The Reciprocal trade agreements have been a definite part of our foreign trade policy for 14 years. If they were of any value in the past, they are of even more value now. But with an election a little more than four months off and congress trying to break a log jam of legislation, lengthy debate on the subject was impossible. Putting it backwards, the recip rocal trade agreement policy is this: If a country is prevented by a high tariff waU from selling to us, it can't get the dollars to buy from us. Or. if the country has borrowed money from us, it can't get the dollars to pay us back. That's what hap- p en ed a fte r World War I. and the break down in foreign trade was one of the great factors in bringing on depression. But that isn't the only thing that tariff walls do. They tend to force isolationism, extreme nationalism on a country and behind the tariff walls, as ex-Secretary of State Cor dell Hull used to say so often, grow the roots of war. tiling for which acknowledgement is due is a drug called furacin. Natural source of this drug is oat hulls, corncobs, bran and similar farm wastes. It is one of the fur fural series of chemicals, some of which are used in trades and indus try. In the very first trial with cocci diosis of chickens, furacin demon strated that it was equal to the well- "restrictions on or crippling of the trade agreements program would have very undesirable repercus sions. Discontinuance or impaia- ment would destroy consistency in United States policy and would undermine world confidence.” Former Republican presidential candidate Alfred E. Landon came out in favor of the three-year ex tension of the trade agreements act as urged by the administration. He said that failure to extend the act would be contrary to the Republican policy plank of 1944. Frequent public opinion polls have shown that the majority of the people favor trade treaties. In fact, persons who know what trade treaties are vote better than eight to one to retain them.
