Trade and Aid
For some years now a number
of American indturtries, particul
arly textile and plywood, have suf
fered from competition of low-
wage foreign imports. The atti
tude of the Federal Government
and those outside the hard-hit
areas has been that only a few
industries and a few jobs, com
paratively speaking, were affect
ed; and in the “common good,”
these industries and persons could
shift co new products and new
lines of work.
Recent events indicate that
there may be reason to believe
that both the people of the coun
try and the Federal Government
are changing their attitude. The
change arises not from any clear
er understanding of the difficul
ties of the first industries affect
ed or the workers who have lost
their jobs already. Rather, the
change is caused by the increas
ing number of industries affected
and the shift in our over-all bal
ance of trade.
The steel strike has played a
major part in focusing attention
•on the grave dangers to our entire
economy from low-wage foreign
products. The steel industry is
feeling the first pangs of low-
wage imports. Since 1959, imports
of steel have increased from 300,-
OOO tons to 1,700,000—a rise of
467%. The domestic manufacture
of this steel would have provided
employment for 30,000 Americans.
But this is only half the story.
During the same period, our ex
ports have decreased 37% for a
total of 1,600,000 tons. Last year
we imported 83% more steel than
we exported. In addition, more
than 430,000 foreign cars were
sold in the United States in 1958,
which meant fewer jobs, not only
in the automotive industry, but
aalso in steel.
The steel strike has permitted
foreign producers to fhnd many
new customers in the United
States and in the world market
generally.
The principal factor responsible
for our poor competitive position
is the wage differential. The av
erage wage of the U. S. Steel
worker in 1958 was $3.03 per
hour, compared to 72 cents in
West Germany, 84 cents in Great
Britain and 42 cents in Japan.
Other factors contributing to
our unfavorable competitive posi
tion are our outmoded depreciation
allowances and high taxes. Unreal
istic reserves for replacement of
worn-out or out-dated machinery.
High taxes necessitate both high
profits and wages.
Americans have had to compete
all along with low-wage foreign
products, and until recent years
have done so successfully despite
the wage differentials. Historical
ly, our competitive advantage has
sprung from technical know-how
and higher quality of skill. In
the post-war period, the United
States graciously shared our
know-how with all nations, and
even went so far as to send Am
erican instructors to train foreign
labor. At least temporarily, our
technical know-how advantage has
been largely erased.
Despite all of our disadvantages,
our situation would not be nearly
so drastic were it not for other
factors. Principal among these is
our foreign aid program. Under
this program, there is an outflow
of dollars from the United States
of about $2.5 billion per year. In
addition, U. S. military expendi
tures abroad have been running
about $3 billion per year; and
with the encouragement of the
Government, there is an outflow
of private capital of about $2 bil
lion a year. Since our exports ex
ceed our imports only about $4.5
billion per year, we are now ex
periencing a net outflow of dol
lars to the tune of about $3 bil
lion per year. This is what has
finally brought the attention of
the Government to the fact that
something must be done to change
the situation, rather than the loss
of jobs by American workers.
Among other disadvantages with
which our domestic producers
h ave had to contend are trade
barriers against U. S. exports ap
plied while our import restric
tions were being reduced or abol
ished. Adminstration spokesmen
have now called for a change in
attitude by our foreign friends
and for a relaxation of restric*-
tions on U. S. exports. Also, they
have called on our allies to share
in supplying capital for the de
velopment of poorer countries,
which so far has been shouldered
almost wholly by the United
States.
The change in attitude is heart
ening, but, oh, so late and long
overdue. No lukewarm or delicate
approach by the United States
will suffice. Drastic reductions in
our foreign aid program are in
order—much more drastic than
made this year. Inflation must be
checked, and the line against in
creases in prices and general
wages held. If our pleas for bet
ter treatment of our exports are
not productive, we have no alter
native but to make our trade pro
gram “reciprocal” by retaliating
against offending countries with
import restrictions of our own.
Sincerely,
Strom Thurmond.

Last week our 4-H dairy Calf
Club members proved their efforts
during the year were not in vain.
In stiff competition with several
other counties our Newberry 4-H
Dairy Calf Club made out all
right at the Laurens County Fair.
This week our Dairy Calf Club
exhibits their animals at the New-
berry-Saluda Fair. If you don’t
get out on show day, at least get
by sometime during the week and
see their fine animals. Also give
them an encouraging pat on the
back. Getting ready and showing
cattle takes a lot of work. But
it’s all well worth while when
your own animal is placed at the
top of the class. What better way
to keep our young folks interested
in our important dairy industry
than by being an active member
of our County Dairy Calf Club?
Let them know their efforts are
worthwhile.
Here’s how our member placed
at Laurens:

mal, David Sease, 4th. Showman

Feeder Pig Sale—Success
or Failure?
The first graded feeder pig sale
to be attempted in this area was
held at the Union Livestock Auc
tion Barn last Friday. After the
sale there were some satisfied
farmers and some not too well
satisfied. Good pigs brought fairly
good prices and not so good pigs
brought prices, that were disap
pointing to the seller.
Now let’s look at this thing in
an honest manner. First of all,
the entire hog market—from pigs
to top hogs has been off consider
ably the past few months. Feeder
pigs sold at nearby auction mark
ets the past few weeks have not
brought farmers a profitable
price. Therefore it was not expect
ed that our first graded feeder
pig sale would bring anything like
the high prices of a year ago.
The sale, we feel, did offer a
market in what has been a rather
unfavorable situation lately for
feeder pigs. Let’s remember folks
—the farmer’s products have nev
er been over sold at the market.
Now more than ever, quality,
grade and volume become our
guides to better marketing.
In other words it will take a
top quality pig or any other farm
product to bring the top price at
the market from now on.

Changes and Correctlona.
Owners Urged
To Get Tags Now
Motor vehicle owners who still
have not received an application
form for obtaining their 1960 ve
hicle licenses should apply to a
Highway Department field office
immediately and present their
1959 registration cards.
Highway Department officials
note that license renewal forms
were mailed in September, and
urge vehicle owners lybo still
have not received their application
blanks to report to the nearest
Highway Department license field
office.
Using information from the 1959
registration card, Department
clerks will prepare a 1960 registra
tion card and issue the new lic
ense in just a matter of minutes.
License renewal forms were
mailed in September to the last
address of record and cannot be
forwarded by the Post Office, of
ficials explain.
Motorists may still apply by
mail to Columbia for a duplicate
renewal form, giving his name,
new mailing address and 1959 lic
ense number, but the use of over-
the-counter services available in
45 field offices is urged to avoid
unnecessary, delay.
However, motor vehicle owners
who have lost their 1959 registra
tion card must present their 1959
license number when applying for
a renewal.
Half of the month allotted for
obtaining the 1960 motor vehicle
tags has already passed and only
271,000 sets of licenses have been
issued out of an estimated 736,-
000 sets.
Long waiting lines of “early
birds” at license issuing windows
have disappeared since the new
licensing period began over two
weeks ago and now is the best time
to obtain the new licenses. The
Highway Department is now able
to serve you with a minimum of
delay and inconvenience, Depart
ment officials concluded.
