A bill which would abrogate the reciprocal trade treaty signed with Czecho-Slovakia last Spring and make Germany responsible for repayment of Czecho-Slovakia’s $165,229,000 national debt to the United States was introduced in the House today by Edith Nourse Rogers (Dem.,Mass.). Abrogation of the trade agreement would remove the duty reductions allowed on certain classes of goods from former Czecho-Slovakia and would be a step toward placing on the trade “blacklist” of the United States those areas now under German control, as was done in the case of Sudetenland.
