Washington Letter 80 By Robert Nelson TuYlor

National Highway Users Confer
ence, 20 states and the District of
Columbia permit drivers to pass
other vehicles going in the same
direction on either the right or left,
while 16 forbid passing on the right,
and three permit it only when over
taken vehicle is making a left turn.
Likewise, the states have different
ideas on speed limits, headlight
dimming, arm and hand turn
signals and painted center-stripes
While we have always been strong
for states rights-this confusion
denies to the citizens of all states
the right of equal protection wher-
ever they may drive. The highway
toll of death and blOodshed from
bad manners, bad judgement,
mechanical failure and recklessness
is shocking enough, without adding
that of innocent bewilderment.>
Considering the traffic data, ex-
perience records and safety special
lists available today, the failure of
the states to work out a uniform
traffic code and a uniform road
marking system is inexcusable A
single national conference of state
highway and motor vehicle author
tiles could solve the whole problem.
Or will no one speak first?
Salt For The Doves Tail
Trade, not aid" is a fine, re-
sounding slogan, according to Her
man Cone, president of Cone Mills
Corporation of Greensboro, N. c.,
but it is being abused by those who
say we must tear down our tariffs
so others can trade with us. Our
tariffs, says this leading Southern
industrialist, are far lower" than
those of most countries, and our
markets the easiest of all world
markets to enter.
And Mr.. Cone would like to ex-
pand another popular slogan. "The
truth is that trade is more than a
twO-way street." he says. Its a
highway system of articles RUM
ing in many directions and with
lots of criss-crOssing roads when it
works normally. Commerce is tied
up in traffic jam today because sc
many nations have tUued the ave-
nues into dead-end streets"
Governments of such countries, ~
he charges, try to squeeze all they
can out of trade, by forcing goods
into world markets and at the same
time building high trade walls
around their borders. When you
think of the worldwide network of
restrictions they have set up, you
can see that even the complete re-
moval of American tariffs would
still leave the problem unsOlved. -
Milford chronicle., 1953-11-27

dous shift from farm to suburbs and
that an entirely new way of living
and lots of new wants have been
created. They remind me that the
number of children in our popu-
Iatlon has increased $50 since 1910
and that we have 500 more high
school graduates in our admit
population since 1910 who pre-
sumably have much more highly
developed wants than the non-high-
schoOl graduates. Some say such
factors as these are dynamic enough
10 mold our economy high.
Against the argument that we
have more people with more edu-
cation and with more discretionary
buying power than ever before. are
such realities as these: Through
the early months of 1853. shoe
production was about seven million
pairs ahead of potential consump-
ton, and the industry could easily
have produced $3.50 more shoes if
they could have been sold. Or. take
the automobile industry. At mid
year, 47%o more cars had been
turned out than in the same period
in 1852. But sales rose only 1870.
Recent cutbacks and intensive SELL
ing have temporarily reduced this
spread. But let us face the facts:
The Government has cut defense
programs; inventories have been
stOckpiling; industrial expansion
has passed it's peak; Industrial
building is on the decline. What is to
happen to private building 1 will
discuss latter.
Milford chronicle., 1953-11-27

To open up these blind alleys,
Mr.. Cone believes, must be the aim
of President EisenhOwers special
economic policy commission. But in
formulating new trade policy
Government advisors will be making
a dangerous and perhaps fatal
mistake" if they start with the
idea that the American tariff lis the
major cause of world trade difficult
ties.
He points out further that the
dollar gap" you are still hearing
about, was closed some time ago,
even though the foreign nations are
still pleading dollar shortage like
the shepherd boy in the fable crying
Wolf. In fact, he says, excluding
military aid shipments which
should not be confused with nor
NAL, commercial trade, we are cur
rently buying about two and a half
billion dollars more goods and SER
vices a year from abroad than the
foreigners are buying from US!
While Mr.. Cone admits our trade
policy is by no means perfect, he
thinks that what little tariff pro-
lection remains for industries like
textile manufacturing is highly
important, the last remaining layer
of protective armor for the living
standards of American workers and
their families"
An honest, workable system of
trade equality" Mr.. Cone assures
us, will permit international trade
problems to solve themselves-and
without need of "give-away pro-
grams" or "Of sacrificing our
American jobs and living stand
ards"
/ 1t also sounds like a pretty good
way to sneak up on that dove of
+ peace we're trying so hard to catch.
