FIVE-POINT PLAN
Washington, Apr. 23.
The American Council of the International Chamber of Commerce today called for a pro- gressive reduction in all United States tariffs start- ing with a 20 per cent cut in January.
The businessmen also asked for the repeal of preferential legislation, including the "Buy Ameri- can" Act, which restricts the purchase of foreign- goods.
The measures are part of a five-point plan to relieve "the tragically absurd position to which the international trade of this country has been allowed to drift."
In a report released today, the Council described President Eisenhower's decision to ask Congress to extend the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act for a year as "inadequate." |
It called for:-
1. The passing of a 1 to simplify customs measures:
2. Progressive reduction in all United States tariffs, beginning with a cul of not less than 20 per cent in January;
3. The repeal of preferential Co-relation, including the "buy
Amerkan" Act;
The Colombo Plan's Council for Technical operation provided increasing aid last year to non-| Cominonwealth member nations.
4. The gradual abolition of import.quela restrictions;
6. The appointment of a
