95. Editorial Note
At his March 25 press conference, President Eisenhower noted that he had discussed trade issues, including the possibility of reducing wool imports, with British Prime Minister Macmillan. He indicated that they agreed “to study it as seriously, as exhaustively as we can, because both of us believe in what we call the principle of interdependence.” (Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1959, pages 295–296)
On April 4, in an address at Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the President spoke of Japanese trade and of its importance to the free world. He asserted the importance of liberalizing [Page 202] trade relations with Japan and maintaining a balance between imports and exports.
