u. S. Aims to Ease Flow
OF Goods From Abroad
BY the Assoeiofed Press

The administration wants to
make it easier for British and
other foreign goods to enter the
United States, so Britain can earn
more of the dollars she badly
needs.
Government officials who re-
ported this today said admins
tration attorneys already are
drafting legislation to simplify and
modernize customs regulations.
The present plan is for Presi-
dent Truman to ask Congress for
these changes. just as soon as
it acts on American membership
in the proposed International
Trade Organization.
The British government has re-
quested a change In American
customs procedures to encourage
British manufacturers to ship
their goods to this country.
British officials attending the
current ish-American-Cana-
dian financial talks are reported
: to have said present American
customs involve more red tape
than those of any other nation.
Government officials familiar
with the problem agree that
simplif1ed customs practices could
attract more British exports and
thus help Britain in its present
economic slump.

5trasbourg Unit Asks
American Tariff Cut
To Aid European Unit,
By the kssociotsd Press

STRASBOURG, France. Aug. 81
The Economic Committee OF the
European consultative assembly
today called for lower American
tariffs to help Europe unite its
economies and avoid economic dis
aSter.
The committee also called Euro
pean nations to make their cur
rencies interchangeable. 1t asked
that the II member nations COM
bine into one preferential tariff
area.
The announcement of the COM
mittee decisions was made by
former French Premier Paul Rey-
maud, chairman of the Economic
Affairs Committee, backstopped by
David" Eccles, the British Con-
servative Party representative on
the committee. 1t was announced
that Mr.. Eccles wrote the final
draft of the committee report,
after he was chosen secretary for
the body.
Mr.. Eccles said:
I'VE hope that the United States
will understand when we say that
we want to extend European pref
erential tariff systems td all the
member states as bloc, and in
the same breath ask the United
States to lower their tariffs.
I'VE realize this will excite con-
siderable controversy. and the de-
cision was taken in a spirit OF
courage. What we are doing
really, is to ask for the creation in
Europe of a large, unified pref
erential trade system like that
within the United States, as a first
step towards European economic
unity.
This would create the single
multilateral trading system which
the United States desires and we
must do it in the same way the
United States built it's single unit
with a unified tariff"
If the Assembly approves the
committee recommendations = 1t
will go to the Council Of Europe's
upper chamber, composed of the
foreign ministers Of the member
nations. The Ministerial Commit
tee will place it before member
governments for action if it ap-
proves. The ministers will meet in

resolutions.
