I should like to make one observation. The Senator misunderstood me entirely if he understood me to characterize the entire Italian people resident in southern Italy. I was characterizing that part who came here as immigrants. I do not think. as I said a minute ago. that the Italian immigrants coming to this country now at all represent the best element in the Italian people living in southern Italy. I think it is a very rare thing for an Italian peasant. such as the Senator has just spoken about and properly described as industrious. frugal. thrifty. to come to this country.
