operation of the program during
the war years will tend to keep
American foreign commerce on a
more even keel than ordinarily
might be expected during such a
chaotic period.
The administrations authority to
enter into these agreementS-with-

father" of the plan. and several
congressional leaders.
The program already has been
in operation for six years. Its first
three year lease on life was renewed
once before. in 1887.
The trading policy is based on
the theory of international recipro-
city. as the name implies. 1t is a
policy of encouraging trade between
nations in contrast to the theories
of national self-Sufficiency. as es-
poused especially by totalitarian
countries.
Here is the way it works in eS-
sence: The United States tells coun-
try *" that if * will reduce its
high tariff rates on American auto
mobiles for instance, this nation
in turn will reduce its tariffs on
some product exported by TX. The
U. S. tariff can be reduced as much
as so per cent Of the rate set by
congress in the last tariff act.
II such an agreement eventually
! is concluded the most favored
nation" clause of the reciprocal
trade act provides that all nations,
which are not on the American
foreign commerce blacklist" shall
enjoy the same reduction in tariff
rates that was given to "X". At
present these reductions are ac-
corded to almost all countries ex-
cept Germany.
Carried to its ultimate conclu-
sion. the program envisages mutual
ly advantageous trade between ma
tions. whereby country which ex-
GELS in the production of certain
products, agricultural or industrial,
could concentrate its energy on such
production. It would depend upon
other countries, excellng in the
production of other goods, for the
commodities which it does not pro-
duce itself.
In practical operation, however.
the program is definitely limited
Hull and other advocates of the
program contended that the policy
has not caused any major sacrifice
on the part of any American in
dustry or agricultural interest. Op-
ponents differ, however, and hold
that American agriculture has suf-
fered.
One opponent argued during SEN
ate debate on the extension bill
that if the program were carried
out logically, the United States
would have to abandon its agricul-
tural economy altogether and con-
centrate on industrial production,
