If the gentleman from Tennessee [Mr. CooPER] succeeds in giving the President power to change quantitative restrictions. as indicated in section A of his bill. it would permit nullification of the provisions of our Agriculture Act that provides restrictions on a percentage basis of shipments of foreign cotton into this country. It would destroy the present quota limit on shipments of Puerto Rican and Cuban sugar into this country and endanger the quota restrictions set up for most agricultural products. May I ask my colleagues who are members of the cotton bloc. the sugar blcc. or the wheat blochow you would like to have your producers go to Geneva for a redress of their grievances instead of coming to Washington in the good old American way to see the Congress or the Tariff Commission? The illegitimate setup at Geneva has never been submitted to the other body of the Congress for approval or for disapproval.
