When the hoofandmouth disease begins to ravage our cattle. the losses are tremendous. and. with all the highsounding praises of Argentine canned beef. I have pretty good authority for the statement that they can beef afflicted with footandmouth disease. The most rigid inspection of all bulbs. animals. plants. and all other things entering the United States should be conducted. and to immigrants seeking entry into the United States the same rule should be applied. I can well appreciate the Senators solicitude. because I have said here before. and I say again. that there are 4.000.000 different kinds of insects in the world. They are all contestants for mankinds food supply. Scientific men tell us that it is a 5050 question whether mankind or the insects shall ultimately inherit the food supplies of the earth. If we are to survive. not only should we build up our armies and our navies. but the almost invisible insects which take mankinds food supply should be kept out of our country. I congratulate the able Senator on demanding rigid inspection not only of bulbs but of cattle and of immigrants entering the United States.
