Of the 37 nations belonging to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), at least 23 still have barriers against Ameri- can imports (see map). This has helped create a situation in which too many dollars are leaving the United States and not enough are coming back. "Either we move ahead to get rid of outmoded trade restric- tions," Undersecretary of State C. Douglas Dillon recently told GATT members, "or we can ex- pect a resurgence of protectionism and restrictive action," Imposed after War Trade restrictions were imposed at the end of World War II when most industrialized nations found it necessary to import heavily By CHARLES STAFFORD SOUhTHI rsn. r.". , BERU CNiIE BRAZIL= 9RU6UAT 1111U OURAFRICA particularly consumer goods from the United States. Recognizing their problem, the United States made no complaint. In fact, it granted special tradeI concessions and handed out bil- lions in foreign aid, Nations Recover In the last few years, the indus- trial nations have gotten back on their feet. Today the situation is like this: 1) United States imports from such countries as Great Britain, Japan, West Germany and France have risen greatly. 2) Although United States ex-' ports exceed imports, other spend- ing abroad-including foreign aid -- has caused a United States "balance of payments" deficit. More dollars are being paid out overseas than are coming in. 3) Since other nations can use dollars to buy gold from the United States, the American gold reserve is declining. 4) Since gold backs the cur- rency, there is fear that a contin- ued drain on gold reserves would affect the stability of the dollar. Fights Tariffs GATT, whose membership con- trols 80 per cent of world trade, was designed to end discrimina- tory practices. Nevertheless, these 23 members still discriminate against dollar-goods imports: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Bur- ma, Chile, Denmark, Finland, France, West Germany, Greece, The Netherlands, India, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, Rhodesia- Nyasaland, Sweden, Turkey, Great Britain, Uruguay, Japan, Ghana and Malaya. In some cases - India and Greece are examples - the dis- crimination is minor. In others it is substantial. Methods Vary The methods of barring dollar goods vary widely. Some are bald quotas - Great Britain limits American tobacco to 61 per cent of all imported tobacco. Others are hidden-France has high in- ternal taxes on automobiles of more than a certain horsepower, and only Detroit produces these cars. The American campaign against; discriminatory controls is begin- ning to pay off. But other countries are resist- ing demands for an immediate re- laxation of trade barriers. They argue that opening markets to American products could produce economic or political repercus- sions at home which might Jeo- pardize the trend toward liberal- ized trade. AUSIRAIA = IEW lEALAND bEARBORN: CityPlans aam To Build New College The Dearborn Board of Educa- tion approved final plans for the initial construction of a new com- munity college campus recently. Soon to be constructed are the student center and the liberal arts, science and administration build- ings of the new Henry Ford Com- munity College in Dearborn. The new campus is adjacent to the University's Dearborn Center, and when completed is expected to double the enrollment of the pres- ent Ford College.

These barriers have created a situation where too many dollars are leaving the United States and not enough e entering. Because of this, the United States has warned these nations to lower their respective tariffs, which were intended to be only nporary in order to help the country get back on its feet economically after World War II.
