I hold that the first duty of this Congress is to the people of the United States of America. You can not have an international economic conference which will confine its discussions simply to the schedules in our tariff. It will have to consider. for instance. immigration. What is the need of immigration laws if we have no tariff. and What is the need of a tariff if we have no immigration laws? It will have to discuss international debts. because we are now the greatest creditor nation in the world. And our debtors will insist on discussing our American tariff in connection with their payments on their debts to us.
