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. TRULUCK,
"Secretary"
