We have had our diplomats in every other country. We have done everything we could In past generations to try to prevent war. We have traded with other peoples. but we have tried to protect the standards of living of the American people. both in our tariff laws and in our immigration laws. Sometimes tariffs have been too high. I opposed the SmootHawley tariff bill because I thought it went too far. With respect to immigration. we have not allowed immigrants to enter this country freely because we felt that if we did. the standard of living of our workers would be destroyed. We have tried to maintain peace. and to live in peace with our neighbors to the north and to the south. But because of the fact that I have not wanted to become involved in every dog fight inEurope I have been called an isolationist.
