Senator Robertson Reaffirms Stand On ‘Trade Versus Aid’ Issues Advocated Bv President

Virginia Senator A Willis Robertson devotes Ins column of W a s h i n c t > n Congressional com ment this week to a discussion of the current legislative debate on the issue

of trade versus aid,Sen.Robertson in foreign affairs. ' In a speech at Southwest Vir ginia last week, during the lull between the inauguration and President Eisenhower's first ad dress before the Congress week. Senator Robertson reaffirmed his position on the matter He writes "In that speech I emphasized tlie importance to Southwest Vir ginia. as well as other areas, of a healthy program of foreign Hade 1 pointed out that the plan of "trade and not aid" now being advocated by a Republican Presi / dent had long been sound Demo cratic doctrine and that I had actively supported this program since it was initiated by Cordell Hull in 1934. "My immediate personal in terest in this subject centers around the meeting of the Inter national Wheat Council which opened in Washington on Friday. Jan. 30. This is a continuation of discussion started in London laJ April by the forty-six nations participating in the International Wheat Agreement of 1949 "More than two thirds of the world's wheat trade is bring car ried on under this agreement, which set the maximum price which the lour exporting nations 'Canada. Australia. France and the United States* could charge and a minimum price which the forty - two importing countries would pay. with a free market be tween those limits.

"The agreement will expire at tlie end of next July unless the participating countries agree to renew it There is some opposition m the United States because of t.he subsidy cost, amounting to nearly S580.000.t)00 during the four year period But those who favor the agreement point out

that it will have permitted the farmers .:l the United States to export nearly a billion bushels of surplus wheat in an orderly man ner while par'ty prices were being maintained on our home markets. "Wheat is eligible for govern ment loans at 90 percent of parity and the subsidy that may be paid by our government ll the international agreement is ex tended will cost the taxpayers less than the loan value. Wheat grow-; ers will, of course, take the loanj if they can't find commercial! markets at parity prices ■ I have been chosen to repre-j sent the Senate Appropriations! Committee n the United Stales Committee which will advise the1 Secretary of Agriculture in con nection with the current wheat council meeting and I shall, there fore. follow' its deliberations close ly My objective will be a plan to preserve the foreign agricul tural trade*whic!i is vital to our Nation as a whole, as well as t > the farmers, but to keep the cost at an absolute minimum "
