but, to para¬
phrase Mark Twain, no one knows what to do about it. Professor
Hoel sizes up the current disagreement as to what is causing the
problem, offers his assessment of it, and then prescribes what should
be done to improve our export position. He favors pre-determined
specific tariff-trade agreements, a preferential tax and depreciation
policy to stimulate sales, and extension of a subsidy during the tradefreeing period to provide the inefficient firms with an opportunity to
produce competitively saleable products. As a long run policy, how¬
ever, he opposes artificial barriers to maintain an indefensible pro¬
tection situation, and hopes that our firms will have sense to con¬
centrate on goods containing a minimal amount of labor.
