Lawmakers Debate Reciprocal Trade Act In Radio Forum

Robertson of Virginia, Simpson of Pennsylvania Disagree on Treaties

Extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreement Act, pending before Con- gress, was debated last night by Rep- resentative Robertson, Democrat, of Virginia and Simpson, Republican, of Pnnsylvania, speaking over the Na- tional Radio Forum, arranged by The Star and broadcast from Station WMAL over the Blue Network.

Mr. Robertson said that congres- sional failure to approve the legisla- tion renewing the trade program “will be interpreted by other United Nations as an unmistakable sign that the Atlantic Charter and the pledges of co-operation by President Roose- velt and Prime Minister Churchill are mere scraps of paper.

Mr. Simpson replied that the pro- posed renewal would give the Presi- dent “a blank check so vast in its implications that when filled in by these so-called trade agreements, it may represent a check against the interest of every factory worker, farmer, miner, housewife, manufac- turer and businessman in the United States.” He added that Congress “is asserting itself” and is “no longer issuing blank signed checks to the President to be further delegated by him to bureaucrats.”

Declares Public Approves. Mr. Robertson recalled that Con- |

gress approved the original program i in 1934 and later extended it. He added:

“Some opponents of the program have sought to befog the issue bv making it appear that the people of the United States have had noth- ing to say about the action that has been taken under this power that Congress, representing the peo- ple, has seen fit to delegate to the President. They sometimes seem purposely to forget that the Presi- dent, too, is responsible to the peo- ple. They seem to forget that be- fore any agreement is negotiated full public announcement is made well in advance, so that all interested ! parties may be heard."

Of utmost importance. Mr. Rob- ertson said, “is the care with which United States tariff rates have been reduced.

“Those who are intent upon ob- scuring the facts invite fear to take the place of reason when they make such misleading statements as that recently made before the Ways and Means Committee to the effect that the ‘American tariff has been cut ! 43 per cent under this program.’ What they neglect to say is that this figure is computed on the basis of imports only of those items upon which duties have been cut.

Figure Represents Average. “On the basis of all dutiable im-

ports, the average reduction amounts to only 31 per cent. They also I neglect to point out that this is an ; average figure. Some duties, such as those on whisky, sugar and pe- troleum, have been reduced 50 per cent. But. with regard to the latter two and certain others, protective quotas on imports have been im- posed so as to prevent a ‘flood’ of im- ports. Other rates, particularly those applying to more competitive im- ports, such as woolens, cigarette to-

bacco and cotton cloth, have been reduced by much less than 50 per cent,”

Mr. Simpson pointed out that he was opposed to extending the agree- ments without certain safeguarding amendments.

“Suppose,” he said, “the war ends in the next several months—an end devoutly to be desired. Immediately every nation in the world could begin shipping into the United States rub- ber, free of any import duty, rubber secured and processed by the cheap- est kind of coolie labor—rubber which would be in immediate com- petition with the wonderful syn- thetic rubber producing plants the Government is building today at a cost of over $700,000,000 to the Amer- ican taxpayer.

War I'psets Needs. “These plants are designed to take

care of the rubber needs of the future. They do and will employ

Lt. Col. A. D. Dahl Host at Dinner

Lt. Col. A. D. Dahl of the Nor- wegian Military Mission was host at dinner Tuesday evening at Ward- man Park Hotel, having as his guests of honor Gen. Emile Beth- ouart, head of the French Military Mission in the United States, and Mme. Bethouart. Gen. Bethouart was in command of the French and Polish expeditionary force in North- ern Norway in 1940, where Col. Dahl commanded a Norwegian group.

Other guests at the dinner were the Norwegian Ambassador and Mme. Munthe de Morgenstierne, Brig. Gen. and Mrs. Andrew Moses, Col. Ostgaard, aide to His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Olav of Norway, and Mme. Ostgaard; Col. O. Klingenberg. inspector general of the Norwegian Artillery, and Col. and Mme. Hyssong.

Also present were Commodore P. Askin and Mme. Askin, Col. O.

free American labor at high wages and they insure that never again will we be caught short of rubber in time of war."

Mr. Simpson rIso declared: "There is no competitive foreign trade to- day. International trade is war trade—it is lease-lend, rationed and controlled by governments. There is no business excuse whatever for these trade agreements now. We must not forget, however, that these agreements do tie our hands when it becomes necessary to protect our- selves against a flood of cheap for- eign-made goods in the postwar period.”

The Pennsylvania Representative maintained that trade agreements approved by Congress could be construed as expressive of our na- tional policy, but those made "by traveling political appointees, with- out congressional approval, may only mislead the contracting nation as to our intentions.”
