President. to which this measure was recommitted with instructions. in their report now under consideration. has done the things it ought not to have done. has left undone what it ought to have done. and there is no health in it. A r~sum6 of the legislation sought for in this bill may be well enough in this connection. More. than a year ago the House of Representatives sent to the Senate a bill to amend the immigration laws of the United States. which was composed entirely of what is known as the Corliss immigration measure. in which there was and is no suggestion of an educational test. The Corliss bill from the House was rejected by the Senate. and a Senate bill was interposed in the shape of the bill which Was considered some time ago. with the provision as to all persons over 14 years of age who can not read and write the language of their country or some other country. and so on. Then follows a further provision for reading and writing. That was a Senate bill which. when it came up for consideration. was amended by striking out the age limit of 14 and inserting. the age limit of 16. and an amendment from another Senator. the distinguished Senator from Florida. I believe. a provision in reference to immigration from Cuba. That was the Senate bill. That passed the Senate as a substitute for the House bill.
