NEW APPROACH. In an effort
to help break the logjam now
choking world trade, Senator w.
Kerr Scott has proposed what he
call a plan for a world Food
Bank"
Under his plan, free countries
of the world would set up a food
bank along the lines of the Inter-
national Bank for Reconstruction
and Development.
Under Senator SCOTS plan,
countries with abundances of food,
fiber and other agricultural prod
ucts would loan needy countries,
through the world food bank, food
and other raw material to fight
hunger and famine.
Such a plan, Scott said, would
permit countries with over sup
plies of food to get it to areas
where hunger is runping rampant.
"And it would't be give-away
program" he said. "That's what
I like about the bank approach TO
the problem. 1t would be a bust
ness-like way of getting wider
distribution of the worlds food
and fiber production. The same
approach is working very we'll as
to financial needs through the in
ternational bank. If it can work
with dollars, it can work with
food
Scott said world food bank
would go a long way toward turn
ing hack the tide of communism.

TRADE. The old question of
what to do about foreign trade is
one of the toughest and most con-
troversial issues facing this ses-
sion of Congress.
A general Tightening Of the
domestic economy has thrown
considerable support behind the
high-tariff school of thought. The
so-called "protectionists" argue
that high tariffs are needed to
keep cheap, foreign-produced
products off the American market
at a time when competition is
keen among domestic producers.
STOCKS. The argument over
trade policy is taking place under
unique circumstances. Sentiment
for high tariffs is increasing at
time when SURPRISES are piling up
