Mr. Chaiiman. when I rose to ask the gentleman from Iowa what lie meant by undesirable classes and he left out of his statement those races now coming into the country I expected to hear from him at least an answer. and the fact that he remained silent. and the further fact that he has been on his feet twice since and made speeches. indicates that there was something in his argument that he did not believe in himself. something fallacious. something untruthful. and something that was not fair. He shows clearly that he is willing enough to use arguments that he can not substantiate. I consider this is unfair. Now. allow me to call his attention to the fact that the great German Empire is today inviting this very kind of immigration that he calls undesirable.
