Importing Textiles
And Exporting Jobs
In remarks concerning imports
of foreign-made textiles,
the observation has
been made that every yard of
cloth brought into the United
States means a yard less that
would be produced by American
employees in American
mills.
Recently, however, a new
aDDl*oach to tho nrnhlom was
made. It is this:
Regardless of how many
yards of cheap foreign textiles
are brought into the
United States, remember that
every 600 yards imported
means the loss of about a
week's work for an American
textile employee.
That work has been exported
? to Japan, Hong
Kong, India. Pakistan, Korea
or one of the other foreign
countries that buys American
cotton eight cents a pound
cheaper than our mills can
buy it and has it processed
by workers who make as
little as one-tenth an American
textile employees' salary.

What's Your
Tarriff I. Q.?
w w
The Dyes and Chemicals
Division of the DuPont Company
has compiled a brief
check list entitled "What's
Your Tariff I. Q.?" The list
brings out ten major points
about foreign trade and U. S.
foreign trade policies. Did
you know these tariff facts?
1. Since 1934, American tariffs
have been reduced 75
per cent.
2. U. S. tariffs now average
only five per cent.
3. Average British tariffs are
six times as great as those
of the United States.
4. More than 50 per cent of
U. S. imports are admitted
duty free.
5. Of 36 leading trading nations
of the world. 28 have
higher tariffs than does
the United States.
6. Japanese imports into the
United States in 1960 will
approximate one billion
dollars.
7. The tariff on foreign cars
sold in this country is 8U_,
per cent.
8. The British tariff on
American cars going into
that country is 30 per cent.
9. Approximately 75 per cent
of the watches sold in the
United States are imported.
10. The average hourly earnings
in manufacturing in
the United States exceed
average hourly European
earnings by 400 per cent.
