North Carolina Industries Face Problem of Foreign Competition By Senator Son Ervin .Unemployment and foreign com petition with American products are growing problems which many North Carolina industries are deal ing with in increasing numbers. They are also national problems. Last week the Labor Department announced that unemployment rose to a fourteen month high in mid February. -At about the same time, Treas th« we need to make our domes tic goods more competitive to hold markets abroad. Dillion was distrurbed, as many other Americans are, about the outflow of American gold to other nations resulting from failure of U. S. earnings from exports of goods and services to match our imports, foreign aid and military costs abroad, and overseas invest ments. These problems are close to the livelihood of 230,000 North Carolina Families who depend up our textile industry. The textile dilemma has not improved during the last year. No longer is there an easy cure-all remedy for its economic illsfc But any list of causes for the North Carolina textile plight could veil begin with policies pursued by the Federal Government which of :en expresses concern over foreign competition and unemployment. There is two-price cotton which jive* foreign textile manufacturers l raw material advantage of $421 per bale of cotton over our own manufacturers. There is a flood of foreign goods which brings a tidal wave of competion through virtual ly non-existent tariff walls. Last week I again expressed my concern over the textile industry’s plight to the highest Administra tion officials by letter. The views which I expressed may be sum marized as follows: “Ever since I came to the Senate ■Tai|te_gj54rJ:fee textile industry has endure much economic suffer ing on accou nt of governmental policies which have increased the cost of production of textile goods manufactured by cheap labor abroad. Moreover, the government has placed the domestic textile in dustry at an additional disadvan tage by policies which compel the domestic textile industry to pay ap proximately $42 more than their foreign competitors for each bale of American cotton they buy. “These governmental policies have contributed materially to the liquidation of a substantial portion of the American textile industry, to the loss of thousands upon thousands of jobs of American tex tile workers, to the denial of a fair return upon their investments in the textile industry of thousands of American investors, and to the loss of a substantial part of their mark :ts by American textile manufac turers. “For more than two years! the Ydministration has been promising to do something to protect the tex Annual Land Judging Contest Scheduled for Friday, March 19 k^UUiUTTWU vuviaituu future Farmers of America will lold its Eighth Annual Land Judg ng Contest near Wheat Swamp ligh School on March 19, starting t 2:30.
