Taft sees study of aid agreement as desirable
Senator Taft called a Democratic proposal for a gentleman’s agreement on stopgap European aid worthy of consideration. He favored using the Export-Import Bank funds over other agencies, while noting the need for a congressional accord since no single agency is set up for relief. Taft’s Oregon trip included talks with labor figures and remarks on CIO unions, stating some are Communist-dominated and offering to name names if provided written requests.
