Mr. President. there would be no special purpose in my entering into a controversy dbout the greed of foreign Industries. Asiatic or otherwise. I have been discussing paragraph 904. and I used.the silk industry by way of illustration. because it Is probably the most outstanding in the field about which I have been talking. All tile Senator from Massachusetts asks is an increased tariff on some specific item. He can not. nor can I. nor can anyone else on the floor of the Senate. at this time point out the items where there is material competition. or detrimental competition. But I say It is unfair to place upon the backs of the American people this tremendous additional burden as to all cotton fabrics. or nearly all of them. just for the purpose of reaching these few.
