I am supporting this bill because I believe that parity should be provided for tung nuts. Under present conditions it is difficult for tungnut producers to harvest these nuts without a loss. It requires years of effort. investment. and hard work to bring tungnut trees into production. At the present time tungnut oil is being imported from China. The cost of producing this oil with coolie labor is. of course. much cheaper than we can produce it here in this country. There is a definite need for some protection. Aside from the present domestic use of tung oil. there is a very definite need of keeping alive the production in this country for war needs.
