\ Hoosiers In Washington

SATURDAY, DEC. 30,

VOTE AGAINST FURTHER TRADE POWERS SEEN

Hoosiers in House Expected To Stick to Party Lines on Issue.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. — No| great New Year soothsaying is! needed to predict how Hoosier | Congressmen will vote on extension | of the Administration's reciprocal | trade agreement powers at the ses- | sion of Congress which convenes | next Wednesday. Unless such an overwhelming | array of economic facts can be mustered in the debates as to over- | come their inherent political con- | victions, the House vote from the] Indiana delegation will be five for extension and seven against. Reason: There are seven Re- | publicans and five Democrats from | Indiana. Both United States Senators from Indiana will vote with the Administration.

VanNuys Asks Hull | Senator Shreman Minton always does so and Senator Frederick VanNuys, who usually doesn’t, will do so on the grounds that the trade agreements have been beneficial to the state, | In support of his contention that

Indiana ator VanNuyvs has asked his close friend, Secretary of State Cordell | Hull, to arm him with the facts. Iready the State Department has published documents detailing what the effects of these agreements have been in various states. The one entitled “Benefits to Indiana from Reciprocal Trade] Agreements” reads in part as fol-| Jows: “Indiana is both directly and indirectly dependent upon foreign trade for continued economic de-| velopment and sustained prosperity. It needs foreign markets for the surpius products of its factories, its farms, and its forests. It shares in the improved domestic market | created when, by selling their sur- | plus commodities abroad, other sec- | tions of this country increase their

purchasing power, i

“Total exports reported as originating in Indiana fell from $74,000,- | 000 in 1929 to $17,000,000 in 1932. As the volume of exports from Indiana, and the United States as a| whole, dropped, purchasing power throughout the state was reduced, | Jarge surpluses accumulated, and prices fell. “The total accountable income of | Indiana fell from $1,800,000,000 in 1929 to $955,000,000 in 1932, and cash |

Job Increases Seen

“Many thousands of the people | employed in Indiana owe their jobs to the export trade of the state. The | trade agreements program, by reopening and expanding foreign markets, increases the demand for domestic labor, “When foreign countries increase their demand for American products, industry must employ greater numbers of wage earners to produce these commodities, Increased | employment in industries manufaeturing for export increases domestic consumer purchasing power and creates greater employment opportunities for those engaged in sup-| plying the domestic market.” | That anv of these facts are suffi-| cient to overcome the bitter parti-| sanship which marks Indiana politics appears very doubtful. » N tg

6.0. P. LEADERS ARE INVITED TO JACKSON DINNER

McNary, Austin and Martin. Amazed at Democratic ‘Nonpartisan’ Move.

WASHINGTON, Dec, 30 (U. P).— The Democratic Party invited Sen- |

ate and House Republican leaders |

today to attend their $100-a-plate | Jackson Day dinner, assuring them | that President Roosevelt's speech on that occasion will be “strictly non-! partisan in character.” The precedent-breaking decision | to ask prominent Republicans to sit | down at a Democratic love feast, held solely to raise funds for the 1940 Democratic Presidential campaign, was made with Mr. Roose- | velt’s approval. Invitations, signed by former Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, chairman of the Jackson Day Committee of the District of Columbia, went to Senate Republican Leader Charles L. McNary of Oregon, Assistant Leader Warren R. Austin of Vermont and House Republican Leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. of Massachusetts. Replies were re-| quested. |
