IN SEARCH FOR PROSPERITY
Brussels, April 5.
It is semi-officially stated that the British and French Governments have in- vited the Prime Minister of Belgium, M. Paul van Zeeland, to inquire into the possibilities of lowering the obstacles in the way to international trade." M. van Zeeland is disposed to accept the task, and the subject is to be discussed with his Cabinet to-morrow.
It is understood the London idea is to prospect the possibility of reducing trade barriers, like quotas, which have been exercising attention since the three-power currency declaration of last September-Reuter.
ATTACKING BARRIERS
London, Apr. 5.
It is announced that Britain, France and Belgium are taking the initiative to promote world economic disarmament.
It is officially stated that Britain and France are keeping in touch with Belgium "with a view to exploring in "what direction it may prove possible to promote reduction of trade barriers, including import quotas.”-
