Is it broad and patriotic. or is it narrow. selfish. and shortsighted? Upon this question we shall soon vote in the committee. but not In the House. there we shall not have an opportunity to vote directly upon it. Without going into the relative consideration of what is the most valuable requirement or restriction. what will work the most good or what the least harm to anybody. the question is. whether or not this educational requirement is a wise restriction of immigration. whetler good will probably be done or harm will probably result from its adoption. That brings us to the other consideration of whether intelligence is or is not a desirable thing in the immigrants to or the citizens of this country. That does not afford room for discussion. There are no two sides to that proposition.
