This was done with the establishment in the World Trade Center, Ferry Building, with Col. Gordon D. Ingraham as managing secretary. He pointed out that the main effort of the association has been in combatting the propaganda campaign to throttle import competition, rvith a series of meetings held between members of the importer group with their Washington attorneys.
