If we could possibly compete with these people they are more than fully equipped with splendid merchantmarine service. while we are without ships in which to carry our goods to the competing markets of the world. We need an American merchant marine more for the markets of South and Central America. Australia. the Philippines. the West Indies. and the Orient than we do for the European markets. and we need not only protection from the cheap. paupermade goods of Europe. but this Congress will fail to discharge its duty to the American people if it does not enact legislation which will protect the American wageearner from the countless tide of foreign Immigrants pouring into the United States at the rate of a million a year.
