Speaker. ladies and gentlemen of the House. I am going to support and vote for the amendment offered by the distinguished chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. to recede and concur in Senatte amendment No. 371 with an amendment. I am one of those who favor a restrictive immigration quota and a protective tariff to protect the industries and labor of the American people from unfair competition with cheap foreign products. I am amazed to find now in the great Southland Members who will stand on the floor of this House and advocate the principle of voting to keep out all aliens from entering our country. who also stand up repeatedly and advocate that the product of alien labor ard industry should come here unchecked. in unfair competition with our American workmen and industry. I remember not tIany months ago when nearly every Member of the delegation in the House from the great State of Wisconsin sat in solemn conference and signed a request to the Ways and Means Committee to have changes made in the bill as originally reported. We asked for a protective tariff to protect the calftarining industry in our great State. which has been driven to the wall through the excessive importation of cheaply produced foreign leathers.
