Indeed. the demand persisted at such a high level that a more liberalized trade program was widely acclaimed by those enjoying the profits of overseas selling as the answer to international economic problems. Those of us in West Virginiawhere coal. pottery. ceramics. and assorted manufacturing industries were adversely affected by import competitionpleaded for a more perspective appraisal. New England also recognized the danger of speeding crazily down the road to more liberalized trade policies without proper braking equipment in the form of sensible tariff and quota laws. The South recognized the danger once Japans textile plants were rehabilitated. Now. at long last. more and more regions are beginning to feel the need for a more cautious approach to the widening avenues of international trade.
