Mr. Speaker. in answer to that question. I shall have to refer my friend from Ohio to the statistics published by the Commissioner of Immigration. These statistics axe unreliable. however. for this reason: They were not obtained in a scientific way or by census officials. but were obtained at Ellis Island or Castle Garden simply by asking the newcomer. male or female. "Can you read?" and "Can you write?" The answers to those questions are all the information we have upon the subject. These statistics have been published. They show. for instance. that under this bill 7 per cent of our Irish friends would be excluded.
