Speaker. we are told that selfpreservation is the first law of nature. and it is also the first law of nations as well. A natfons first and paramount duty is to itself. to act always for the best interests of its own people and national security. and it is not to weigh in the balance the interests of the people of other nations. for the nation that lives for the benefit of other nations does not live long and does not live well during its short life. The paramount duty of the United States today is to shut out all undesirable immigrants without regard to race. color. or nationality. besides this duty and in comparison with it. all other questions become unimportant. The assisted pauper is coming from England. and with him comes the English thief. the bombthrower is coming from Germany and Russia. the Mafia from Italy. and the Clan na Gaol from Ireland. and from all parts of Europe are coming the anarchists and the professional agitators and criminals. and we sit supinely inactive seeing and acknowledging our duty. butdoing nothing while the sewage of Europe is flowing over all the land. It should be turned away. it should be stopped.
