If it were understood that in all probability the Congress of the United States. in revising the Sugar Quota Act in 1940. would not materially reduce the Philippine quota. there would probably be no very great objection to the ratification of the treaty as it stands. But for one I want to be understood as taking the position that I do not agree. in the event the Philippine Islands are to become free and there should be a substantial reduction of their quota. that the United States should not in any event distribute that substantial quota to its own domestic producersand when I speak of domestic producers in this regard I include the producers of Hawaii. Puerto Rico. and the Virgin Islands.
