My purpose in sending you this is
owing to the fact that the Associated

willing to give any industry one

American labor.
The Congressional Record showed
my position very clearly on this. My
statement was to the effect that if
there was a going concern or manu-

that had been established for num-
Der of years that rather than see it
destroyed 1 would be willing to give
it, any duty that was necessary in
order to give employment to Ameri-
