Truman Urges Europe to Cut Prices to Win U.S. Trade
President Truman asked Congress to back a Marshall plan report calling on Europe to lower costs to compete in the American market. The study by the Economic Cooperation Administration says even doubled European sales would be less than one percent of U.S. output and urges restructuring, better machinery, merchandising, and packaging to win American buyers. It notes exporters should be given incentives, such as keeping a share of dollars earned in export trade, to enter the tough U.S. market. The document covers ECA operations up to July 1.
