Chairman. that bill came before the House on Monday under suspension of the rules. On a division the vote was 64 in the affirmative and 50 in the negative. not the necessary twothirds. Some of the gentlemen who voted against the bill think along lines of general immigration somewhat as I do. or rather I think very largely as they do. Others who voted against it have in the past held very different views. and I wish to address a few remarks to each branch of the opposition. I concede at the start that every one of the fifty who voted against it did so after as much thought and deliberation as could be had in forty minutes and from the highest possible conscientious motives. Now. it may be possible that my friends who are what one might term restrictionists on the immigration questions were a little bit suspicious of me as a Greek bearing gifts.
