Trade Pact Setup Safe For 2 Years
The Senate approved a two year extension of the reciprocal trade agreements program by a 72 to 2 vote, keeping the act through June 12, 1953. The House had backed a three year extension, with a conference to resolve differences. The measure is tied to moves against trade with the Communist bloc, as the Senate version would require withdrawal of tariff concessions to Russia and satellites. The program began in 1934 under Cordell Hull to expand foreign trade in exchange for tariff reductions. The high vote reflected support for limits on presidential negotiating power via peril point and escape-clause provisions, which require commissions’ tariff guidance and congressional review.
