I think we should realize that we are indeed in a very. very serious position. and this brings us back again to your responsibility on the Democratic side of the House. Now. I want to offer again the suggestion that you put a tax on improved machinery and that you govern mass production in industry. in this manner industry will give jobs to the unemployed. With their salaries they will support themselves and their families. Industry will pay the bill. and the Federal Treasury will be relieved of that burden. Let the Department of Labor handle the regulation. Then stop this great importation of foreign products at. Asiatic wages and maintain the usual good American standard. America for Americans.
