“LONG HARD JOB”
REDUCTION OF EXCESSIVE 8 TRADE BARRIERS. AMERICAN AMBASSADOR’S HOPES. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, Decembeer 7. The United States Ambassador in London, Mr J. P. Kennedy, speaking in Plymouth on the difficulty of removing trade barriers, said everyone had to accept some responsibility for some of the conditions which now prevailed. “Some of us, however,” he added, “have seen the error of our ways and have offered to join with other nations in the reduction of excessive trade barriers. It is a long, hard job. It is so easy to create barriers. It can be done with a stroke of the pen and nobody feels the blow.
“The removal of trade barriers, on the other hand, is felt by specific industries and felt at once. That is what makes the reduction of trade barriers so difficult.”
Mr Kennedy said the fact that the basis for so many problems was economic and therefore within people’s power to solve should encourage them to hope that a solution would be found.
