The man who cuts down trees and saws them into logs produces work for the skilled laborer in the sawmill and planing mill and for the carpenter who builds the home. I repeat. Mr. Speaker. the economic truth: "The man who works produces work for others." There is another selfevident economic truth. and that is this: That the man who comes here is not only a worker and a producer. but lie becomes immediately a. consumer. Many of the immigrants come here with large families. These families need food. clothing. and shelter. They are consumers. and therefore create opportunities for wcrk for others.
