Quote – Elon H. Hooker, president of the Manufacturing Chemists Association. Senate Finance Committee hearings.

The Senate Finance Committee stands between us and stands between businesses that are almost prostrate, stands between us and destruction, and we feel that we can come to you for support and for protection. You will have no taxes to pay anything with if you do not keep American industry alive, and we have a right to depend on you gentlemen to do it, no matter what propositions, impractical propositions, are brought up.

Elon H. Hooker, president of the Manufacturing Chemists Association. From one of the Senate Finance Committee hearings on the bill.
