Mr. Chairman. during the discussion of the immigration bill I promised to take up. the question of unemployment. -I want to indict the two leading political organizations and accuse them of lack of knowledge and of competence in dealing with great social and economic problems. Both the Republican and Democratic Parties are intellectually bankrupt. They repeat the old slogans. slogans a century old. We hear "protection." "free trade". again "protection" and again "free trade." as if employment or unemployment had anything to do with it. We have unemployment in countries which have the most of protection and in coifntries of free trade.. We have unemployment In countries from which there is emigration. we have unemployment in countries in which the population is very small. Take. for instance. Australia. which is the size of the entire Continent of Europe and almost the size of the United States. with a population of not exceeding 5.000.000 people. and they have uiemployment.
