“Minor Industry Protected”
NEW YORK, Sept. 25 To protect a minor industry and save the jobs of a relatively few thousand men, the United States was seriously damaging the economies of a number of friendly countries, and had created a great deal of hard feelings by restricting lead and zinc imports. the “New York Times” said today. “The damage is done for the present, and the mistake cannot be rectified immediately.” the newspaper said. “However, it must be hoped that the quota restriction will be annulled as soon as possible.
“The United States at its present stage in history cannot sensibly go in for trade restrictions, cannot jeopardise commodity markets that later will be vital to our existence, and must not so cavalierly damage our relations with friendly nations for reasons that are more internal politics than economics.”
