trade. Too often in the past,
officials said, the United States
has been clumsy in its relations

forms the core of demonstra-

President Kennedy has as

Mr.. Goldberg will try to develop
programs to neutralize anti
Americans and mobilize friends
of the United States in foreign
labor.
He developed contacts with
European labor during World
War II, when he helped organ
ize an espionage network of
democratic unionists.
The Government is counting
on American organized labor to
help win the friendship of for

Foreign labor will be a cru
cial factor in next years con-
gressional battle over reciprocal
trade legislation. Protection
lists argue that the United
States needs high tariffs to
offset competitive advantages
enjoyed by producers in low
wage countries.
Labor Department research
ers hope to counter these argyll
ments by demonstrating that
high fringe benefits and low
productivity boost foreign labor
costs, even where straight
wages are very low.
But officials concede that
Japan and other countries do
enjoy some competitive advan-
tage because of low labor costs.
The Government and American
labor leaders are using their
influence to raise foreign wages
gradually.
