The charter lays Down a code conduct for government importing and exporting to eliminate in Rief a Gox Ternent engaging in foreign Trade must conduct it a purely business basis. It must buy at the lowest Price offered in the world Market and sell at the highest. In making a Deal if. Must Call tenders and accept the most advantageous Price offered without regard to any political consideration. For example if Britain wants to buy. Wheat and the United states offers a lower Price than Canada Britain must buy the american wheat. All such deals must cover a relatively Brief period so. That they can be constantly revised to take account changing prices. Cartels Are not to be outlawed As the United states and Canada hoped when Tey went to London. As most countries do not object to the principle cartels the charter attempts Only to discriminate be tween Good i and bad cartels. Good cartels May operate. Bad cartels Are to be suppressed. This result it is hoped will be achieved by the operations the proposed International Trade organization. Any country which believes it is suffering from the in just operations a Cartel May a peal to the Trade organization and if its complaint is sustained the nation operating the Cartel agrees to consider Steps cure its evils. Actually world opinion articulated through the Trade organisation is counted to control dangerous Cartel practices but then will be no Legal machinery to Deal with them. The charter provides for commodity agreements covering a few products like wheat Cotton rub Ber and Coffee which Are frequently in Over Supply but such agree ments Are restricted. They must be for a Short term. Consuming coun tries must be represented in negotiating them. They must cover Only primary products and cannot touch manufactured products. This is indeed the charter Lor a new trading world but it. Includes one Little known provision which could largely undermine Canada s plans for Trade expansion. This provision inserted in the charter by the United states allows any nation to apply quantitative con Rols agricultural imports at any time. For example ii american Farmers Felt that too much Cana Dian farm produce was moving in to the United states after tariffs had been reduced the United states government could suddenly restrict these imports by a quota regulation and thus strangle Cana Dian exports overnight. Since Canada is chiefly concerned with expanding its farm exports to the american Market such a device could prove devastating to the Canadian Economy. It is assumed by american officials therefore that Canada will insist in its proposed Tariff treaties with the United states that the quota shall be applied Only within fixed limits. But the United states will. Not abandon its right to impose quotas As an ultimate protective step simply because the congressional farm Blo c is Strong enough to in Sist this arrangement which is quite contrary to the whole non discriminatory principle the charter. From the charter and. From the timing the various stages in next year s negotiations it is Plain that the whole project world Trade will depend primarily . The Spring i Tariff conference. It will fest s Abil Ity to Start Commerce moving again and if the world fails in this test a descent into the self containment and Trade stagnation the 20 s Willie Gin again. It that prior to the Tariff conferences april British countries will meet in Lon Don to consider How far they can relax the Commonwealth prefer enc system in return for Tariff reductions in other countries especially the United states.
