Nixon faces fight on Trade legislation by Frank butter Washington president Nixon faces a Long and difficult conflict with Congress on Trade with the soviet Union. At the same time Nixon s relations with the russian leadership will be in a state of suspense which could affect a great Many other outstanding issues Between the major Powers. The Trade legislation approved by the ways and Means committee of the House of representatives this week 4s the cause of these problems which will probably last Well into 1974. The committee gave Nixon much of the Power he sought when he submitted his Trade proposals to Congress last april but it walked at special Good could enter the us at the lowest prevailing Tariff rate at present under terms established at the height of the cold War in 1951, communist countries Are subject to High tariffs Only Yugoslavia and House Poland have been granted most favored status since 1951, the higher taxes for example mean that russian Vodka car Ries a Tariff of a gallon while Vodka from other coun tries is taxed at a gallon in october 1972, Nixon negotiated a Trade agreement with Russia in which most favored nation status was promised in return for payment of some outstanding lend lease debts accumulated after the end of the second world War. This is what Nixon was re Ferring to when he complained on thursday that this nation favors for the soviet Union. J is committed to seeking most the draft Bill drawn up from the outlines of Nixon s propos als allows the president considerable leeway and discretion i n negotiating International Trade reforms and in protect ing the . Economy from vagaries of behaviour by other world trading nations. The discretion is not As great As Nixon sought and it is subject to intervention and limitation by Congress. But in Gener Al the president and his officials who conduct International negotiations Are pleased. The legislation could be de scribed As Liberal with some conservative reservations. The president is not Givan the Blank Cheque he sought to manipulate tariffs and other Trade barriers but he would have the Power to negotiate reductions Over the next five years and he could impose surcharges to offset deficits in the . Balance of payments. The import surcharge a phrase fraught with apprehension in Ottawa since 1971 when favored nation treatment for the soviet one of Nixon s major prob lems heightened by the water g a t e mess has been that Congress docs not necessarily recognize that what the pres ident does is on behalf of this but the specific reason for denying the soviet Union what it wants is congressional out rage about Russia s emigration restrictions especially As they apply to jews. More recently members of Congress have also demanded More Freedom of expression within the soviet Union citing the persecution of prominent intellectuals who have dared to dissent. The legislation approved by a vote of 20 to five in the ways and Means committee would Grant most favored nation trading treatment Only to countries that recognize the right of emigration and Only for periods o three years subject to review. Nixon took unilateral action to i the committee has asked the i protect the u a. Economy from Iii use of representatives to imports would he limited to i consider this clause of the leg periods of 150 Days and a Max-1islatlon separately this sets mum rate of 15 per cent under up a full scale debate Proba the newly drafted legislation. W next week on the soviet there would be greater Banc question fits than Nixon sought Howe although the House of repro or to . Workers and Busin esses adversely affected Competition from imports. By controversial tax changes which could have affected . Investment including substantial . Involvement in the Canadian Economy have been completely eliminated by the House committee. These proposals by Nixon would have increased taxes on . Firms getting benefits from other countries and especially on firms which run away to manufacture or process goods which find their Way Back into the . Market. Nixon described the Legisla Tion in general As highly re but he did not hide his bitterness at losing his bid for loosening restrictions on Trade with Russia. What he wanted to do was Grant Musl favored nation treatment to the soviet Union. This would mean that russian Senta Tives has been More susceptible to presidential influence than the Senate the de Bate would be an invitation to make the most favored nation provision tougher rather than weaker. Already lying in wait is what is known As the Jackson Vanik amendment named after its sponsors Democrat Henry Jackson of Washington state in the Senate and Charles 0. Vanik a Democrat from Ohio in the House. This would deny Export import credits and investment guarantees As Well As most favored nation status to coun tries which impose barriers to emigration. It is said to have majority support in both sen ate and House. Among its House supporters is Hep. Wil Bur Mills Democrat Arkansas the powerful chairman of the ways and moans committee who although ill was Able to exert a considerable influence in absent a on the Trade legis i a 11 o n drafted by his col leagues. The president and his friends will be exerting All the influence in their Power to turn the around and the debate will be a loud one. All does not begin and end in the House of representatives. The Senate has not Ven begun committee scrutiny of Trade legislation. It May take its cues from the. House but it is Likely that the Senate will want a full scale debate As Well As committee hearings on the whole Trade it is prepared to hold a vote. This is Likely to postpone final action at least until Early in 1974. Meanwhile the ideological de Bate will probably continue to flow depending partly on what happens in the soviet Union. Russia has already easier its c migration restriction for jews although not permanently. At the same time party Leader. Leonid Brezhnev has warned the . About interfering in Russia s internal affairs. There is no big sign yet of a setup on the repression of Freedom of expression in the soviet Union. It is possible that the rus sians is they want to maintain detente and if they Are Desper ate enough for . Technology and markets will act to solve the problem themselves. If so it would be a startling Victory for the . Congress in the rarefied atmosphere of world affairs. There also remains the Opportunity for Nixon and his co Horts especially the new Secre tary of state Henry Kissinger and Treasury Secretary George Shultz to work a Way out through negotiation with the russians. Shultz has just spent the week in Russia explaining the complexities of american democracy and trying to placate soviet leaders. Part of the process is in the nature of a fait a comply. Shultz says thai . Trade with the e x t i n g discriminatory will probably reach billion this year which is More than five times the total of two years ago. Part of this however is some million Worth of at the same time . Businessmen Are rapidly increasing their contacts in Moscow where the . Embassy has expanded its commercial staff and facilities. Among the projects which have attracted interest is development of siberian natural Gas for Lique fiction and Export by tankers to the . And Japan. The sums of Money involved would be enormous including Loans and guarantees by the . Export import Bank amounting to several billion dollars. However the . Appetite for Energy producing fuels is such that Domestic attitudes on doing business with the russians might change if a cold Winter dramatizes fuel shortages. At the moment though the immediate Prospect is the de Bate coming shortly in the House of representatives. There has obviously be ii some Amel ionization of protectionist fears and Nixon May Well win reasonably Broad negotiating Powers for general Trade liberalization. His prospects on Trade with the soviet Union do not look so Good. Man critical after crash a Man was reported in critical condition in the general Centre after being hit by.
