Mr. Speaker. I regard todays action on this bill as a mere formality. and I shall therefore occupy but little of the time of the House. But in view of the profound interest that I have heretofore taken in this matter. and in view of my position as chairman of the Committee on Immigration. it is probably expected of me to say a few words. Mr. Speaker. I can not refrain from expressing my extreme gratification at the turn things have taken. The very features of this bill which I was obliged to oppose a week ago on this floor as objectionable and inhuman have been eliminated in conference. and the very amendments which I offered in conference. and which were so stubbornly resisted not only in conference. but on this floor as well. have now been incorporated in the bill.
