Now. when the matter gets before that conference committee it will be thoroughly in the hands and in the power of that committee to accept so much of the Senate amendments as shall be acceptable to it and to insist on so much of the House bill as it should wish. Nothing else but the conference committee can ever determine the issue. and the one sole issue here. As to the imperative necessity of legislation on immigration. that was decided in this House by an overwhelming vote. as I recollect only twentysix antagonizing it by their votes. It has been declared to be the policy of both great parties in this country. and I believe also the third party. that undesirable immigration should be kept beyond the borders of this country. and that an educational test should be the test applied. Now. I do not like the tendency of the remarks of the gentleman to draw the political line here.
