Trading with the Enemy

On several occasions during his campaign, John Kennedy promised to revise what he considered the sterile, negative concepts that governed free world trade with the Communist bloc; and he has kept his word.

Within six months, Mr. Kennedy has drastically altered American policies on trade with the enemy, so quietly that few realize the magnitude of his actions. He has created “an entirely new atmosphere” (as one State Department minion puts it) in which commerce between East and West is actively promoted to ease world tensions.
