Chairman. I strongly favor mutual trade and commercial intercourse with all nations of good will and friendly spirit. I strongly oppose any agreement or arrangement with foreign nations which permits a flow of cheaply produced. lowstandard. sweatshop or coolie fabricated goods to come into this country and undermine the employment of our citizens. our high standards of living. and the general prosperity of our industries. Many times I have in good faith protested against the unfair and harmful operation and effects of the trade treaties upon various industries in my district and State. I have repeatedly urged that the escape clause be invoked to prevent hardship and disastrous consequences to our working people and our industries.
