Lions Club (Continued from page one) pends to a large extent upon the textile industry and. whereas it seems that this entire industry is in grave danger of being se riously jeopardized by a recent tariff cut unless the President and Congress take immediate steps to set up a quota limiting imports, and whereas the Clinton Lions club has always been vi tally interested in the welfare of the business, industrial and civic life of Clinton and the surround ing area, be it resolved that the Lions club of Clinton go on rec ord as opposing the recent tariff cut and urging the President and ’ Congress to support a plan whereby a reasonable quota lim iting imports of textile product? be established as soon as pos sible.” Latter to President ‘The President “Washington, D. C. “Sir; “At a recent meeting, the members of the Clinton, South Carolina. Lions club, taking note of the recent reductions in tex tile tariffs negotiated by the United States State Department at Geneva, Switzerland, on June S, passed a resolution by unani mous vote, directing me to ex press the members’ grave con cern with regard to this decision and to urge every possible cor rective measure. “These drastic reductions in the interest of Japan constitute a stagggering blow to cotton farmers of the United States and to the cotton textile industry, ac tually threatening its very exist ence. Our cotton mills, which pay an average of $1.30 an hour, cannot compete with Japanese cotton mills, which pay 13c an hour. In the past United States tariffs have helped to equalize the 10 to 1 wage cost odds against our local industry. The Geneva agreement will raise these odds. “The livelihoods of millions of Americans stand to be jeopard ized by this devastating agree ment, including people directly engaged in textiles, thousands of people engaged in allied indus tries and dependent local busi nesses, and cotton farmers throughout the United States. The business life of Clinton, a typical Southern small town with population of 8,000. is cen tered around and dependent up- j on the payrolls of two textile mills, a shirt factory, a third textile mill located six miles from Clinton, and the cotton farmers in our area. Thus our entire local economy wall suffer irreparably if the damaging ef fects of this new tariff are al- low’ed to stand. “On behalf of the entire mem bership of the Clinton Lions club, I respectfully urge you, as Presi dent of the United States, in the interest of preserving a very vi tal segment of our economy to cause to be established a reason able quota system on foreign im ports of textiles as soon as pos sible before this country is flooded wiht cheaply produced materials from abroad. Respectfully yours, “WALTER A. JOHNSON, “President, REMBERT S.
