Mr. Chairman. in my judgment there is another question involved than the mere sale of liquor. Nearly every argument that has been made on the floor of this House in favor of the restriction of immigration into this country has had stated as its main foundation the fact that the migration from the northern countries of Europe was falling away. and the influx was coming from the southern quartersfrom Italy. Hungary. and Austriawhere the class of immigration was not so desirable. Nearly every supporter of this bill. and everyone who advanced arguments. made that as the primary ground of the necessity for the restriction of migration to this country. All deplored the falling off of migration from Ireland and England. and Germany.
