Woodrow Wilson: “It is hereby ordered, under authority found in the act of June twenty-first, nineteen hundred and six”

I regret that I am not able to see in the condition of the world at large or in the needs of the United States any such change as would justify the restriction upon that minimum which is proposed by the House Joint Resolution.

In my opinion the legislation proposed is not in the public interest and is objectionable.

One does not pay a compliment to the American farmer who attempts to alarm him by dangers from foreign competition.

Such a policy is antagonistic to the fundamental principle of equal and exact justice to all.
