In a statement by Doctor Klein he said: Speaking of export trade obstacles. we hear much these days from jobhunting demagogues and headline hungry publiciteers of the devastation to be visited upon trade by way of retaliatory tariff discriminations. Doubtless there will be a few bona fide instances of this. but such problems are far from being a novelty in our commercial development. Our traders have long been accustomed to encounter discriminatory devices in world markets everywhere. applied because of our wardebt policy. or our immigration policy. or our. tariff policy. or any other handy alibi. But in time these difficulties. no matter what their alleged cause. have been overcome. And the usual arbiter of their fate has been the determined foreign consumer. insisting upon the availability of American films or tractors or other wares which seem to meet his needs so completely.
