Accent On Agriculture
BY B. C. MANGUM *
If you have a TY set, a radio,
> camera or razor, chances are
parte or all of It came from
Japan, our Number. 1 foreign
costomer for Italted Sites farm
products. We semi her farm
products; she sends us elect
ronic equipment. We both bene
fit from this transaction.
Consumers, farmers, work
ers. Investors and business all
stand to gain from expanded
trade between countries. When
products are exchanged on a
basis of each country producing
the items it can produce more
advantageously, -consumers get
the best product at the lowest
price. No one country ? not
even the United States ? can
efficiently produce every pro
duct it needs.
In the past 13 months, there
was a favorable balance of trade
for agrlculturalproducts of 16.6
billion. During the same per
iod, nonagrlcultural trade re
sulted in an unfavorable trade
balance of 39 J billion.
A favorable balance of trade is
important because it allows the
United ape* to buy products
ture to help solve the oveiall
balance of trade problem If we
are nor threatened with restric
tions. Limitations on exports
and Imports can seriously af
fect our countrys position in
world trade.
If we in America adopt pro
tectionist policies, we can ex
pect retaliation from our over
seas customers. We wfll not
be able to expect the cmturles
who are members of the'Euro
pe an Common Market to ser
iously consider our requests
for eliminating their variable
Import levies, we cannot buUd
a fence around America.
The patterns of international
trade developed in the mid
1970's will shape the market
opportunities and incomes of
American farmers for years to
come. Policy decisions made by
our government and those of
other nations will mold a trade
environment that will either
foster or restrict international
trade.
