In the .second place, in onler to (levelo|i 

 ron.sistent and effective forei^^n trade 

 policies, the present indi-in inlenl .iuri.s- 

 dieticMis over foreijjn trade activities in 

 our (iovcrnniental set-up should ho tied 

 to^rether and should fuiul ion under uni- 

 fied direetiiin. 



Third, accurate anil ii|»^o-d.it<' records 

 (pf our coninurcial and fin.inci.il relations 

 v.ith each individual coiui'ry must he 

 kept. 



.Some of you may think that this is 

 .iust another recommendation for a hu* 

 reaucratic or academic survey inv<dvin>r 

 more expense for the hurdeneil taxpayer 

 to meet. In point of fact, if the job is 

 properly done, it will make it possible 

 at least to eliminate some of the over- 

 Inppinfr services workinjr with diverse 

 kinds and sets of inforniatijjn and <liver.s}' 

 or cohflictin}!: points of view. We must 

 know how we stanil on our. trade and in- 

 ternational balances at an.v nivcn time if 

 we are to steer our course intelli(r(.4itly. 



Must Increase Imports 



Fourth, keepin;; in mind that inlirna- 

 tional trade canij4>t move on a one-way 

 street and that we must increase im- 

 ports if we are to he paid for increased 

 exports, I think that we should pursue 

 a policy of selective exports aiul imjxirts. 



(We should send abroad preferably in 

 manufactured form, those products we 

 can best pro<luce, particularly those afr- 

 ricultural products which are the back- 

 bone of our foroi^rn trade- and our do- 

 mestic prosperity. We should take in 

 return those raw materials which wi- 

 nced and such other' products the inipor- 



' tation of which will do the least violence 

 to our domestic econora.v. 



It may be arjiued that this means more 

 Eovcrnment interference with business, 

 more regulation. That ma.v be sn. hut I 

 am not alarmed at that. Under existing- 

 world con<Iitions it is my firm belief that 

 with .some fio^'crnnient assistance and 

 direction in the field of our foreign trade 

 and finance the need for re<rimentation 

 in our internal affairs may be eliminated 



' largely and a lonjr step taken toward 



■ national recovery.
