World trade joins the United States with other nations in a creative partnership that supports the growth of our free enterprise economy and advances the well-being of all our citizens. Last year, total trade among the non-communist countries amounted to about $180 billion. Since 1960, this trade has grown by more than $67 billion, or an annual rate of more than 8 percent. Trade among the nations of the free world should reach the astounding annual rate of $200 billion in the year ahead. The exchange of goods and services builds a foundation for mutual trust among nations. I t sustains our hopes for the attainment of a better world, in which all peoples may live in peace. Expanding trade with nations around the world accelerates the pace of economic progress at home and abroad.
