He and Ball and Secretary Rusk held frank talks on foreign economic issues, stressing Congress must pass a new U.S. foreign trade program to handle an enlarged Market. Ministers of six Market nations made no substantial progress on a common agricultural policy, leaving fruit and vegetable rules, minimum price criteria, and financing unsettled.
