Mr. President. it would be folly to add. for example. a tariff on vegetable oilssay. on flax and linseed oiland then permit the introduction into this country of other vegetable oils which could serve as displacement oils in the manufacture of paints. varn!shes. and for other purposes for which linseed oil is employed. that is. to tax linseed oil and then let in free soyabean oil. lumbang oil. perilla oil. and so forth. would ultimately furnish little or no encouragement for the farmer to revive flax Production. To protect corn oil. cottonseed oil. and peanut oil by high tariff would benefit no one but the manufacturer unless proper duty was placed against coconut or other oils so checaply produced in Asiatic countries with the cheapest labor obtainable. since coconut oil is a replacement oil in milk substitutes. as butter substitutes. and for soap manufacture. tius driving out the American farm product which is replaced. Whatever of coconut oil is used. either in milk products. butter substitutes. and for soap production. means foreign competition with our corn and cotton growers. Enormous quantities of milk substitutes are now produced from skimmed milk. to which is added a vegetable oil. mainly. coconut oil. to replace the butter fat.
