Mr. Speaker. for months now we have been hearing from certain newspapers and certain politicians that as a result of the policies of this administration the plight of the American farmer has become more and more unbearable. We are told that he has not really made any progress in the last 31/2 years. and that. on the contrary. the American farmers precious home market is being taken away from them by tariff negotiation which let in a flood of competitive farm imports. We are subjected to sensational stories of how Chinese coolies and South American peons are unfairly competing with the American farmer in his own front yard.
