U.S. Trade Agreements
Trade agreements with 10 more countries are being prepared for President Truman’s approval under the President’s extended powers •to cut American tariffs. Experts of the United States and 10 other countries have already agreed in negotiations at Annecy, France, on what they will recommend to their Governments. Agreements based on these recommendations are expected to be ready for Presidential action early in October. These agreements .would be with Denmark, Finland, Italy, Greece, Sweden, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Liberia, Uruguay, and Nicaragua. State Department officials estimated, that if the President approved these treaties 75 to 80 per cent, of all the United States’ foreign trade, both exports and imports, would be carried on under reciprocal trade agreements.—Washington, September 16.
