Humphrey Backs New Foreign Economic Policy Shift
Sen. Hubert Humphrey urged a modern foreign economic policy to replace the one from 1938. He cited a Rockefeller report calling for permanent reciprocal trade programs and regional development to ease global trade with incentives for underdeveloped nations. Sen. George Aiken supported policy changes. The report also proposes long term low interest loans and regional banks. It appears as the Senate Finance Committee prepares to hear on a five year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreement.
