Marsh, who represents the important Shenandoah Valley poultry producing region, directed Herter’s attention to the matter in a letter recalling that Germany. in re^cent years, had given a special tariff concession during the winter holiday season to geese shipped to that country from communist Poland and Yugoslavia but had declined to give equal treatment to turkeys from the United States, despite growing acceptance of turkeys as a “holiday bird" among German housewives.
The Germans had justified their special tr-eatmentof geese imports on the basis that the goose was a traditional main dish for holiday feasting in Germany and other European countries. In writing to Herter, Marsh suggested: “In connection with talks now in progress, I think you will agree that, it would be opportune to suggest strongly that our turkeys, which have won substantial acceptance in Euro pean markets as holiday bird^ should, this fall, be given treat ment' at least equal to that which it may be expected will be granted to geese of communist Poland and Yugoslavia. In his reply, declaring that further efforts would be made in the matter, Herter added: “In spite of this discrimination, however, our turkeys continue to enjoy favorable acceptance in the German market. Our turkey exports to West Germany in each of the past three years have been: 1961-17,900,000 pounds. 1 1962— 25,000,000 pounds. 1963— 19,300,000 pounds.”
