I wish to call the attention of the Senate. without any reference now to the technical objections that have been raised to the conference report. to the substance of that report. The firs two sections include the illiteracy test and the method of applying that test. The rest of the bill is the Corliss amendment. so called. That amendment. as it came to the Senate. seemed to your Committee on Immigration impracticable and likely to lead to great hardship and injustice in the form in which it was put. They had grave doubts as to whether it could be put in a practicable form or not. They struck it out. and the Senate agreed with them in that amendment.
