President. there is before the Senate an amendment proposed by the senior Senator from Minnesota proposing to place in this revenue act a tariff upon certain products coming from the Philippines. Time and again both committees in Congress and both branches of Congress have decided that until the Philippines become an independent nation or a definite date is set for their independence. it would be unjust to these people to place any restrictions upon their products. This applies to immigration as well as to their exports. I have been requested by the Philippine commission now in the United States to ask for insertion in the RECORD. which I do now as part of my remarks. of a statement by this commission of the effect of the adoption of this amendment. The communication follows: On May 16 Senator SHIPSTEAD submitted to the Senate an amendment intended to be proposed by him to House bill 10236. the revenue and taxation bill. now pending before the Senate.
