is expected to take the first available German boat home, as a result of his recall to explain the ‘strange attitude” of President Roosevelt, his friends said today. Embassy officials said nothing was settled about the Ambassador's departure, but elsewhere it was indicated he probably would take the Europa leaving New York about midnight next Friday night.

12,000 REFUGEE REMAIN IN U.S.
Myron C. Taylor Sails for London to Assist Jews In Europe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 18 (U. P.) — President Roosevelt said today he Would suggest to Congress that it study the feasibility of permitting some 12,000 to 15,000 German and Austrian refugees now in this country on. visitors permits to remain here indefinitely. Mr. Roosevelt offered no comment at his press conference when asked concerning the remark of German official spokesmen that Ambassador Hans Dieckhoff has been recalled to report on the “strange attitude” of American officials toward German internal affairs. Secretary of State Hull announced that Chairman Myron C. Taylor of the Intergovernmental Committee will sail Nov. 25 for London to renew efforts to aid refugees. ‘He is sailing at President Roosevelt's request. Mr. Roosevelt declared his belief that it would be cruel and inhuman to force the refugees from Germany and Austria to return to their native land at the expiration of their visiors permits. He said he had presented his views to Secretary of Labor Perkins. Visitors permits of most of the refuges are due to expire Dec. 30. Extensions May Be Given Mr. Roosevelt indicated that sixmonth extensions of visitors’ permits, allowed by law, will be granted to these persons and that afterward further six-month extensions will be given, inasmuch as the law does not specify the number of exfensions which may be given, Asserting that there were no adequate laws on the subject dealing with this class of visitors, Mr. Roosevelt said the facts would be presented to Congress. If Congress takes no action, he said, the refugees will be alloWed to stay. He expressed : the belief that Congress would not compel them to forego sanctuary of this country. .The 12,000 to 15,000 refugees in question are not here under the

Chamberlain to ° to Tell British ‘Attitude Tuesday
LONDON, Nov. 18 (U. P.).—The British Government, largely as the result of the initiative of American Ambassador Joseph Kennedy, scoured the colonial empire today for suitable homes for German Jews, The announcement by Prime Minister Chamberlain in Commons
that the Government was taking this urgent step, was interpreted as approval of the Ambassador's plan. Telegrams have been sent to the governors of such colonies las British Guiana, Tanganyika, Rhodesia and Kenya asking them to! inves:igate the possibility of settling refugees. The telegrams asked details regarding the space available for settlement of refugees, the number that could be accommodated, and the kind of refugees who vould be acceptable, meaning classification in relation to the proiessional, agriculture and business fields of whe colonies.
Reply by Monday Adel.
A reply was requested by Monday to enable the Prime Minister to announce specifically just what Britain will contribute towards a solution of the refugee: problem When he speaks in Commons Tues-
y. 2 The British action was largely the result of Mr, Kennedy's conversations with Government officials during the past five days. AngloUnited States effort te help German Jews were now expected to develop as follows: 1. Mr. Chamberlain will announce Tuesday: the possibilities of refugee settlements in the colonies. 2. If the colonies are able to accommodate large numbers, a campaign will be started in the United States to raise money to establish the refugees in their new homes. 3. The five-power directorate of
