Public favors more curbs on imports
Louis Harris reports a 61-33 percent tilt toward restricting imports, up from 51-30 in 1973, amid fears jobs will be lost to foreign competition. Voters blame Japan and West Germany, noting unequal trade rules, yet 74 percent approve imports from abroad and 67 percent back freer trade if Americans can compete. The Bonn summit and Carter arguments influence views on expanding trade unless other nations respond.
