The ship bringing the importation within the quota would be the fortunate entry. If. however. this and many other small problems that might be suggested do furnish some opposition to the contemplated change. the objections are by no means as serious as those raised to our efforts to control the "rugged individualist " in his exercise of unrestricted competition. nor are any of these objections anything to be compared to the objections to our present protective system based upon import duties alone. This system will be of uniform operation throughout the United States. and political corruption through which campaign contributions of specific industries seeking unfair protection will be removed.. and we will have an opportunity at least to develop our own social and industrial legislation behind the protection afforded by the quota system in the way that our commercial and social leaders deem of best interest to the United States.
