Toward free Trade special arrangement with London news chronicle by Paul Bateau London i am going to stick my neck right out with a prediction of Good tidings from the american economic front. It is that by the end of 1953 the United states will be much nearer to being a free Trade nation than they Are today. If that prediction comes True we can really take heart we can assume that the kind of world of expanding Trade Freer currencies and greater co operation Between the two sides of the Atlantic which we have been trying to build for some years past has a very Fajr Chance of being established. But i shall be told Haven t you heard that the republicans won the election and that the Republican party is by Strong and Long tradition the party of High tariffs yes i know. But times have changed and times change party beliefs. The Republican party is very much the party of big Busi Ness. Take one look at the people chosen by president Eisenhower to be members of his Cabinet and you will see a King i of of successful Busi Ness men most of whom Inci dentally Are giving up in comes ranging up to say a year and taking the rate for the Job As head of a government depart rent about a year. Among them you will find George Humphrey head of a huge Hanna Iron and steel Empire soon to become Secretary to the Treasury. Then there is Charles e. Wilson head of motors the largest statement of policy of the Detroit Board of Commerce on United states foreign Trade and foreign Aid policies we Are convinced that the United states has reached a Point in its econ Omic development where High Protection philosophies Are contrary to the Best interests of Libor the con Sumer and motor manufacturing the world about to become Secretary of defence. We can assume that big Industry is truly in the Saddle and i am prepared to admit that in the past Industry in the United states was protectionist. It grew up behind Tariff Walls and in its infant Industry stage it depended on that Protection. This infancy has however been left far behind. It should be realized that for some time past the interests of United states Industry the Selish interests if you like have clamoured not for Protection free Trade. Big Industry in the United states is not afraid of Competition for imports. The motor car manufacturer in that coun try would not lift a Finger to keep up any Tariff on imports of foreign cars. What he fears what he is afraid of and that applies to All big business in the states is that the rest of the world will not have enough dollars to buy Ameri can goods. Big Industry in the United 1 states has become minded and is therefore becoming a convinced free trader because it understands that foreigners will be unable to buy american goods unless the United states is prepared to let in More foreign goods.
