...grain for underdeveloped nations, and a code to curb below-cost "dumping" of products in world markets. Clearly reflected was the fact that there had been plenty of room for economic maneuver even after the weary Geneva negotiators, under firm prodding by GATT's British Director General, Eric Wyndham White, came to a basic agreement seven weeks ago (TIME...
