I suppose the Senator is entirely familiar with conditions prevailing in practically all of the European States or the Asiatic countries. as well as conditions prevailing in our own country. In a little. limited area of wheat growing in a little. secluded valley in the Balkans it may be that a poorly fed and clothed Rumanian might cut the grain at a given 5 cents a day. It might be that upon a great wheat field in Montana they could cut the grain at a given price. But when we compare the style of living. the clothes. the food. the carpets on the floor. the pictures on the walls. the music. the schoolhouse. the church. the newspaperwhen we compare American conditions with conditions prevailing abroad. I am sure the Senator does not wish to reduce us to the conditions prevailing there.
