| Description | Cartoon shows a politician urging "Trade, Not Aid" and arguing that the U.S. should "Buy from Europe and ease the load on the U.S. tax payer" to an enthusiastic audience. The speaker's follow-on statement that this will call for adjustment of tariff policies evokes cries of dismay citing "Competition" and "Protection" from the same audience. In March 1953, a presidential commission recommended tariff cuts. Reflects the continued tension between the needs to create a free trade climate that would allow European recovery after World War II and the demands of American manufacturers for continued tariff protection. |
