There may be some evidence that I do not know about that has not been brought to my attention. but what the Congress ought to do to help out the distress of Puerto Rico is to wipe out the application of that wage and hour bill to Puerto Rico. It in no way conflicts with our people in their employment. It in no way interferes with the work of anyone here. If they do not do the work. it will be done in China or India or Japan. perhaps. where they can hire people to work for that wage. I cannot see any sense in our forcing that employment in the needlework industry over into Asiatic countries.
