also met with members of the military reform movement and democratic opposition leaders in korea kemp toured the dmz with his wife and visited u s troops in panmunjom rep kemp's trip coincided with what he told asian leaders was the greatest pressure for protectionism he had seen in 15 years in congress he took the opportunity of speaking to the kaidanrem the japan federation of economic organization to address the issue of protectionism and the need for asian pacific countries to open their markets to u s goods and services rep kemp stated that the protectionist pressures in the u s congress could lead to a trade war akin to that which followed the smoot-hawley tariff measures of 1930 said rep kemp right now the chances for avoiding such a disaster rest heavily with president reagan who has stood almost alone against the protectionist tide i will strongly oppose and i will urge president reagan to veto any protectionist legislation passed by the congress but president reagan needs all the help he can get from his friends both abroad and at home and i urge you to do what you can to help rep kemp's comments came one week before president reagan rejected calls for special protecton of the domestic footwear industry kemp outlined reasons why america currently has a trade deficit with japan he staved the reasons included the strong u.s economy which has grown faster than many of our trading partners thus putting more emphasis on the trading relationship be tween japan and the u s trade rpajtrictrfw »*.-. * ,-—-. -•*•>»* *.*,**. *+** american exports and the chaotic state of the international monetary system he called for faster progress in liberalizing access to domestic markets not only in japan and the u st but especially in europe in addition rep kemp called for there to be a new round — a reagan round — of gatt talks so as to reduce tariff and trade barriers he called upon other nations especially the stagnant economics of europe to cut marginal tax rates to create the kind of economic growth that would allow them to import more u s goods and finally rep kemp called for cooperation to rebuild an interna tional system of stable exchange rates which was met by strong interest in japan and korea rep kemp stated trade is mutually beneficial it raises our standard of living by increasing the variety and quality of goods available in every country it accelerates economic development not only in the industrial countries but also in the less developed countries it helps to keep a tight grip on prices through competition above all it creates jobs by increasing the market for locally produced goods when trade is free jobs in tokyo are not created at the expense of workers in buffalo or vice versa with expanding trade and prosperity jobs are created in both i cities rep kemp reiterated these and other points on meetings with the prime minister of japan and presidents of korea the philippines and republic of china
