Trade Affairs, EGA
PART I
Campbell
From the Nation's Capital, the Liberty Broadcasting Systen presents
transcribed Public Hearing on Hast-liest Trade. This is George Campbell,
Liberty's Washington Correspondent.
Participating in this discussion of the complex problems involved
in our trade with the other countries of the world are two experts on that
subject, the distinguished Republican Senator from Nevada, George W. Malone,
and Mr. Robert Golding, Special Assistant for East-West Trade Affairs of the
Economic Cooperation Administration.
To begin our discussion let's consider the mitter of our trade in
the light of the present world situation. We're at war in North Kores fight-
ing with that country and with Communist China and indirectly all of the
Soviet dominated countries.
Now, the question is, to what degree should we curtail our trade
with these countries which we are actually fighting and with those who are
aligned with them?
Here we have a. trenenious weapon but how that veapon should be used
has been the subject of considerable controversy. This veek Congress voted
unanimously to shut off further American economic or financial aid to any
nation permitting exports of var materials to Russin., Red Chins or other Iron
Curtain countries. The amendment was originally offered by Senator Jnmes Kem,
and to begin our discussion, Mr. Golding, I vould like to get your vieus on
that Amendment, and its effectiveness.
Golding
Well, the Amendment, of course, is designed to protect our national
security. Now, that's the purpose of it and nobody has ever disagreed with
that purpose. However, when we come to the means and the method employed,
there can be a vide difference of opinion. First of all, I think it would be
constructive to find out just exactly what the area of disagreement really is.
There has been a great denl of rather loose talk about strategic weapons and
strategic materials and var potentials. llow, for over two years anyway,
arms, ammunition and such articles as tanks, sirplanes, submarines, and other
important pieces of military material have been embargoed by practically
nearly every country in the vorld. That is, of course, the Satelites.
Now that can be eliminated.
