Truman's Vowve Fails To Quiet His Critics
Wastinon Feb 28 A move by President Truman to quiet GOP critics over the administration trade program fails to win full support. Senators Vandenberg and Millikin say the executive order, while helpful, falls short of their tariff commission ideas. They note the order differs from their suggestions to prevent policy errors before they occur. The White House frames the order as useful progress ahead of April Geneva talks on a UN trade body.
