The industry is agreed. and I concur. that the most suitable means of providing a stable price for tung oil is to be found in the legislation which I have submitted today. At the present time the tung industry is not protected against lowpriced foreign oil. These foreign products. produced by coolie or peon labor. have cut the market from beneath domestic tung oil. driving the domestic producers out of business. into other more profitable crops. or into the Federal pricesupport program. The first course leaves our Nation extremely vulnerable should war. or similar crisis. reduce our imports. or even disrupt them to any large extent. The latter course. that of purchase programs. while affording the domestic producer and consumer some protection. does not get at the root of the evil.
