. Our Growing Trade Barriers
Weaken Free Worlds Unity

wise, the American aid that keeps
them going must continue to
come out of the American tax
payers pocket.
In addition, every move toward
increased us. trade restrictions
is used now as ammunition in the
Communist attack against us.
The Communists are propagan-
dizing that our only interest in
aiding others is to assure bigger
markets for ourselves. They tell
other people that this is our aim,
that we are slamming our doors
against the products of other
people.
More directly, the Department
points out, our own security re-
quires the freeing of trade from
unreasonable barriers. The man
power and resources of the United
States alone are not sufficient.
The United States needs to COM
bine its strength with it's allies to
make the best possible joint use
of manpower and resources. More
trade is the best way to assure
this.
But trade restrictions tend to
prevent such cooperation. They
force other countries to misuse
scarce resources, to waste man
power, and to isolate their econ
omies.
Most Americans, of course, real
ize that the well-being of free
peoples goes hand in hand with
how much is bought and sold in
markets outside of each country.
For example:
= In some cases, the foreign
trade of our allies represents the
equivalent of from 20 to 40 per-
cent of their total national in
come each year.
= Our reliance on trade is like
wise heavy, though the proper
ton is not so great. For not only
do we ship abroad tremendous
quantities of our goods, but also
year by year our imports become
more important to our way Of
living.
Just how significant our i'm
ports are to the health of Ameri-
can industry was pointed out
recently by the Presidents Mate
rails Policy Commission. Sum-
ming up on raw-material needs
for the next Is years, the Com
mission concluded that the amaz-
ingly efficient American indus
tries are becoming increasingly
dependent upon raw materials
produced outside the United
States.
The Commission also recognized
the growing pressure here for
"protectionism"-a descriptive
term for import barriers-and it
condemned what it called our
self-imposed blockade"

That blockade has been due, in
part, to the efforts of domestic
groups looking only to their own
interests. The pressureS of these
groups, the Department says,
must be scrutinized in the light of
the general interests of the Unit
ed States. In many cases they
conflict with our general inter-
ests, and, when they do, the latter
should prevail.
The Department of State points
out one barrier, the "cheese en-
bargo," to illustrate just what
trade restrictions will do. The
curtailment of foreign cheese i'm
ports has had these effects:
/. 1t has seriously impaired the
economic and political situations
in poor regions of Southern Italy,
Sicily, and Sardinia, where pro-
duction and export of cheeses to
the United States represented a
principal means of livelihood
2. 1t has made it necessary for
us to continue to give away more
dollars to keep these areas buy
ing our products.
8. 1t has meant that they have
less money with which to sustain
their own efforts at recovery and
defense.
Unreasonable import barriers
suggest this paradox: 1t is as
though American workers in De-
troit, producing trucks for our
NATo partner, Holland, were re-
fuSi1g to buy Dutch cheese. To
keep Holland buying the trucks,
the Detroit workers would have
to slip dollars into the pockets of
the Netherlanders.
That process, the Department
says, is, of course, economic nom
sense and is sure to create prob
lens in world affairs. Yet it is
just about what Americans are
forced to do by unreasonable
trade restrictions. %
Moreover, and what is very i'm
portant to all Americans, the
process binders normal business
operations. 1t causes Government
interference" with the usual
trade of farmers, businessmen,
and consumers in doing business
with foreign buyers and sellers.
The Department emphasizes
that the Alternatives gradual
elimination of trade barriers
offers the only sound solution.
For the major trade problem of
other countries is their lack of
dollars; they believe we can help
solve that problem by assuring
them a flair shake" at earning
American cash.
BY reducing our restrictions
and thus helping our allies to
find an opportunity to compete
in our market, we will enable
them to earn more dollars and to
pay their own way. AS a Depart
ment economic expert put it,
Trade, not aid, is the best way
to strengthen the free world"

