Of the $13.000.000.000 invested in foreign countries nearly $6.000.000.000 is invested in industries. We invested $1.250.000.000 in Cuba in the sugar plantations. Not satisfied with exploiting the cheap labor in Cuba. they imported coolie labor from China to go down there and work for 20 and 40 cents a day. and feed themselves at that. Mr. President. yet we have given Cuba a preferential duty on sugar to compete with American production. where we pay $3 a day and where there is the highest cost of production in all the world. because we have the highest standards in all the world.
