CMINER] has referred. but at the time the PayneAldrich bill was enacted we had: no citrus byproducts industry in this country. in fact. we were not then producing enough lemons to supply our national consumption of raw fruit. and our tariff yardstick must change with changing conditions. Few seem to realize that since the World War we are living in a new economic world. and particularly so with respect to competitive conditions with cheap. European and Asiatic labor. We must square our tariff schedules to meet these new conditions. I want to call your attention further to the fact that the rate of 12 cents a pound on citric acid carried in this amendment is all too little. as it amounts to only $4.80 per ton on the raw fruit which goes into the manufacture thereof. because 2.000 pounds of lemons will produce. only 40 pounds of citric acid.
