Community Auditorium, FOREIGN AID AND TARIFFS It is becoming increasingly clear that if the United States reduces the amount of foreign aid to its allies, pres- sure to lower tariff on some foreign goods will increase tremendously. Business leaders from all over the world recently gathered in Vienna and U. S. tariff policies in the coming month was considerable. | The chief spokesman for the United States at this meeting was Warren Lee Pierson, chairman of the United | States Council of the International Chamber of Commerce. Reassuring business representatives from foreign coun-| tries, Pierson said he had never been more optimistic on} the’ prospect that U. S, trade policies will gradually be- come less restrictive. It is well to note, in this connection, that many major Powers now depending on the United States for raw ma- terials are currently being tempted by the Soviet Union, which is making competitive offers. For instance, the Jap- anese are being offered Russian oil at a much cheaper price than they can buy the oil from the United States. The Russians are offering other powers grain at a price | below that at which U. S. grain has been selling. In other words, the economic phase of the cold war) is getting hotter. While we do not wish to see any U.S. in- dustry suffer unnecessarily, we point out that gradually-| reduced tariff will allow the U. S. consumer to buy many goods at lower prices. If tariffs are lowered too drastical- ly, many consumers could, of course, be put out of the] market.since the job they have might be in an industry | which is eliminated in a drastic tariff reduction. The issue is a complicated one and one which the pres- ent Administration is now reviewing. President Dwight | D. Eisenhower has indicated to foreign representatives | that he favors gradually reducing tariffs, That must be | our goal, if our trade with the outside world is to be ex-| panded. U.S. UNUSED FUNDS TOTAL $135 BILLION A joint Senate-House Committee recently reported | the Government had over $135 billion dollars in unspent appropriations as of January, 1953. The committee esti- mated that unspent balances on July Ist, when the next! fiscal year begins, will be 102 billion dollars. Senator Harry Byrd, Democrat of Virginia, chairman | of the committee, has been waging an unsuccessful cam- paign (thus far) to have U. S. economic policy altered so/ that current appropriations could be postponed perhaps a| year while the unspent balances which have accrued in| many agencies were drawn upon. Gonsiderable opposition has developed to this propos- al and the military has argued that most of its appropria- tions must be made far in advance, since heavy items take | several years to produce. Opposition has developed from | other government agencies, and Senator Byrd’s plan seems a long way from implementation at the present time. | The Byrd idea is a good one, since it could save the Government many billions of dollars—merely by postpon- ing the actual appropriations a year. The effect would be! to reduce a year’s appropriations tremendously, allow the budget to be balanced, taxes to be reduced and_ billions paid on the national debt. While we cannot dispute the argument advanced by Defense Department officials, nor would we want to de- lay vital defense procurements, it is possible that savings | could be realized in other non-defense agencies a de- partments if the recommendation of Senator Byrd is fol-} lowed. Apparently the Senator will have to wait another year to push his proposal, but even though recommen- dations have not been followed t ture years to take advantage of the opportu by the proposal. clude A bargain shou i inferior goods are never cheap. quality as reduced pry.
