At its annual convention 3,200 delegates urged lowering the list of embargoed items to the Soviet Union and European communist states. They asked for trade parity with U S allies, enabling American firms to sell hundreds more products abroad. The stance marks a dramatic shift in economic policy, not a change in anti communist zeal.
The U S Chamber of Commerce signals that export restrictions to the Soviet bloc merely aid European allies and hurt American business. It urges the U S government to act to translate this shift into profitable foreign trade policy.
