Trade Questions Must Be Settled By Authority To Negotiate
Walter B. Brown reports for United News New York on July 17 that President Harding supports granting unlimited Treasury secretary authority to negotiate with allies on funding duties. Congress resists for fear of debt cancellation, but the administration argues such power will speed a needed arrangement. The piece notes broader efforts to stabilize business conditions as credits return, exports grow, and prices adjust. It cites steel, wool, retail, and Sears Roebuck data to illustrate demand and confidence levels, with emphasis on wage readjustment and persistent deflation in steel sectors.
