Manila Business Man Seeks
Preferential Trade
Agreement.
BY JAMES G. WINGO.
The Philippines will become much
poorer after independence than now.
in the opinion of Joaquin "Mike”
Elizalde, who flew from Manila to
Washington to participate in the first
meeting tomorrow of the joint prepar
atory committee of experts to study
trade relations between the United
States and the Philippines and to
recommend for the adjustment of
Philippine national economy in prep
aration for the termination of pref
erential trade relations between the
two countries.
Elizalde, 41-year-old Manila busi
ness executive and polo player, is a
member of the Philippine National
Economic Council and the only active
business man among the Filipino
members of the joint committee. He
is the president of Elizalde & Co., Inc.,
which is engaged in sugar, hemp, coco
nut, lumber, mining, ranching, ship
ping, distillery, insurance nad other
lines of business, and captain of the
internationally known four Elizalde
brothers 19-goal polo team.
"The set-up under the Philippine
independence act is good for only one
purpose,” he said. "It affords an op
portunity for liquidation of United
'States interests in the islands
Dependent on Congress Now.
“The Philippines will become a
much poorer country after the United
States gets out of the islands. But the
main thing, we of the Philippines, have
to look for now is a certain amount
of permanency and continuity in our
economic structure. At present we
are very much dependent upon the
United States Congress."
Elizalde, economic adviser of Presi
dent Manuel Quezon, has outlined an
economic system for the Philippines.
It is a semi-agricultural and industrial
one, adaptable to their requirements,
customs, mode of living, national re
sources, wealth, physical strength, and
climate.
“It is possible that, by negotiations,
the United States would consent to
accept, in limited amounts, sugar,
coconut oil and tobacco products,
which are almost totally dependent
upon the American market,” he
declared.
"All these negotiations or bargaining
could be made possible by offering, In
exchange, continued preferential trade
in this country for American products
which have now an established market
in the Philippines.
Better Profits Advanced.
“In relation to the exports of Amer
ican goods to the islands, it may be
said that, although their total value is
not as large as the United States
exports to some countries, American
exporters are in a position to make
better profits on the goods they ship

to the Philippines than on those they
export to more competitive markets or
places where American commodities
compete on an even basis against the
manufactures of Japan, Great Britain
and Germany.
“It is important to us, therefore, to
inject into our economy the idea of
establishing and developing, at the
earliest possible date, small industries
to supply our home demand—cotton
spinning, soap making, manufacture
of dairy products, wine, beer and other
food products, manufacture of silk,
furniture, knitted goods, shoes, paper,
rubber goods and celluloid, and fishing.
With the progress of these industries,
our imports from abroad would
diminish and would compensate for
the loss of part of our exports.”

STEAMERS COLLIDE
NEAR FT. M’HENRY
Passenger and Freight Vessels in
Crash While Bound for
Baltimore Harbor.
By tlit Aiaoclated Preu.
BALTIMORE, April 17.—The pass
enger steamer Yorktown, from Nor
folk to Baltimore, and the freighter
Alamar. operated by the Calamar
Steamship Co., collided today near
Fort McHenry as both were bound for
the Inner harbor.
The Yorktown’s bow was rent by
the Impact. Forty-two passengers
were tossed about in dining rooms
and state rooms.
Mrs. Herbert Crockins of Norfolk
was struck by a table as she sat at
breakfast. She was sent to Sinai
Hospital after the boat docked, where
an X-ray was made to determine
whether she was seriously hurt.
Capt. J. E. Elliott of the York
town was in the wheel house of the
Yorktown as it came In the harbor
more than an hour late because of a
delayed departure from Norfolk last
night. «
Capt. Elliott said:
"We were coming up on the west
side of the channel. When we pulled
up amidships the Alamar suddenly
swung across our bow, and we caught
her broadside. The Alamar blew a
danger signal but there was no time
for us to do anything.”
The prow of the Yorktown plowed
into the side of the Alamar, and the
sharp bow was pushed back into the
shape of a hook.
I The Alamar, commanded by Capt.
R. E. Nystrum, was bound from Phil
adelphia to a Sparrows Point dry
dock.