WASHINGTON. - Nineteen coun-
tries, each a friend and ally of
the United States, have protested
to the Department of State that
they are bewildered by various
actions on our part which either
threaten or reduce their trade in
the American market.
They are bewildered, they say,
at the inconsistency of our block
ing trade (imports), while we are
encouraging them to produce
more and sell more in the United
States.
In effect, their point is this: To
shield American industries from
foreign competition, we seem to
be undermining our efforts to
promote economic recovery, po-
litical stability, and military pre-
parednesS in the rest OF the free
world. Unreasonable trade bar
riers, they say, weaken the
strength and unity of free ma
tionS.
This feeling among our allies,
the Department of State points
out, is very significant-and not
only with respect to trade rela-
tionShips. For the inconsistency
in our trade policy raises ques-
tions in the minds of other peo-
pie with regard to all our pro-
grams in the free world.
The practical effect of tighter
restrictions on our imports, with
out doubt, is to hurt both the
United States and friendly coun-
tries. For, the Department of
State emphasizes, such barriers
tend to diminish
l. The chances of cutting down
our foreign aid.
2. The opportunities for i'm
proving the use of manpower and
resources among the free nations.
8. The livelihood of free peo-
pies. o
In addition, there is an impact
On our leadership in world affairs.
Since trade is the ifeblood of the
worlds economy, one sure result
will be to lessen our leadership in
all things If we do not support
the movement among our allies
toward freer trade.
For several years the United
States has been aiding our allies
through the Marshall Plan and
the Mutual Security Program.
This help to others is based on
the assumption that they even
tually will recover and will then
be in position to sell us enough
to pay for what they need from
us. o
1t is apparent, says the State
Department, that if other coun-
tries are to become Self-support-
ing, trade and not aid should
become the means whereby they
can obtain more dollars. Other

Polio Drive
Jan. 2 to 81
Opens Here

The month-long 1858 March of
Dimes was launched locally and
throughout the nation last week
with polio fighters everywhere
still Keeling under the impact of
polio's severest epidemic.
An estimated million and a half
Americans are set to raise more
money than ever before to pro-
vide vital ammunition for the
fight.
1t is estimated that 10000 pa
tients received direct financial aid
from the March of Dimes in 1882;
OF these, over one-half were
stricken in previous years but
still needed and received help
66% Stricken Since I94s
OF the 100000 cases reported in

Thus, in spite of a record March

BRING NO
BUSINESS BOOM

NEW YIRK (GAobaD -
Hotels, rooming houses and pri-
vate homes in Harlem absorbed
their share of the 1885, 900 Jeho-
vah's Witnesses who came here
from all parts of the world to at
tend the eight-day international
Convention Of the religious sect.
Meetings were held at Yankee
Stadium in the Bronx. Months
ago, members Of the local congre-
cations canvassed their neighbor-
hoods in an effort to find lodg-
ings for some Of the expected Wis
itors. In addition to the thousands
quartered within the city, many
thousands more were housed in
trailer camps in New Market,
New Jersey.
The visitors attending the world
assembly represented 90 foreign
countries, and came from all over
the United States. Included in this
number were 5000 foreign mis-
sionaries. Since the sect is well
integrated, it was hardly possible
to obtain figures as to the num-
Der of Negroes here for the meet
ings, or to determine how many
Negroes are members Of the sect.
In visiting the Yankee Stadium,
it was obvious that the vast ma
jority of the visitors were White,
but in the throngs Of Witnesses
that damned the Harlem streets,
the vast majority were Negroes.
These throngs of people meant
very little in terms Of increased
business in the Harlem area,
however. Unlike fraternal and
social organizations, and even
other religious conventions, the
Witnesses maintain strict
schedule of attendance at meet
ings, or canvassing and mission
airy work in the community. Dele
gates have been housed as in
extensively as possible, and the
Witnesses themselves cooperated
in cooking and serving thousands
If meals every day right in the
Yankee stadium grounds.
Consequently, places of amuse-
ment, taverns and restaurants
have not felt the upsurging in
business usually felt when such
conventions come to town. Even
sightseeing and visits to educa-
tional institutions and points Of
historical interest, are kept to 8
minimum.
The Jehovah's Witnesses re-
port that the movement of the
Watchtower Bible and Tract So
ciety is steadily expanding al
over the world. One of the mos
interesting revelations was that
the movement is being carried or
underground In Siberia despite
