Marshall Raps GOP Trade Bill
Washington May 24 The house rules committee pinned a this or nothing tag on the Republican trade agreements bill to day. Secretary of State Marshall said he would rather have nothing. The rules committee voted to limit debate to three hours and scheduled a vote for Wednesday. The GOP bill extends the reciprocal trade act for one year and adds congressional veto power if the president exceeds tariff limits. Marshall's letter to Rep. Coughton urged a three year extension without crippling amendments. The act, first adopted in 1934, lets the secretary of state use reciprocal agreements to lower trade barriers without Congress.
