We cannot survive without the methods that are called reciprocal by these who practicl them and. bilateral by those who object. * * * Every nation in the world practices discrimination in one form or another. The Americans discriminate quite openly and powerfully in their loan policy. In their shipping laws. and most ostentatiously in their immigration restrictions. We have at least as much right as they to employ the methods of discrimination that we find useful. The second major defect of the proposals is that they virtually rule out the possibility of a planned expansion of international trade. * * * The only way in which a state can plan its trade. upwYard is by entering into agreements with other states for the mutual assurance of cxport marketsand that is to be banned.
