“The movement in the United States to boycott Japanese products is utterly unwise. Admittedly, a policy of unlimited imports of Japanese products in direct competition with American made items is unfair.

Higher duty should be charged on imports, thereby protecting our basic industries. Certainly a boycott is not the way - it is not American. Japan is dependent upon its trade. We trade with her on a fair basis, or she will be pushed into the communist trade of China and Russia, and may then become under their domination. …”
