MICKIE SAYS
J. W. Pordney Shows Need
For United States Valuation

“We are importing at the rate of
ab< ut $otX)J0'X),000 worth of foreign
goods . per month into the United
States,*’ declares Congressman J. W.
Fordney. Chairman of the House
Ways and Means Committee. “Most
of those goods could be made here.
There is not a manufactured article
produced in the United States in
which the labor cost is less than 90
per cent, of the total cost—I mean,
following the raw material from
•art to finish. Now, if that is true,
of .the $300,000,000 that we are send
ing abroad each month to buy for-
eign made goods, $250,000,000 is
g'dng o u t‘from the people ot the
1 nited States to employ German,
French, English, Japanese and Chi
nese lab;«r, while our laborers are
walking the streets in idleness.
“Under free Vaile we must come
to a common level somewhere, if we
compete with all the countries of the
world. Today German labor is get
ting from 60 to 65 cents per day in
gold for ten or twelve hours. Japan
ese and Chinese labor today is from
12 to 18 cents per day in gold for
twelve hours’ work. If we had to be
placed on a par with the imports
from those countries, do you believe
we could lift those foreign countries
up to our standard of living? Not at
all. We have got to come down to a
common level somewhere, but we are
not ready to do that, and we are not
going to do it.
