I would have no hesitancy in supporting his bill. but he declined to accept that amendment and the majority of the Senate refused to adopt it. It is only in that way. Mr. President. that hours can be reduced. wages can be increased. and the American toiler can be enabled still to enjoy employment opportunities here in America if he is brought into competition with the European and the Asiatic. Mr. President. the passage of this bill is a repudiation of the promises made to the American people by the Chief Executive and by those in control of Congress that the expenditures of vast millions of dollars for employment of American workers would assist in eliminating the present depression.
