They cooperate with us. Later. when our emergency passes. we seemingly ignore their just concerns by our unilateral actions. The lead and zinc tariffs are believed to be only the opening gamut in a whole series of tariff and quota restrictions which would endanger the economies of entire Latin American Republics. This mornings Washington Post carries a story reporting that President Carlos Ibafiez. of Chile. has canceled a state visit to the United States. apparently because of the Eisenhower administrations plan to restore the import tax on copper. The 20 Latin American Republics will not be the only ones injured if we allow ourselves to slither back into the dark ages of trade restrictions.
