...impairing U.S. health. But many a Congressman showed little sympathy for expanding U.S. ventures in internationalism. House-Senate conferees agreed on an import fee on wool which, if it became law, might wreck Administration efforts at Geneva for freer world trade (TIME, June 2). Marshall and Under Secretary Will Clayton had to rush before a House committee to plead for extension of the Maritime Commission's power to operate the tankers and charter the cargo vessels which are currently keeping Europe alive. Certainly no program calling for a yearly expenditure of $5 billion had a chance in the present...
...Will Clayton was given the most delicate mission of all. He would leave within the next few days to find out just what the nations of Europe would do to help themselves, e.g., by forming an economic unit which the U.S. might be persuaded to support. But he was charged with making a suggestion that was not a suggestion because, in Marshall's words, "the initiative must come from Europe."

The industry was wool, of which the British Commonwealth nations annually produce more than 1.7 billion pounds, must export more than 800 million pounds...
Little but Loud. The background of Congress' action was enough to make World Businessman Clayton give up in despair. Wool-growing is not a vital U.S. industry. It is a small, uneconomic business which assays at less than 1/1000 of the national income. But it has powerful friends-Congressmen and Senators from 23 wool-growing states, who can bleat as loudly as storm-whipped rams while trading support of bills to protect Southern peanut-growers for bills to protect Western sheep-raisers...
