Mr.. Hanna (Ohio), said the object of
the new department was to enable the

"We do,'' retorted Mr.. Hanna.
''The record of what has been accom-
plished by the Dlngley law" continued
Mr.. Hale, "is to me the most amazing
record ever exhibited to the world in
the absorption of foreign trade. We have
absorbed foreign trade in The great eoun-

have mot wasted our energies in dream
of what is called Oriental trade. We do
not need additional markets"
Mr.. Hanna replied that the United
States had not conquered the. markets OF
Europe and the markets of the world
we're yet an unexplored field for as.
Mr.. Hale then offered an amendment
