The National Outlook
BY RALPH ROBEY
The Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act
It is now clear that one of
the early and hard political
wrangles of the next session of
the Congress will be in connec
tion with tariffs. It will come
over renewal of the Reciprocal
‘ Trade Agreements Act. This
statute was first enacted in the
early days of President Roose
velt and it has been renewed
1 time after time. The act expires
next June 30 and there is no
intention of simply permitting
it to expire.
No one, either in oi out of
the Administration, yet knows
just what President Kennedy
I is going to ask for in the way
of additional powers on tariff
! negotiation. Gossip has been
running high and wild. Some
say he will ask for authority to
reduce tariffs by up to fifty
per cent. It also is said that he
wants to negotiate by broad
classes of commodities rather
than item by item. And it is
maintained that the present act
must be overhauled to elimin
, ate “peril point” protection,
। and so forth.
The Congress will convene
j on January 10. Following that
: must come three presidential
messages: The State of the
Union, Budget, and the Eco
nomic Report. It would appear,
therefore, that it will not be
possible for the message on the
j weekend with Mr. and Mrs. James
1 Edwards and Carol.

THI COVINGTON NIWS
Reciprocal Trade Agreements
Act to be ready before about
the first of February, and per
haps a week or so later.
Over the past couple of years
there has been an immense
hardening of protectionist sen
timent throughout the nation.
Labor unions as a group have
usually been so-called free
traders. But now an appreci
able number of them have
swung over to the protectionist
side. And the South, which tra
ditionally has favored low tar
iffs. also has moved to a mar
ked extent to the side o; more
adequate protection. Business
management is, as it always
has been, split on an industry
by industry basis, and no one
can be certain what the balance
of opinion in this group is at
any given time.
The United State Chamber of
Commerce, for example, is in
favor of lower tariffs, out does
not approve giving the Presi
dent wide-open powers to re
duce rates. The national Asso
ciation of Manufacturers has no
tariff policy as such, and of
course has no position on re
newal of the Reciprocal Trade
Agreements Act. But every
member of the NAM you may
be sure, has his own opinion.
It requires a vote of two-thirds
in the Board of the NAM to
establish a policy position, and
many years ago it was found
that it is not possible to get
this majority on any matter
having to do with tariffs.
We submit the following,
therefore, as solely our person
al views.
First, today many industries
in this country are being hurt
by foreign competition, and
there is no way they can meet
this lower cost of production.
Second, a sudden and drastic
reduction of the tariff, in many
cases, would cause unemploy
ment and bankruptcies. Such
developments would not be in
the interest of the nation.
Third, in the long run it is
desirable to have lower tariffs,
and as many items as possible
on the free list. But thi: situ
ation must be approached gra
dually.
Fourth, tariffs never should
be used to protect inefficient
producers. They should be fix
ed at a level which keeps the
most efficient producer under
pressure to reduce his cost of
production.
Finally, tariffs must be fix
ed on an item by item basis.
This is the basis of competition,
and is the only means possible
for making sure that we are
not protecting the inefficient.

Self-Employed
Must Make
Own Reports
Are you receiving full credit
for your earnings under social
security? This is a question to
self - employed people from
Eugene L. Rawls, Manager of
the Atlanta Social Security Of
fice. Employers make quarter- j
ly reports of the earnings of
their employees, but self-em- 1
ployed persons must make their 1
own reports annually.
Report correctly and receive!
correct benefit payments later,
Mr. Rawls advised. If self -
employed people are to receive ’
full social security credit for
their earnings, they should file
an income tax return each year.
Complete records of each re
port should be kept. Net earn
ings count for social security
credit, and correct net earn
ings can be figured only if ac
curate records of income and
expenses are maintained.
A report of self - employ
ment income to the Director of
Internal Revenue at the end of
each taxable year is a report
for social security purposes.
Self-employed persons receive
credit for all four calendar
quarters in the year when net
profit for the year is S4OO or
more.
Your social security account
number is the key to your fu
ture social security payments,
but benefit payments depend on
earnings credited to your ac
count. For further information
