The provision. also. which insists that they shall be able to read and understand the English language is certainly a proper one. I am one of those. Mr. Chairman. who believe it proper to admit immigrants to this country without the educational test. although when that bill comes. as it stands. I mean to vote for it. because we had better have that restriction than none at all. But. sir. the admission of a man to this country merely to earn a living is a very different proposition from allowing him to become a citizen to participate in the making of laws and the election of Members to this House and to participate in our Government.
