Better yet. place the front pages of this weeks newspapers alongside those of 18 and 19 years ago. and then ask yourself this question: In view of the current crisis over Berlin. can a single American plant. factory. or generating station that would contribute in any way to a war effort be permitted to rely on a foreign source of energy? The matter of the American coal industrys interest in restricting imports of residual oil has been in discussion for at least 12 years. I appealed to Congress as far back as 1950 to enact a quota restriction as a medium of protecting the jobs or our miners and railroaders. My friends from New England have made similar appeals on behalf of textile workers. fishermen. and miscellaneous other labor groups whose unemployment is directly attributable to excesses of imports. It would be difficult for any human being to visit an area of chronic surplus labor and refrain from attacking the major causative of this condition.
