Bill to Extend American Trade Commission to South America
Wanuisatox D C May 5 In compliance with the House Foreign Affairs order Representative Stewart of Texas prepared a bill to appoint three Commissioners for two years to aid in extending American trade and railway links with southern nations. They would survey Mexico and Central and South America and report on rail commitments and guarantees to boost postal service commerce and travel. The act would fund 70000 for expenses and 5000 per year per commissioner. A protest from Colorado sheep growers opposes carpet wool duty free entry. The Marshall statue unveiling is set with controversy over site visibility and terrace view from Capitol grounds.
