In the case of industrial products it is no less real even if not so obvious. By these various laws we interfere with the free market. Restrictive immigration laws fall into the same class. This is not a plea for abolition of price supports or for repeal of our minimum wage laws or for abandonment of collective bargaining or social security. It is a call for recognition of the simple fact that it is not fair to place costraising burdens upon our producers on the one hand. no matter how desirable the objective. and on the other. to expose them progressively to sharper import competition by stripping away the tariff or by banning the use of import quotas except for the benefit of a few agricultural products such as wheat. cotton. sugar. peanuts. etc.
