The Senator was absent yesterday when I stated that in an editorial from a leading newspaper published In Latin America. La Prensa. a newspaper which has in Latin America an Influence similar to that of the London Times in England. it was pointed out that the people of Argentina would prefer rather to have shut off several million dollars worth of their trade with the United States on account of the tariff than to have their immigration into this country limited to 375 a year. which is the total number of persons who came in from Argentina in 1928 for the purposes of study. travel. and as merchants. In other words. the newspaper La Prensa pointed out the fact that the injury to their pride. the injury to their feelings. the injury to their honor and their selfrespect was in their minds a far graver matter than the tariff. and that they would prefer to go without several million dollars worth of our trade rather than to be told by the United States that they were not wanted in this country any more than were immigrants from Europe. and that they were to receive no different treatment from that accorded to immigrants from the countries of Europe.
