Stassen Outlines Red Trade Hope and 1953 Policy
Foreign Aid Chief Harold E. Stassen told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the free world would trade with Russia if it shifts toward peace. He called 1953 the most successful year for U S foreign economic policy including East West trade. Stassen described London talks with Britain and France on controls, noting European shipments to the Soviet bloc are well below prewar levels and that North Korea and Red China remain restricted. He said allied plans would narrow the list of restricted items and tighten control while urging that any Soviet shift toward peace could expand East West contracts and brighten prospects for peace.
