Mr. Chairman. one more question. to get at this Iberic blood. Do I understand the gentleman would like to have the House understand that the Commissioner of Immigraticu. who. aI.parently. has invented a new race. would lead this House to believe that the Arab who invented and developed a civilization. many of the elements of which are among our choicest treasures at the present time. is not of Caucasian blood? That the Jew and the Syrian who developed a civilization of their own and have given to us many of the most precious things that we now have were not of Caucasian blood. and that the mixture therefore of Syrian and Arabic blood would be a mixture of elements nonCaucasian? What I desire to get at is this. whether or not that blood. the Aryan blood. a branch of the Caucasian race. is. in his judgment and the judgment of the Commissioner of Immigration. deteriorated to such a remnarkable degree by mixture of the Semitic blood from the Arab and from the Syrian and from the Jewother branches of the Caucasian racethat it produces an inferior race?
