When domestic poultrymen became uneasy because of increased importation of Chinese eggs, the Representative became interested in their problem. The Chinese have been shipping in dry eggs, oue pound equalling five dozen eggs. In 1936 Chinese ship ments equalled 26 million dozen eggs, while their 1937 exports to the U. S. equalled 55 million dozen. Robinson has written Secretary Hull, advising him of the need of an excise tax on eggs, and possible readjustment of reciprocal trade agreements. A bill also Is being pushed in congress to protect domestic egg producers.

Before this question can be ans wered it is necessary to define what our foreie-- oolicv shall be. Thus far we have drifted without articulate to objectives; and it is not reassuring lot our defense policy be determined by default by militarists and government contractors. America must choose; and she must choose quickly, la it the purpose of the United States to act as an international policeman? Shall we join forces with Great Britain and patrol the world with our navies? In short, shall we attempt to foist on the world a second Roman peace? On the other hand, would it be more in keeping with the aims of a democratic republic to merely prepare for self defense. We must choose what our national foreign policy is to be. Then we shall be able to determine the size and composition of our navy. Judging from his Chicago speech the President is for an aggressive policy of "collective security." Appar ently our navy Is being shaped In fceeninc with such objective. From the testimony of Admiral Simms, commander-in-chieof our fleet durf ing the World War, and the testimony of Major General Johnson late commanding general of the third army, and other experts, it is evident that the kind of army and navy we possess is NOT intended to defend this country. Rather it is intended for aggression under the crusading banner of "quarantine war" or "collective security."
