We have not quite yet obliterated all the lines and have not declared that the Federal Government shall take possession of every department and every industry and that it shall be a matter of the paternal Government of the United States ousting the States from their jurisdiction. I say if any State is interested enough in this matterand I can admit that it is. I do not seek to belittle the propositionfor its population to appoint an agent. who shall for a year to come. in cooperation with the Immigration Bureau. consider all these questions. consider how feasible it Is to divert or distribute this vast tide of immigration to the different States. let it do so. and then Congress would have some information. some knowledge as to what It ought to do. But I appeal to Senatorscareful Senators. conservative Senatorswhether we should now. knowing no more than we do. embark in this entire scheme and absorb and confiscate practically. with no limitation upon it. the entire fund. You do not meet It.
