No evidence of serious injury has been adduced in the assertions and allegations which have been put forward by the opponents and critics of the trade-agreements program. Naturally, in some individual cases, producers have had to make adjustments to the new rates. Generally speaking, because of the moderate, painstakingly considered, and carefully safeguarded nature of the duty reduction made in the trade agreements, such adjustments have not occasioned serious difficulty. . . . I invite any person to show a single instance of general tariff readjustment either upward or downward, in the entire fiscal history of the Nation, wherein there has been exercised as much impartiality, care, and accuracy as to facts as has uniformly characterized the negotiation of our 33 agreements—or any more solicitude for the welfare of agriculture, labor, business, and the population of the country in its entirety.63
