Mr. President. the Senator will allow me to make a correction. The Cuban clause only applies to the term covered by the continuance of the present disorders in that island. In the first place. that is not. I trust. quite for all time to come. Secondly. it only exempts the Cuban refugees who may come over during the present disorders in the island from the obligation to be able to read and write. That is all. It grants no other privilege to the Cubans. While I am on my feet. I hope the Senator will allow me to say that I did not mean to make any fling against the people of Louisiana.
