Comments on Interstate Commerce Act and Washington Letter
The speaker notes the ICC has forwarded a London Ontario agent William Washington letter warning of trade disruption from new commerce laws with Canada. He argues such fears are exaggerated, that initial disruptions will fade as the law operates, and that widespread misinterpretations have caused trade disturbances. He expects corrections will lessen the turmoil until further experience proves the law's effects.
