I think it is perfectly silly. One of the first statements that I made on the floor of the Senate was with reference to textiles. I said that the Government should enter into a quota system. not only in respect to textiles. but also lead. zinc. copper. and every other commodity whose need is filled in this country. In my opinion. quotas are the only final remedy. The remedy is not tariffs. An equitable tariff cannot be established on any commodity today. For example. textile workers in Portugal receive about 9 or 10 cents an hour. That is their wage scale.
