Rep. Noah Mason of lUinola the ether day took isane with claim that Reciprocal Tariff Treaties promote world peace, pointing out that in the 21 years U.8. has been entangled in these matters the long Spanish Civil War, World War II, the Sino Japanese War, the Rouian-Finnish War, Korea, eight years ef wsr in In- do-China, frscssses between England and Egypt, between Pakistan and India have taken place. see Rep. Cleveland Bailey of West Virginia states that when Con gress originally passed flrst Re ciprocal Trade Treaty it was not the intent to pass power to State Department to engage in a "morass of political intrigue.” * • * Rep. Robert Mollohsn, also of West Virginia, gave a long dis cussion, in which he introduced extensive material showing the damage that already low V.S. tariff rates are working on Am erican industry and business. • • o For example, it was stated the billions U.S. taxpayers have poured into foreign relief has done nothing to help average citi zen, while building up big foreign interests. In Britain in 1938 aver- © National FM.ration of Indapandaot Boalnaaa age wages were 37% of U.S. wages, in 1952 this declined to 28%. In France the decline has been from 43.3% to 31%, in Ger many from 46.6% to 22% and in HoUand from 41.32% to 20.4%. Thus, foreign aid programs have depressed living standards of Europeans while building their monopolies to exceed 1938 pro duction levels. * * * It was also pointed ont daring Co.i;.-rssmsn Moilohnn’s discus sion that 32 man Committee for Economic Development that is strongly behind tariff slashing, only has one member who would be hurt by lower tariffs, and he and one other cast only votes against recommendation. • * * In American pottery business, be stated, man hours worked in the industry dropped from 25,- 700,000 in 1948 to 16,700,000 In 1953, while sales dropped 25%. « • * Yet china imports from Japan increased from 266,0M dosen to 3,915,M0 dosen between 1941 and 1953, Imports from Ger many increased from 118.9M dosen in 1948 to 441,M0 dosen in 1953, imports from England in creased from 188,000 dosen in 1947 to 441,000 dosen in 1953. In 1935, when Reciprocal Trade Treaties were Jnst getting under way, only 39,000 dosen were im ported from England. * * * This is but one of several score industries already being dam aged by too low tariffs 0 • 0 Yet, as seversl Congressmen point out, it is now songht to give the Secretary of State more powers to go to sn international tariff convention in Geneva to farther give away more Ameri can Jobs, more American busi nesses, without those workers, or businessmen having n voice, or representation in deciding their fntnre.
