I have asked for two minutes in order to ask a question of the gentleman from Arkansas. He said a moment ago that if we would do something to relieve agriculture the industrial sections of our country would begin operations and prosper. I would like to ask the gentleman from Arkansas how the industrial sections can prosper when today they are suffering from the competition of manufactured products coming from European and Asiatic countries that take the work away from the American laborer employed in our American industries. How is it going to benefit agriculture by passing relief legislation and put them on their feet again if the industrial manufacturing sections are not thriving? He spoke about the iniquitous SmootHawley tariff bill.
