An Unexciting Issue | (Cincinnati Enquirer) : The iprocal trade pacts, it appears, do not have the stuff it takes to provide a live political issue in a presidential year. A recent Gallup poll elicits the information that only one person in ten asserts a knowledge of what the trade treaties are. This is a spectacular figure, for on very few politi- cal questions indeed do nine-tenths of the vote eliminate themselves as unable to make a judgment. Of those who do know what the reciprocal pacts | are, 71 percent regard them with approval. A small- er but still a large majority believes they should be continued. Most interesting of all the things learned by the poll is that Democrats and Republicans feel precisely alike on this issue. From this evidence, it seems quite clear that the trade treaties do not offer the G.O.P. an ad- vantageous political issue. Only a very few voters are interested or informed. And approximately 71 percent of Republicans as well as Democrats approve e tariff treaty program. To launch a presi- ential campaign against the treaties would mean, for the Republican party, a task of changing the minds of most of its own followers, and then com- mencing the uphill task of converting Democrats to a contrary view, There are many pxmt issues of intense impor- tance to the country—issues on which the Republi- cans already have a majority of voters leaning to the G.O.P. viewpoint. These hold real promise as campaign issue economy, removal of barriers to business recovery, deflation of relief and farm ex- penditures, and the like. In contrast, a campaign | based on opposition to the reciprocal tariff pac!.s‘ would have no popular interest and might even lose a great many votes for the Republican nominee. | Finns would like to revise that ancient proverb about asking for bread and getting a stone.
