All I say is that the edible fat market should at least be made available to American producers of fats and oils. To give them this opportunity I have recently introduced a bill known as "H. R. 5587 " in Congress. which will tax all margarine made of foreign oils 10 cents a pound. This will automatically and immediately replace Asiatic food oils in this industry by those produced on our own farms and ranches. It will open up new markets for our distressed American producers. Margarine offers the largest potential output for these surpluses of our homegrown fats and oils.
