CWT opposes it. opposes it zealously. One of CWTs board members. a distinguished former diplomat. analyzed the agreement in a newsletter. His analysis came very close to selfrighteously applying the labels "Racist" and "Zenophobe" to those whose pressure brought about the truce. "The truce is nothing but an updated version of the discredited and odious Oriental Exclusion Act." he said bitterly. refusing to acknowledge any validity to concern about American workers. And he concluded. and I quote directly: I do not see how this unseemly episode can possibly brighten the American image or benefit the national interest. The national interests represented by the Automobile Importers of America. whose contribution helped publish this diplomats views. also includes a group of foreign tiremakers as well as 17 foreign automakers.
