What About World Trade?
BY Congressman Frances P. Bolton

Nor can we put the whole blame
upon our government! How diff
ferent our own situation would
have been if we had PIT ourselves
to work the day after VI Day
and-regardless Of everything
had produced, produced, produced
all those homely every day things
our people needed, and the whole
world was-and still is destitute
OF. | have called attention to this
many times with emphasis upon
the need we have for exports.
Now l read in the August 29th
number of the United States
News, "A sharp leap in exports
would affect the United States
domestic boom. Foreign sales have
been a strong support to United
States production, employment
and prices. | read further:
"Some two million non-farm jobs
depend upon United States export
trade which is out of every 100

export. In rubbc. and chemicals

ports have supplied the margin
that has made full employment
possible since last March.
The fact that our cr1rvs are so

y. The results TO US are going
to be far reaching. Some countries
have already taken measure to
conserve dollar credits. London,
for instance, has called a halt on
the conversion of American dol.
lars except for American accounts.
The results will probably make
apparent the three zones that have
been created in world trade: the
sterling zone, the dolla.. zone and
the zone dominated by the Soviet
Union. How can world trade be
restored without a very broad re-
vision of trade relations which
will involve changes for the Unit
ed States in our relations with
some of our best customers? Why
not face up to these problems
realistically and set our best
minds to finding new ways! And
let the rest Of US get ready to put
new methods into action. We must
have courage to face the new
world.
