Hull Defends Trade Treaties Against Farm Belt Critics
Secretary of State Hull rebutted critics at the American Farm Bureau Federation meeting, defending trade pacts as essential to economic security and world order. He cited $795 million in agricultural imports in the first nine months of 1939, arguing most do not displace domestic farming and noting exports rose 50 percent from 1935 to 1938 under the agreements. He warned against war involvement and urged restoration of normal trade relations to support farm income and national unity.
