� That question of inspection abroad is one on which the Committee oil Immigration has expended a great deal of time. Personally. I am not convinced of its utility. but I think the majority of the Immigration Committee disagrees with me on that point. The next remedy to be considered is the educational test. Two hundred and thirtynine thousand people over 14 years of age. who could not read and write. came into this country last year. That is to say. 239.000 people. according to their own statements. If they had been subjected to any test I have no doubt that the number of illiterates would have appeared far greater.
