If we were to carry out the spirit of the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act. that is. if every nation should produce the things it can produce cheapest. it would mean lower wages and writing off investments to meet the foreign costs. Let me say one thing further to the distinguished Senator. No human being can be for free tradeand that is what this program leads toand not be for free immigration. because there is no difference in the objective. in the final analysis. as between the importation of goods produced by sweatshop labor and the importation of the labor itself. One cannot be against free immigration if he is to be for free trade. because it amounts to the same thing in the end. If every nation were to produce what it can best produce. and finally we were .all to live alike. that would not mean that other nations would come up to our -living standard. but that we would go down to theirs. I hope the Senator has "observed conditions in other countries of .the world if he is expecting to debate the subject.
