President. we should encourage this international exchange of commodities. especially where it will not interfere with home production. On the one item which is under consideration it is admitted by everybody that there is no danger of interfering with home production. We have a touching appeal here from the representatives of Italians. naturalized Americans. who yet retain affection for their mother country. and in response to their appeal to allow the tariff on this item to remain where it has been. the Senate committee answers with an increase of 100 per cent. and that in the face of these large exports to Italy and our relatively small imports from Italy. That is the situation and I do not believe the people of this country will tolerate it. I have here the monthly letter of the Alexander Hamilton Institute. of New York City. giving a review of general business conditions. and I find this statement regarding trade indicators.
