eral agreement on tariffs and trade,
the Reciprocal Trade Act, and the
International Monetary Fund. The
United States should also become
a member Of the International
Trade Organization.
rs. The United States should con-
slider the eventual desirability OF
assistance, such as stabilization
credits, to permit convertibility of
currencies for current account, not
ably the pound sterling. But such
credits should not be granted until
all requirements for convertibility,
with the exception Of advance re-
serves, have been met. Neither
should such credits be extended un-
less convertibility will be accom-
panied by a reduction of trade dis
ordinations.
16. With respect to our own inn
port policy we should:
(A) Continue to seek further gen.
eral tariff reductions under the Re-
ciprocal Trade Agreements Act, re-
new the Reciprocal Trade Agree
ments Act for q period of four years,
and continue efforts to assure that
obligations mutually undertaken are
carried out.
(B) Adopt, as an emergency meas
ure, temporary legislation to per-
init temporary unilateral reductions
in specific tariff rates on commod!-
ties which are scarce and when con-
ditions of inflationary pressure exist.
Co Reduce unnecessary and un-
reasonable regulatory and pro-
cedural barriers by administrative
action and by passing the proposed
customs simplif1cation act.
CD Initiate as soon as possible
through the Tariff Commission, a
study Of the feasibility and desir-
ability of a general tariff reclassifi-
cation, and to make recommends
tions concerning proper legislative
and administrative action.
(E) Repeal existing legislation
which requires, in Government pro-
curement, discrimination against
imported goods, and in the mean
time reduce the impact of such
Legislation by administrative action.
Modify Price Support.
II. With respect to our own
agricultural policies we should,
over the long run, attempt to
modify our price support system,
and our methods Of surplus dis
posal and accumulation Of stocks,
In ways which, while consistent
with domestic objectives. will be
helpful to our foreign relations.
In the meantime we should:

RECOMMENDATIONS OF
THE GRAY REPORT

Our foreign economic affairs
have reached a stage when major
policy decisions must be made.
The recommendations Of this re-
port are intended to assist in this
task. Some of them call for
legislative action, others involve
only administrative action or re-
affirm present policies. They are
related to one another, and are
designed to equip this country to
pursue an economic policy abroad
that would best contribute to the
attainment of our foreign policy
objectives.
It should be emphasized again
that the latter requires much
more than foreign economic
measures, which by themselves
cannot be effective. It re-
qtlires adequate military defensive
strength, sound political and dip
lomatic policies. a forceful infor-
national program. and the con-
tinual strengthening of our own
economy.
A. What should be done about
aid to Western Europe and ia
pan?
The urgent need for rapidly
Evening star., 1950-11-13

mote our international trade and
financial objectives?
We are working toward the ulti-
mate goal of peace which rests
upon the firm foundations of an
expanding world economy. It is,
therefore, important that we con-
tinue our efforts to encourage world
trade and capital investment
throughout the world. Only in this
way can the nations of the world
achieve rising standards of living
through sound and self-supporting
economies.
Despite the restrictions on trade
and payments, resulting from per-
sistent dislocations and Government
policies, or which are likely to be-
come necessary under the strain OF
rearmament, 1t is still possible and
necessary to make progress in the
direction Of a system of multilat-
eral and non-discriminatory trade.
We must, therefore, continue to
work for such system. We must
try to establish an adequate system
of international payments. We
should encourage other countries to
adopt the necessary monetary and
fiscal measures which can assure
sound currencies and obviate the
need for direct trade restrictions.
We must make sure that our own
house Is in order-that we have
eliminated unnecessary barriers to
imports, and that our policies in
such fields as agriculture and ship
ping are so adjusted that they DO
not impose undue burdens on world
trade. In addition, our intensified
need for goods in the stort-term
future makes it desirable to remove
barriers to imports as far as pos
sible in order to augment supplies
and alleviate upward pressure on
prices.
The United States occupies a
central position in world agricultural
trade, both as an exporter and as
an importer. Our policies in this
field are of vital concern to other
nations. Similarly, as a major mari
time Nation, our policy with regard
to shipping subsidies directly affects
the ability OF other maritime ma
tions to earn dollars in international
trade. In both cases conflicts tend
to arise between considerations of
domestic and of foreign objectives.
Recommended Action.
For these reasons, the following
recommendations are made:
IA. The United States should con-
tinue to work for the elimination
of discriminatory trade and ex-
change practices through the gen.

sible import embargoes imposed
for other than sanitary or similar
reasons, and in the interim apply
their restrictions in a less rigid
manner.
tB) Not encourage increases in
the domestic production of crops
which have to be protected not
only by quotas and tariffs but also
by direct subsidies to producers.
IS. With respect to our ship
ping industry, we should limit the
use Of Government subsidies or
other protective measures to the
amounts necessary to maintain
the operation of shipping facili-
ties required for national security.
The United States should negoti-
ate with other governments to re-
move cargo preferences and other
similar types Of discrimination.
E. How should our foreign eco
nomic programs be administered? :?
1t is continuously necessary to
relate the use of resources re-
quired by foreign economic pro-
grams to other United States
needs, and to the capacity Of our
economy. We must not lose sight
of the fact that our economic
health is itself vital to attaining
the objectives of the free world.
In the critical period ahead, when
United States resources will be
severely strained. United States
aid must be channeled to those
areas and for those purposes
where reasonable performance in
the political and economic fields
can be achieved.
It is important, from this
standpoint as well as from others,
to develop as far as possible, a
cooperative and multilateral ap-
proach to foreign programs, no.
tably through the United Nations
and associated organizations. In
the case of some programs, such
an approach may be essential for
accomplishing the basic purpose.
We should recognize that other
countries have contributed and
will increasingly contribute to the
achievement Of objectives mutu-
ally shared.
Consistency Required.
1t is also important to improve
our own methods and organization
for carrying on foreign economic
programs. We need high degree
Of continuity and consistency in
legislative and administrative ac-
ton, and we need a better organ
ization within the executive branch.
AS the Importance of our foreign
economic policy has grown, its COM
