Mr. President (Mr. Dawes in the chair). and your colleague so honorably represent. would desire that immigration of the people of Africa to that great and noble old Commonwealth should be encouraged. The people of MassachusettsI speak of them ab extra. although as a Senator of the United States I have a right to speak of them. if not for themI do not think would be hungry for an irruption of a million of the inhabitants of the continent of Africa todayor tomorrowor next year. not because the people of Massachusetts have any hostility to the African. not because they do not desire his development his growth his education. every amelioration that may belong to him. but because they believe by instinct or by educetwn that it is not good. Perhaps I overstate it. Perhaps my honorablefriend from Massachusetts. speaking for that great Commonwealth. will say that after providing for the warpremium men the one thing for which the people of Massachusetts are hungering is a very large African immigration. I do not think that can be so. Speaking in part for the people of Vermont.
