PAGE TWO i—SECTION TWO ? • ENATORJORDAM WUk REPORTS I ■KUBgT'tMIUMMIM Washington The time si drawing near when officials of the United States government will again enter into negotiations in Geneva to promote world trade under our Reciprocal Trade Program. Under this program the mem ber nations of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) set the ground rules for a great deal of world trade. GATT conferences are scheduled to begin in September, and out of these conferences will come agreements on duties to be lev ied on a long list of both export and import products. We in North Carolina have an unusually large stake in the out come of the GATT negotiations. Os primary interest is 'the long list of textile products which has been proposed for negotiation. It is a well known fact that the textile industry has been hit unusually hard by increased im ports in recent years. Many other industries also have been affected to a marked degree, in cluding plywood, commercial fisheries and electronics. The increased imports have been the result of the State De partment’s policy to encourage the industrial development of free world nations in order to build democratic nations with strong economies. The intent nf such a policy is commendable, i but it has created problems for' us at home which, if allowed I to go unchecked, could ruin' many of our basic domestic in-j dus tries. In studying the problem. I j have found that our domestic in-j dus tries want to be fair. They have no objection to sharing ex-1 panding markets with foreign | County News j Monday afternoon. June 13, at 3 o’clock in the Chowan Com munity Building the Chowar Home Demonstration Club had a demonstration on “Green Beans Dressed Up.” Miss Pauline Cal loway, home economics agent, made a green bean salad which was very appetizing and of good food value. Mrs. Roland Evans presided at the meeting, reading for the devotional from the sev enth chapter of Matthew. Mrs. C. J. Hollowell led in prayer and Mrs. E. N. Elliott,, foods and nutrition leader, gave a report emphasizing June Dairy Food Month, saying that getting milk into the daily diet makes one feel better. Several subscriptions to Green and Growing Maga- turned in. A Cross Roads Fire District supper was discussed to be put on by the Cross Roads community. The club was reminded of Farm and Home Week July 12-15 at State College; Crafts Camp at Manteo August 16-18 and the Christmas Festival to be held at Chowan Community Building with the tentative date being November 28. The club decided to have a club picnic July 18 at 7 o’clock at thq Community Building with a covered dish supper so as not to conflict, with revivals to be held in August. Mi's. Roland Ev ans was hostess, serving orange chiffon cake and chocolate and vanilla ice eream. A Cross Roads community progress meeting was held on Monday night at the Chowan Community Building at 8 o'clock. Mrs. M. M. Nixon was host to the WSCS meeting Saturday af ternoon. The funeral for Robert (Bob) White of Perquimans County was held Tuesday morning at 11 o’clock at the Methodist j STAR/By .-Wc ■** - v .V * '.- .I- . gMgsßßfiffl^^ i producers, but they do not feel f that it is right to be forced out t of business. It goes without say -5 ing that an American industry l cannot market a product which » will compete with a foreign pro duct manufactured with 25-cents an-hour labor. I We have reached the point in , many industries where the flow ; of imports must be controlled or many thousands of people will I lose their jobs in addition to the t great many jobs which already > have been eliminated. I feel that the fairest and t most reasonable way to control the flow of imports would be , through a system of reasonable . import quotas which would per mit foreign manufacturers to get , a fair share of expanding db : mestic markets. The same could be applied to our exports. Unless an approach of this type is given more consideration. I am afraid that we are running) the risk of our trade policy) backfiring. For example, if we continue to encourage textile! imports as in recent years, many) foreign nations will continue to I build up their textile industries, at a rapid pace. Tremendous], investments will continue to be' made in plants and machinery, j Then, when the day of reckon-1 ing comes, we will be forced to cut off the flow. In such a sit- 1 I nation, we will have made en-j : emies out of those we are try-} I ing to befriend. The time has] I come when we must put foreign! : nations on notice that we can | absorb just so much volume, and j j I feel that the only way we can] | do this is to think and negotiate; in terms of reasonable import I quotas instead of tariffs and du-; ties.
