SOVIET SEIZING ECONOMIC INITIATIVE IN WORLD, HUMPHREY WARNS
Soviet Russia has •,rrested a~•ay the economic initiative from America at a time
when world peace hinges upnn realistic world trade, Senator Humphrey warned last
night in an address before a Second District Democratic-Farmer-Labor banquet rally
at Mankato.
"International relations are not some distant policy mystery that only affects you and I when they bog dovm and lead to military conflict", Senator H1;mphrey said. "our relations with the rest of the world affect our every-day life here at home -- our jobs, our incomes, our opportunities to go ahead with the j ob of building a better America f or Americans -- and the lives of our sons.
"Wha1t: is happening in the world today?" Senator Humphrey asked. "Where is
America's bold initiati ve, that we have heard so much about?"
"We do not today hold the initiative -- militarily, diplomatically, or economically. We have taken humiliating defeats at the "Ymrld' s conference tables. We\ are tak:i,.ng even more dangerous defeats in the realm of world trade and economic rel~\. , t ions. As we fumble a11d fail on the diplomatic and economic fronts, we are being slowly but surely forced to turn m' re to dependence on r1i l:!.tary sec·uri ty -- in an \ era of the H-Bomb when t here is no military secur ity.
"Make no mistake about it-- America's ent ire · f ut ure hinges upon its ability to work out realistic trade policies with the rest of the world."
Deploring fail'LJre of the Congress to enact a real trade program d11ring the
past year, Senator Humphrey called attention to the fact that the "Russians are
taking a determined economic offensive, and the free world economies will have tb \
meet it to survive. \ \
"Right now, during September and October of this year, delegates from nearly all of the Asian nations are vi siting the Soviet Union to stvdy industrial and agricultnral development -- at the expense of the Soviet Government", Senator Humphrey revealed.
"One real irony of the c1.1rrent visits of Asian delegates to Russia is that it will be highlighted by a giant Soviet agricultural exhibition -- yet, it is no secret that Russia's agricultt~e has been in terrible shape while ours is the world's most advanced. Why isn't the United States making st:ch a bid for future \vor ld trade?"
Senator Humphrey declared that the Soviet Union had negotiated at least ten
new trade agreements in Asia and Latin America for over $100,000,000 worth of trade
annually during the last year, while our country negotiated none.
"Let us not put otll' sole reliance in military security at a time when economic' relations largely have s upplanted diplomatic relations in shaping the pattern of the ~•orld 's f1Jtm·e", Senator Humphrey declared, calling for America to "assert our leadership" with a poE?itive program of a long-range trade policy 1.mder which "we can bid vigorously for world trade"; making use of our food ab1.mdance "as a humanitarian diplomatic weapon"; pressing vigorously for technological assistance to underdeveloped areas, and "expanding rather than restricting our student and teachel exchange programs to stimulate world understanding".
"Only in such constructive ways can we achieve the peace we seek", Senator
Humphrey declared.
