I regret I can not yield to the gentleman. I speak under a time limit. and If my time is extended I will yield to him with pleasure. Every broadminded. intelligent. patriotic American. whether native born or whether he has become a citizen of our country from choice. welcomes at all times desirable immigrants when they come to our shores. Just as earnestly and universally are undesirable iumigrants opposed when they here seek admission. There can be no issue on these two propositions. and the iteration or reiteration of the statement that we favor desirable immigrants and opposeundvsirable immigrants will not serve to obscure the real issue here. and that is whether we are going to enact a law prescribing the socalled "educationmal test." which test will exclude from this country a large number of persons emigrating to our shores who otherwise are desirable immigrants. Mr. Chairman.
