In particular it has been very beneficial to a segment of the economy that I have the honor to represent. the tung oil industry. It has prevented the dumping of tung oil most recently by our South American neighbor. the Argentine. upon this country and ruining that little industry which I must confess. unfortunately. does not have much popular appeal because it is limited to that particular section of our common country bordering along the Gulf Coast from Florida to Texas. inclusive. This little industry cannot survive in competition with either the cheap labor of the Argentine or the coolie labor of the Orient. At some time later in the debate I propose in the consideration of the merits of the bill to say something else about that. I may say in passing that on yesterday the President of the United States issued a proclamation based upon the findings of the Tariff Commission in which an attempt was made to take care of several of the agricultural commodities.
