One that provides some share of the American domestic market for imports. while insuring that this share does not grow and grow. to the point where it threatens the survival of American factories and American workers. Our conscientious colleague. Representative LANHAM. of Georgia. by introducing H. R. 2815. to be known as the General Import Quota Act. has given us the opportunity to solve this problem in a fair and practical way. As one who has tried to offset the steady deterioration in the textile industry of New England. which was due in part to the ruinous competition of textile imports. I am wholeheartedly in favor of Congressman LANHAImS bill.
