Two billion pounds of these inferior vegetable fats were shipped into the United States from the Philippine Islands in 1933 alone. They not only supplied the consumer with inferior food products. lacking in nourishment and vitamines. but they crowded out of our domestic markets over 2.000.000.000 pounds of American farm products which would have supplied farm purchasing power to keep manufacturing industries running in every major city of the Nation. Our labor unions refuse to permit the importation of industrial products which bring American labor into competition with the pauper labor of Europe. and the American farmer should have the same protection against the products of the little brown men of Asia who wear nothing but a gee string and live on a handful of rice a day. The gentleman and I are in the heartiest agreement on that question. But I trust he also agrees with me that there are tariffs which ought to be lowered.
