Mr. Chairman. I wanted to ask the gentleman from Wyoming a question for information. but he did not have time to yield. I realize that. Every indutry in America as it comes along has its advocates not only to claim but to demonstrate by their figures that they are unable to compete with the foreign and pauper labor either of Europe or the Orient. What I want to know is this:: This is a great country. producing an excess over its consumption to the amount of hundreds of millions of dollars. That excess must be sold abroad. Now. if every industry here is unable to compete with any foreign country. and must exclude from our markets the products of its competitors. where on earth are we going to find exchange products to come into our country in payment for the products that we wish to send abroad?
