Since the executive department has not generally approved recommendations of the Tariff Commission designed to enforce the perilpoint and escapeclause provisions of the trade treaty law. I urge that Congress give immediate attention to the revision of basic reciprocal trade treaty laws. and put real teeth into these laws that will promptly and automatically stop foreign imports injurious to American industry. responsible for causing serious unemployment in this country. It would be well. in my opinion. to question in such proposed legislation. the very basis of trade treaty laws. and to adopt workable provisions in the form of a quota system. or some similar techniques. for adequately protecting American workers and businesses from ruthlessly cutthroat competition that is threatening to overwhelm our entire productive system. I have stated time and time again. and now reiterate. that I favor and support mutually beneficial trade and commerce with all free nations. In fact.
