Dumping

Congress has a serious problem
to face in providing adequate laws
against dumping" Dumping is
the selling Of product III a foreign
country at lower price then it is
sold at home. In the rebuilding of
Europe, which must follow the war
the United States, i'll all probability
will be the object Of a dumpaign
by foreign nations. II this should
happen the markets Of this country
would b. tcmoralized. The United
States is rich. Foreign nations.

Of trade, will attempt 10 rebuild
their fortunes at the expense Of the
United States. Canada, South Africa
and Australia have laws to prohibit
dumping The necessity for ade-
Quate laws for the United States is
an immediate one.
