while the United States is party
to GAIT, it has never been SUBJ
mitted to the Congress.
Originally. the machinery to adj
minister GAIT was to be con-
tanned in an international Trade
Organization" (ITO). ITO was to be
an arm of the United Nations with
the goal of "a balanced and expand
ing world economy" Substituted
for the concept of free initiative
was the idea of a planned economy
and political control of production,
trade and monetary matters. These
socialistic celebrations doomed ITO
for failure, and it was subsequently
abandoned. Yet, the thinking of
GAIT persists, and the dangers of
so-called free trade" are neg
lected.
The similarity between the dis
carded ITO and OTC is striking.
U. s. membership in OTC requires
Congressional approval, but the
real point in question is whether
or not American jobs and indus
tries shall be subject to the de-
cisions of an international body or
to those of the Congress of the
United States

1t is again proposed that the
United States give its support to
the formation of an international
Organization for Trade Cooper
alton" In the variable climate of
world affairs, the old log-rolling
process of establishing tariffs is
outmoded, but most will agree that
tariffs should be predicated upon
sound principles approved by the
Congress. This view reflects pres
ent day concern for the impact of
overindulgent reciprocal trade poll
cies.
In recent years, the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act has been
extended on a gradual, selective
and reciprocal basis, and lately,
the perils of foreign competition
to American industry have come in
for public and Congressional scru-
tiny. With many countries of the
community of free nations enjoy
ing an unusual prosperity and with
wage scales in these same coun-
tries from one-tenth to one-half
of the American workingman, there
are those who still argue that, not
outstanding the effect upon our
own industries, the gates to all
American markets must be thrown
open. Ignored in these arguments
is the fact that our tariffs are now
the lowest in history and among
the lowest in the world.
Even so, there again comes 10
the Congress a new version of an
old proposal to create an Organ
ization for Trade Cooperation"
(OTC) which would fully formalize
the General Agreement on Tariffs
and Trade" tGATT) born in 1947
with the blessing of the NeW-Fair
Deal. GAIT outlaws traditional
rules for regulating international
trade and proposes a scheme for
attaining free trade utopia
through the reduction of tariffs on
multi-natiOn basis. 1t attempts to
consolidate the opposing trade
policies of some 35 countries, and

EDITOR ON MAIN STREET

Mr.. Mahaffey, which is a new
one on me. l never knew before
that Mr.. Claus had any rela-
tives.
I met with st. Nick's two
Chardon representatives for cof-
fee the otherday. Since this is
the first Yuletide season that
Sputniks have been flying a.
round in space, our main topic
of conversation was what inter-
ference those objects would
have on the regular Christmas
eve delivery, if any.
The first satellite was launch
ed successfully only two months
ago, although it seems much
longer than that, and the Rus
slams now have two of those
spheres floating around up there
in the heavens.
The United States climaxed
it's succession of missile blund-
ers last week with the most sem
sational of them all when Van
guard collapsed at take-off and
buried itself in a tomb of flames.
To many Americans these are
times which try mems souls.
However, as my friends from
the north tell me, almost all
times try the souls of the men
who live in them.
Santa made one thing very
clear: the regular delivery will
be made this Christmas eve,
SputnikS or no Sputniks. AS long
as Mr.. Claus can deliver, on
schedule, the spirit of Christmas
into our homes, these cannot be
dark days. tp

ASSISTANT SANTA CLAUS
ES(or perhaps the plural should
be Santa Clai') have made the
trip from their North Pole home
stead to the village of Chardon
again this holiday season, and
no reports of interference from
either of the two Sputniks en-
route have been received.
AS in the past, Santa has sent
his representatives to be with
us prior to the bit night so we
can register with them what we
would like to see under our
Christmas tree next Wednesday
morning.
Chardon is a growing COM
munity, and nothing could be
more indicative of this than the
fact that old st. Nick has sent
two of his assistants to take our
requests this year, rather than
one as in the past. Who knows,
maybe one of the two in Char
don this season is the real Mr..
Claus. l, for one, never could
tell the difference between the
real person and his assistants.
In any case, we have two jolly
gents roming our village this
season. One, flown here from
the artic through the courtesy of
the Main st. merchants, is stay
ing nights with Cliff Manchest-
er of Chardon, an old friend.
The other, brought from the
northland by Chardon Plaza
storekeeperS, is staying with
