Move Against Crime Export Agency To Also Control All Private Trading
The peak tariff barterment committee plans a government backed private export corporation to handle all American foreign trade with capitalization near a billion dollars. The agency would be regulated by the government and supervise production for world trade to raise export quotas and stabilize domestic prices. The plan aligns with White House moves to coordinate foreign trade through a permanent mechanism chaired by George N. Peek. No decision has been reached, but discussions stress a cartel style approach to protect markets and commodity prices, tying liquor import restrictions and Russian trade matters to the effort.
