Presidentand thatis a thing I want time to settle for myselfthat an educational test is the true test of the right of anindivdual tocome tothis country. As -am impressed at this time. I think we ought to have some restrictions. possibly more. tha n we now have on the right of immigration. but I can readily conceivethat a ery honest but possiblyilliterate man may come to this country who has all the qualifications of making a good citizenhonest. industrious. peaceable. and -well disposed to the Governmentand yet his early surroundings may have been such that he was unable to obtain an education in his own country sufficiently to enabler to read or to write. In such a case as that I am not prepared to say that an educated anarchist or criminal is preferable to such an individual as a citizen. That is one of the features of this bill I should liketo examine. and I hope the Senator will ask nnimous consent to have the bill brought to a vote at some time next month. after the Senate reconvenes. so that we may have ten days or two weeks to discuss it.
