u~ UNITED STATES TRADE RIGHTS MAY SUFFER DISASTROUS BLOW | If President Follows Direction Of ' Congress As Embodied in Section ' 34 of New Merchant Marine Act Washington, Aug. 31.?The United States may find itself without trade righs in other countries if Sec. tion 34 of the new merchant marine act is carried out, Secretary Payne, of the Interior Department, warned " in a recent letter to the Chamber of Commerce of the United States a copy of which became available here 1 today. "And, of course, it may follow," ' the letter added, "that the business of the country will find itself very greatly embarrassed." " -- ~ ? t<;t I 'I wonder," Mr. rayne wxulc, u the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, or any of its com- j mittees, has given consideration to Section 34 of the merchant marine bill and the consequences to the commerce of the Unied States j . which would result if the President follows the direction of the Congress with respect to the abrogation of treaties with the United States which restrict the right of the Uni States to impose discriminating customs duties on imports or discriminatory tonnage dues on for- i eign vessels of the United States entering the United States? "The substance is: . I "The President is hereby authorized and directed, within ninety days after this act, becomes a law,"' to give notice to he several governments, respectively, parties to which treaties are conventions, that bo many thereof as imposed any such restrictions on the United j States will terminate on the expiration of such periods as may be re-1 quired for the giving of such notice by fhe provisions of such treaties or cor ventions." "This part of the bill has not been j much discussed. The treaty, as you know, is a contract between nations The treaties here affected are the t commercial treaties, on which the nations of the world depend. Manifestly we cannot terminate these treaties without the consent of the country affected.

The countries will scarcely n consent to modify the treaties giv- t; ing us a right to discriminate |n against their commerce and at the c same time permit us to enjoy the J rights which the treaties secure to'/ us. A formal notice will probably result in the entire abrogation of, the treaty. "Passing for the moment any * question of international good faith, we may confront the practical diffi-1 culty that we have no right to trade i with other countries, since our ^ rights in this behalf rest on the ^ reaties affected, and, of course, it ^ may follow that the business of the L country will find itself very greatly's embarrassed. "While I am not charged with this j matter, it seems to me it was some- :a thing that you should be glad to j have called to your attention." ' jj The ninety-day period provided j for in Section 34 expires Friday. Government officials have not thus ^ far given any intimation as toe what steps were contemplated to-; ward carrying out Section 34.

Rural communities and towns of less than 8,000 population benefit In a very large part by the public health and community welfare work of the American Red Cross. Almost all of the 3,GOO Red Cross chapters have some rural sections in their territory. Therefore the Red Cross Rural Service. Briefly, the purpose of Rural Service Is to assist people to set out of life more health, wealth and happiness. In this purpose public henlth Instruction and general educational progress of both children and adults play a big part. Recreation is found to be one of the highest needs in rural life. There is lack of sufficient play-life for the children and social life for the adults. Picnics, pageants, debating clubs, baseball leagues, community singinp and other social events which brine the people of surrounding communities together have been organized and carried on under the guidance of Rt-Ti Cross rural workers to great advan tage. In man;- instances solving recreational problems an<? petting perfple together proves to We the awakening of the community to other condition which may be improved "by united actum. -:As n result of community organization, townships in which there had been neither plans nor Interest in community progress have been organized to work together with the unified purpose of bringing their community up to the most enlightened standards. Lecture and musical entertainment courses have been started as a resull of community meetings, as well as circulating libraries, Red Cross schools of Instruction In Home Nursing, Care of the Sick and First Aid. In the larger towns the need for restrooms and public comfort stations is being met. Playgrounds for the children have been established and recreational activities worked out for t+ie year. In order that there may be concerted effort in carrying on the programs ?f fhe various welfare agencies In the rural districts. Red Cross Rural Service helps the organizations already on the ground. The main object of the service is to lend a hand everywhere and take the lead only where necessary. JUNIOR RED CROSS ACTIVE IN EUROPE Garden seeds for Polish orphans, milk for anaemic Greek babies, carpenters' tools for Czecho-Slovakiau cripples?these are only a few of the gifts that young Americans, are sending to the war-crushed children of the Old World. Through the Juni#r Red Cross the boys and girls of the United States are giving a fresh start 1b life to little war orphans scattered all over Europe. They have set up orphans' homes in France, school colonies in Belgium and Montenegro, and day schools in Al banla. They are sending dozens of younp Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians to American colleges In Constantinople and Beirut, and maintaining more than a hundred orphans of French soldiers at colleges and trad% schools. In orphanages and farm schools up and down the peninsula of Italy there are nearly 500 wards of Ameflcan Juniors. Last winter a thousand French chil *-?? Ino/lonnoro oholtoro nf the devasted regions were sent by the Junior Red Cross to spend the cold months in -warmer parts of Franc*'. At the same time five thousand little Belgians were having a hot lunch every day at Junior Tied Cross school canteens. American school children have already raised something like a million dollars for these enterprises, and tlicy ure still Hard at work. In China, through campaigns of <?dnrntion, the Junior Kerf Cross is helping to combat widely prevalent blindness? *ind cholera. | RED CROSS RELIEF IN CENTRAL EUROPE But for timely assistance of the American Red Cross during the last year, a large proportion of the 20.000.0G0 population of the Balkan States might hare starved or perished from disease or exposure. Six million dol| lars worth of food, clothing and medical supplies hav? 'been sent to the Balbacs?Roumanla, Bulgaria, Albcnia, Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece ?since the beginning of Red Cross relief operations io Central Euvope, while millions of dollars worth of food alone has bees tent to the needy in these states. The money expended by the Red Cross In this stricken portion of Europe has been used to set up hospitals, orphanages,' dispensaries, mobile medial and tn h?1n in th* feneral re construction ?f devastated areas. AmerMean tractors and other farming Implements have been sent to the agricultural regions where aid has been gfcr n in plowing the land. By the last of this year prohsl)!? all American Red Cross agenelef administering relief In Central Europe will have withdrawn. By that time. It la believed, the people will have approached a normal state of living and will be able through their own agmdea which the Red Cross has helped Ml Wj to provide for themselves. t m?-*- fi, . 1 < \ u.
