TRADE BARRIERS
REMOVAL A "LONG, HARD JOB"
AMERICAN AMBASSADOR’S VIEWS
(British Official Wireless.) Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright
RUGBY, December 7. The United States Ambassador in London, Mr Joseph Kennedy, speaking at Plymouth on the difficulty of removing trade barriers, said: “'All of us must accept some responsibility for some of the conditions which now prevail. . Some of us, however, have seen the error of our ways and offered to join other nations in a reduction of excessive trade barriers. It is a long, hard job. It is so easy to create bar-, tiers. It can be done with a stroke of the pen, and nobody feels the blow. The removal of trade barriers, on the other hand, is felt by specific industries and felt at once. That is what makes reduction of trade barriers so difficult.” Mr Kennedy added that the fact that the basis for so many of our problems was economic, and therefore within our power to solve, should encourage us to hope that a solution would be found.
