thinking over night, but we did
feel we could do a lot to make
the Europeans understand that
the U S Government intends to
defend the American farmer’s
legitimate markets, and his
rights under inteinational agree
ments.
Basic to our conversations
vMth European officials was the
idea that U S aguculture should
bo regarded in international
tiading circles as a growth in
dustry We believe our agricul
ture is capable of contributing
significantly moie to the balance
of payments than in the past.
We explained that we have a
comparative advantage with
many agricultural commodities
and that just as the Europeans
count on their specialities such
as small automobiles, machine
parts or Scotch whiskey as prod
ucts to help their balance of
payments and provide foreign
exchange, we think of agricul
ture in the same way and are
looking for an expansion in for
eign markets not a contraction.
We came down hara on such
aspects of Europe’s common
agricultural polic> as the imposi
tion of the variable levy and fix
ed high internal support prices
Our trade in commodities —
especially feed grains—subject
to those devices has dropped off
47 per cent since 1966. Restric
tive practices’ fan the flames of
pi otectiomsm elsewhere, we
pointed out, including our own
country
We likewise voiced concern
over the fact that the European
Community hascombmed a soc
ial program’''with a price pro
gram, and that this has not work
ed In an effort to attain social
goals, prices are forcect up to
where they encourage the pro
r[
*t /’•*. »rui<>>hik
duction of surpluses, and then
surpluses of certain commodities
are pushed into traditional U S
markets with the help of high
export subsidies We made it
clear we consider these practices
and various kinds of preferential
arrangements unfair, and in a
numbei of instances in violation
of our negotiated rights under
the GATT
Repeatedly, we expiessed con
cern about where such kinds of
restiictiomst and discriminatory
measures will lead We said it
would be most helpful if the
Europeans could come forth
with some new initiatives that
would support us in our effoits
—our sincere effoits—to fostei
an atmosphere of fieer, and
more mutually beneficial, tiade
We didn’t get quick or auto
matic answers, and didn’t expect
to. But perhaps some answers
will be forthcoming duung the
months ahead if we can keep up
our conversations.
The whole subject of inter
national trade —the develop
ments to come in Europe par
ticularly—is one in which your
member organizations have a
great stake, because an open
tiading world is vitally impor
tant to the agricultural industry
of America.
I hope that you will stay in
close touch with the situation I
am thinking of the relationships
that some of your groups have
with farm organizations in
Europe It will be important’
that we pool our efforts and
keep at the job of trying to reach
constructive undei standings that
can bring about trade coopera
tion instead of trade chaos
