We could initiate a "national security tariff" of 100 percent on all Chinese goods imported into the U.S. and at the same time encourage others around the world, more friendly to us, to consider supplying those items. Prices could increase on all items across the board for a while, but then would drop as their production lines would become more efficient. I can see us doing no less with the menace that China poses to us and its smarmy denials to the contrary. Must we always be fools for a buck and "free" trade? Just a thought. br> -- Gene Hauber br> Meshoppen, Pennsylvania
