Mr. Speaker. it is simply a question of political economy. and not in any sense partisan. I have been curious to learn just how this educational test would affect the immigration to this country. The total number of im- migrants coming here. as shown by the report of the Commissioner of Immigration for the last fiscal year. was 343.26). This * is an increase of 84.731 over the number coming during the previous year. or an increase of 32.77 per cent. As times improve. immigration will largely increase.pand unless we pass some measure restricting immigration. the number coining into this country during the next fiscal year will exceed a half million. The conference report practically excludes only those who can neither read nor write. Taking the status of those who came into * this country during the fiscal year- ending.
