Tariff Walls Called G O P Black Page
Philadelphia December 27 The Republican tariff walls are called a black page in party history by Jacob Viner head of the American Economic Association. He urges Republicans to support Secretary Hull’s reciprocal trade agreements as a lasting policy and warns opposing them would show they learned nothing since the 1920s. He spoke ahead of the Allied Social Science Associations meeting with 13 groups and 3 500 delegates. Farmers would gain more from liberal trade policy than a restrictive one. War is political moral and social rather than economic, he says, and reducing friction could raise living standards.
