Republicans
Will Support
Trade Policy
Stand Contrasts
to Opposition of
Previous Years

Washington, Apr. 9-lNS - In
contrast to previous years Of bitter
opposition. a sizeable bloc OF Re-
pubiieans are now planning to sup
port the Administration reciproc-
al trade agreements bill when Il
reaches a vote in Congress next
month.
This was learned today as the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee prepared to start hearings on
the issue Monday with Secretary Of
State Hull likely to be the first
witness. Unless extended, the life
OF the existing trade agreements
authority expires June IL.
Republican leaders are reported
to hold that the minority must not
be placed in the position of i'm
peding an integral part OF Presi-
dent Roosevelts foreign policy in
time Of war. and although the COP
may support some restrictive
amendments, no major battle is
planned.
When authority to make reel
procal trade agreements was last
renewed by Congress three years
ago. the Republicans opposed the
program almost TO a man. While
many farm state members may vote
against renewal this year, scores
OF COP adherents from other sec
tions intend TO support it.
Seek Restrictions
Chief restrictive amendments be-
ing sought are:
/. Instead OF a three-year re-
newal, a limitation OF two years, or
until six months after the end of
the war. whichever is sooner.
.. A proposal that any agree
ment negotiated may be nullifed
by congressional resolution any
time during the first 60 days after
the effective date of the agree
ment.
