The element of protection to American industry has vanished and American industry and labor are the victims. How long are we going to permit this condition to prevail? It seems to suit the element that is apparently obsessed with the cult of internationalism. but if protecting American industry and American workmen against a combination of pauper labor and depreciated foreign currency is nationalism. then put me on record as a nationalist. I am for America first. now and forever. I hope the Members of the House will see the wisdom of enacting this legislation and of reestablishing the rates that we intended to be applied when we passed the HawleySmoot bill.
