Today we are raising more [crops] than we can consume. Today we are making more than we can use. . . . Therefore we must find new markets for our produce, new

occupation for our capital, new work for our labor.

—Senator Albert J. Beveridge, “The March of the Flag,” 1898

Senator Beveridge’s statement revealed that the United States was risking factory closings and farm failures, as well as increasing unemployment if it did not pursue overseas markets.

True or False?

True, what Senator Albert J. Beveridge is saying that since our production is becoming too much for the country to consume so we will have to moderate it. To do that is to close factories and farms to even out the field of production and consumerism resulting in job loss of many people. Now for this loss not to happen American production should pursue beyond their borders to help moderate the production/consume cycle since more there are more people to consume over-production.

Hope this helps! :)
