President. the tariff. because of its infinite details. is not only more intricate. but almost as important as our financial affairs. If. then. it is necessary to have a monetary commission. how much moreI will make my statement moderate and say how equallynecessary Is it that we shall have a tariff commission. Some few years ago the gravity of the question of immigration and its quality became very great. It presented not only such an industrial. but such a sociological. problem that Congress found it absolutely necessary. and the people demanded. that accurate information should be gathered upon which our immigration laws could be based. That perhaps in its hunintarian aspect and in the future of our Nation is more important than either of these other questions. because that deals with our blood and our future men and women. and this deals only with our business and with our money. So. in answer to that demand. Congress established. without a dissenting voice. the Immigration Commission. I know a little bit about its work. but not much. We all know the head of that commission. the distinguished and beloved senior Senator from Vermont . We listened at the last session to his admirable presentation of the report of that commission. Its work is excellent. as I am sure the work of the Monetary Commission is going to be. Nobody objected to that. even in Congress. and yet when a tariff commission to handle a more difficult problem than immigration. a tariff commission to handle equally as difficult problems as our fiscal system and much more intricate. was proposedand proposed because it was demanded by the business world of this Republic. by more producing interests in formal resolutions than ever backed any lawwe. curiously enough. had opposition. But the happenings of this session and tile earnest desire of every Senator to get the facts. the difficulty of doing so. and the confusion of even the most studious. have proven that it is now. as we knew it was before. but were not willing to admit. absolutely a necessity. It is for this reason.
