There may be some certain manufacturers suffering inconvenience. but when German imports into this country are less than onefourth of what we are selling to Germany. and when German imports into this country are less than onehalf of what they were before the war and what they normally should be. certainly there is no danger to this country. All the evidence that has been introduced here by the Senator from North Dakota and the Senator from Indiana -that bird cages and shotguns and hair curlers and electric hair driers and amber chains and other knickknacks have come into the country and have been sold at the level of American pricescompletely disproves the argument that our Industries are in any danger from the pauper labor of Europe. These statesmen have disproven their own case by all this fantastic display of ridiculous importations. There has not been a single month in which the imports from Germany can be pointed to as being excessive.
