I am sorry the Senator can not give me the credit for a disinterested and honest statement. but would impugn the integrity of my utterance and charge directly or indirectly that selfishness would govern me in objecting to that. Has the Senator ever read the record as set forth in Buckles History of Civilization in England of the deportation of the million and a half of Moors after their conquest of Granada by Ferdinand and Isabella? If he has not. I advise him to get that book and read the horrors which would result from the deportation element alone. to say nothing of the indirect trouble and the loss to the country from which deportation occurs. to convince him that the cruelty of the thing is alone. so far as I am concerned. the reason why I should object.
