Mr. President. when the SmootHawley bill was under consideration I recognized some of this forceful idea which the Senator from Utah here presents. and I offered an amendment to the bill to correct some of this accumulation of wealth under the protective principle for the purpose of creating this autocracy against our own industries and against the world. but the amendment got no consideration whatever. The Senator from Utah further said: We may find our own workers facing ruin through the evolution of an industrial phase which. when the pauper workers of foreign countries were barred from our shores. shall have taken our factories to the pauper labor of these countries. and will assault with deadly effect the richest and the greatest market in the worldour own countryuntil all Is demoralized by a reversal of conditions. There is no question that the industrial and political thinkers of other countries see in the constant flow of American gold into foreign branch factories the menace of an American economic imperialism. It is this fear that is to a great extent motivating Briands "union of Europe "-frankly and boldly an economic consolidation of the European states against us.
