If I understood the gentleman from Kansas . I am with him so far as the question of importation is concerned. If his idea with respect to future- importation is to see to it that the producers of this country. the farmers and the ranchmen. who feed and clothe the 105.000.000 people of the United States are not placed on a level with the Chinese and Japanese coolies who send so many million pounds of vegetableoil substitutes each year to compete with the products of our farms. I am with him on that subject. and we are unanimous with regard to the same. .Time has proven that free raw material is not a fundamental of true democracy. It has been a fatal policy and constitutes one of our gravest mistakes.
