Watson Deplores
Textile Import
Hike From Poland
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Rep.
Albert Watson, R-S.C., deplored
the “orderly growth” of U. S.
textile trade with Poland
Wednesday. He said that it was
a “great shock” to learn that
the State Department has en
couraged imports of Polish tex
tiles that far outweigh U. S. ex
ports.
“These imports represent an
equivalent of 50,000 jobs which
are being lost to American
workers each year,” Watson
said in a letter to Anthony M.
Solomon, assistant secretary of
state for economic affairs.
Watson claimed American
textile mills can supply all of
the nation’s demand. He said in
spite of this, the country's tex
tile imports exceeded exports
by $902 million last year.
Solomon was quoted as saying
the program avoids "disruption
in the United States domestic
market.”
“It comes as a great shock
to me," Watson wrote in his let
ter to Solomon, “that you or
someone in your office is so un
aware of the plight of the
American textile industry as a
result of foreign imports that
such ridiculous and callous
reasoning could be used in ex
plaining this agreement.
“It seems obvious to me that
increase in foreign imports of
textiles is going to have a dis
ruptive effect on the U. fc>. tex
tile industry.”
