That agreement expires at the end of this year and the Japanese Cot ton Textile Exporters Association has petitioned the Japanese Gov ernment for a 20 to 30 per cent increase in present export quotas. The situation is made more criti cal by swelling exports by Hong Kong, India, Korea, Pakistan, Spain, Portugal, France, West Germany and other emerging tex tile countries which are not sub ject to even voluntary restrictions. AMERICA’S POSITION as a net exporter of textiles has been reversed since 1958. Last year Imports of foreign-made textile products into the United States exceeded this country’s exports of similar goods by 39 per cent Since 1946 more than 700 Amer ican textile mills have closed and more than 400,000 textile jobs have been eliminated, most of them as the direct result of the loss of markets at home and abroad to foreign goods manu factured under conditions which would be illegal in this country.

The American Textile Industry not only has the ages, wages and hours of its employees fixed by law but also must pay parity prices established by the Govern ment for the cotton it uses. Tex tile mills in foreign countries pay wage scales which in some cases are only one-tenth of those in the United States and at the same time can buy subsidized American cotton eight and one-half cents a pound cheaper than it can be bought in this country. of an executive agreement un der which Ja pan imposed voluntary ex port quotas on its textile manufactures who, at that time, were THE APPOINTMENT by Pres ident Kennedy of a Cabinet-level committee to study the textile problem is an encouraging recog nition pf its gravity Dy, the Chief Executive.

To those of us who already have given long study to the problem it is obvious that a solu^on which involves less than a system of mandatory quotas to limit' the impact of cheap imports from all textile countries and a new farm plan which will permit American textile mills to buy cotton at the same price as their foreign com petitors will not do the job which must be done if the American Textile Industry is to survive. at government ex pt me)
