In ily judgment the bill as reported by the conferees is iore restrictive in sonte respects.than the present law. and therefore I shall vote for it. although I aill not in accord with some of its features. It falls far short of what is expected and denmanded of this Congress by the people. They have asked for bread and you lre giving them af stone. * Relief has been pronmised theni. but that promise 1as been broken. They nave trusted you. hut tlat trust has been violated. I am unalterably opposed to the importation of this foreign pauper element into our country. It will not only result ii disturbing labor conditions. but. if unchecked. -it will ultimately wreck and.ruin our American sCCial system . Sooner or later the country must choose between two causes.
