Mr. Chairman. this bill now offered to this Congress. stated in legal effect. means this: That America says to the independent established government of Cuba. if you will pass immigrationexclusion and contractlabor laws as restrictive as ours. the President of these United States will enter into negotiations with you. and if you will agree and bind yourself by treaty to so adjust your tariff laws as that American manufactures and products shall get admission into your territory at 20 per cent less than those of any other country on earth. then this country will agree that you can send your products into ours at 20 per cent less than the present tariff rates. Now. as a Democrat. I can see no reason on earth why I should give my support to that bill.
