We could do a lot of things if we paid a little attention to tidying up our own house before we begin telling other nations how the world should be run. I am not surprised that our laboring men as well as our farmers are beginning to realize the danger that confronts them under the tradeagreement program. The friends of labor have striven for many years to build up sound immigrations laws. which of course are being undermined by thelowering of the duties on products made by cheap labor abroad. There is no surer way of destroying the pay rolls of this country than to transfer them to other countries under a low tarifi policy. Is it wise for the United States to continue a policy that will ultimately weaken the social protection and security programs built up by the National Government and States for the promotion of production and security of the great mass of individuals privately employed?
