Data based upon 1947 Census of Manufactures, Bureau of Census. Percentages show ratio of value of production in region or State to value of total United States production. Although many percentages have been calculated to 10ths of 1 percent, the figures presented should generally be regarded as approximations only in view of either the incompleteness of the geographic distribution of the production data available or the lack of correlation between such data and the product descriptions listed herein. Thus in many instances it was necessary to estimate the production percentages for individual States, and occasionally regions, on the basis of industry information set forth in the Census of Manufactures relating to the number of establishments and employees in the industries involved. Production data from Agricultural Statistics, 1951, by Department of Agriculture and relate to value of eggs shipped in 1949.

Domestic production data cover canned and preserved vegetables, fruits, juices, relishes, and sauces, which comprise the bulk of exports to Venezuela.
Distilled liquors only, which comprise the bulk of beverage exports to Venezuela.

The 1947 Census of Manufactures data do not of course fully reflect the gain made since that time by the South, and to some extent the West, in the manufacture of woolen

? Data relate to copper rolling and drawing establishments.

This figure understates United States exports since many shipments are not included in the statistics.

United States exports to Venezuela in 1952 totaled approximately $502,000,000 on the basis of preliminary figures.

Mr. CowGER. Looking now to other aspects and implications of this legislation, when this committee acts I beseech you to bear in mind the chaotic and troubled situation in which the world finds itself today. I refer, of course, to the continuing conflict in Korea and the possibility of the occurrence of similar conflicts. Our country has rightly assumed a position of leadership in the world. To the end that our country shall not find itself walking alone, this Congress should take action which will tend to persuade and induce other nations to follow our leadership. It seems to us highly important that more and more friendly nations should be added to our following and that only in extreme circumstances should any action be taken to alienate those whom we presently class as friendly. Action by our Congress cannot be taken as though in a vacuum. The eves and ears of the peoples of the world look to this group and closely scrutinize the action which it takes. Any legislation which serves to bore holes in the foundation of the concept we have come to refer to as hemispheric solidarity will have its toll among other nations which we by right, should have as friends.

In behalf of the Foreign Trade Club of Louisville I urge you gentlemen to follow the course of action recommended by the President, extend the present Reciprocal Trade Agreement's legislation for a period of 1 year and thereby give the administration the opportunity which it deserves to consider fully the entire problem and to recommend the type of amending legislation which should be adopted. Thank you.

The CHAIRMAN. Does that conclude your statement?

Mr. CowGER. Yes, sir.

The CHAIRMAN. We appreciate the information you have given the committee.

Any questions?

The Chair hears none.

Mr. COWGER. Thank you.

We thank you, sir.

The CHAIRMAN. The next witness is Mr. G. S. Goetz.

Will you give your full name to the reporter, please, and then proceed with your statement?

STATEMENT OF GEORGE Z. GOETZ, JR., CHAIRMAN, GOVERNMENTAL COMMITTEE, READING FOREIGN TRADERS, READING, PA.

Mr. GOETZ. My name is George Z. Goetz, Jr., representing the Reading Foreign Traders, Reading, Pa. I desire to present to you for the record a resolution adopted by the Reading Foreign Traders on May 13, 1953.

The Reading Foreign Traders, a group representing a cross-section of the industries in and surrounding Reading, Pa., has unanimously adopted a resolution for presentation to the House Ways and Means Committee in connection with H. R. 4294.

The Reading Foreign Traders have resolved that they go on record with the House Ways and Means Committee as favoring the President's request for a 1-year extension of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act in its present form pending further study. Further, we favor the following:

1. Elimination of crippling amendments such as the peril-point clause and the escape clause.
