Let it be remembered that not only statistics but the opinions of eminent economists teach us the fact that citizenship must constantly reinforce its ranks from the lower strata of society. provided it has the necessarv racial characteristics. Now. I have advocated Chinese exclusion. and I am against the amalgamation of inferior races with the race of people which is naturally designated American. But can it be said that we will confine our selection to the immigrants from Germany or France or England? Shall we exclude Italy. a people with as illustrious and glorious a history as any in the world? Shall we exclude the Italians. the descendants of proud Rome?
