This question that of extending Reciprocal Walter Shead Trade Agreements act for a period of three years and giving the President further authority to reduce tariffs another 50 per cent has developed into the hottest party fight to face the 79th congress. With Republicans generally agreed to oppose the extension of the act, the issue narrows down to three possible results: The act will be extended as presented to the congress or It will be extended In possibly some modified form, or It will be defeated and the tariff rates will revert to those prolaw vided by the Smoot-IIawle- y which were in effect prior to the Reciprocal Trade Agreement act that became effective in 1934. It seems to this reporter, however, that something more is involved in this fight for and against the Reciprocal Trade act than a viewpoint on the question of high or low tariffs. However you feel about tariffs, whether you are in favor of a high protectice tariff, or whether you favor the reciprocal agreements, the fact remains that during the past decade the principle of reciprocal trade agreements has become an essential and underlying basis of our foreign policy. The entire Good Neighbor policy in our relations with South and Central American countries is based upon the elimination of trade barriers and the reciprocal trade program. And these agreements have, in the eyes of these South American neighbors, become the most tangible and abiding manifestation of whether the United States is indeed, a good neighbor! Language of the reciprocal trade act is written into the Bretton Woods international monetary ifgreements for operation of the monetary fund is expected to help "remove trade barriers in favor of open or reciprocal trade agreements to provide free and open trade among member nations." Written Into Agreements. The principle of the reciprocal trade agreements is written into the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations for the removal of trade barriers, for the elimination of surpluses, .to expand international world trade, to expand production and consumption and to raise the standard of living in all countries. The principle of these trade agreements is written into the Atlantic Charter and into the Dumbarton Oaks agreements of the United States, acclaimed as the ground structure for international peace now under consideration at San Francisco. The same principles are written into the agreement reached at the recent conference in Mexico City. Also tied in with consideration of this most vital piece of legislation actually are the Bretton Woods agreements, also before the congress, the extension of authority of the Export-Impor- t Bank to finance United States Foreign Trade, and repeal of the Johnson act prohibiting loans to governments in default of their obligations to the U. S. So it is obvious that in the consideration of this reciprocal trade extension there is involved the very world cooperation which is being sought at the San Francisco conference. And to this writer the issue looms much bigger, relatively than the mere party question of high or low tariffs. There is no question but that the reciprocal trade agreements now in force between this nation and 28 other nations have aided in developing mutual confidence and trust and world cooperation on a plane never heretofore attained. The question uppermost is, would abrogation of these agreements create serious misgivings on the part of these countries concerning our future relations at this time when the future peace of the world is at stake. Trade experts of every political faith agree that an expanding international trade is the key to many important postwar problems. If we are going to produce abundantly both on farms and fAtories, for benefit of both producers and then there must be a constantly increasing change of goods snd services among nations. There can be no denying the fact that high tariffs do constitute trade barriers even if erected for the avowed purpose of "protecting American and American workers igainst foreign competition." the "" cnrren.

For instance, if a man loses the sight of an eye, the sight of the other eye invariably becomes stronger, just as when a person goes deaf in one ear, the hearing of the other ear becomes more acute. And if an arm or a hand is lost, the strength and skill of the remaining member becomes greater." "That's certainly true," said one young fellow to his neighbor, "for I've noticed that when a person has one short leg, the other is always longer."
