Washington reports former Minnesota governor Harold Stassen calls for a major adjustment in tariff policy to avoid economic isolation. At Lincoln Day events in New York City he urged cutting government costs, lowering taxes, and advancing labor legislation while backing a revised reciprocal trade program with Vandenberg and Millikin proposals.
