They must export. or their economy will die. Do the Republican Members of Congress who oppose extension of the Reciprocal Trade Act wish to place themselves in the position of responsibility for forcing the Japanese to turn toward the mainland of Asia for trade with Communist China? If we cannot help the Japanese to find markets in the free world. through agreements which limit any unfair competitive methods. what assurance have we that in despair the Japanese will not turn their backs on us and resume trade with their natural markets on the Asiatic mainland? Dare we let this happen. when we know the Kremlins aim. as revealed so brutally in the aggression in Korea. to absorb Japan into the Soviet Empire? Madam President. most of the principal national organizations in the fields of labor. agriculture. and business have repeatedly endorsed the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act and have repeatedly gone on record in favor of a more liberalized trade policy.
