The majority report failed to refer to my position ift favor of a mandatory quota control. I wish to repeat emphatically the position that I took which is that we firmly believe that the American textile industry. because of its importance to our own and world economy and for various valid historical reasons. cannot be subjected to Indiscriminate international competition. It is our opinion. furthermore. that. the potentially ruinous. effect of indiscriminate foreign competition should be barred by quota restrictions similar to the quota principle which has been invoked in tariff negotiations with Mexico. Mandatory quota controls. we believe. are imperative and just. and the bill should be amended to provide such mandatory quota controls.
