President. I realize now. as I have during the period of which I have spoken. that it is very desirable that there shall be substantial unanimity upon this question. I think. upon a review of the whole subject. in order to secure some approach to that unanimity. the chairman of the committee should assent to the objections of the Senator from New York. who was formerly the chairman of the committee. who has taken part in the deliberations of the committee. and who is entitled to have some regard paid to his judgment upon this question. and allow the report to be recommitted. so that the words "or some other language" may take the place of "the language of the native or resident country." and so that I may be allowed an opportunity. against my serious judgment on this question. to assent to the retention in the clause proposing a new exclusion of the word "wife." so that an illiterate wife may accompany her husband or be sent for by her husband. provided that husband is a qualified immigrant. I join in the request that the Senator from New York makes.
