Speech #600060963

I saw it stated in a newspaper the other dayI do not know whether it is a lie or the truththat there are 4.500.000 people out of employment in the United States at this very minute. I take it that that is an exaggeration. but suppose half of it or twothirds of it is true. Then. as the gentleman from Alabama suggested. a gentleman who is on this Immigration Committee and also on the Immigration Commission sent abroad to investigate the subject. let us keep these "cheap Johns" out of the Sandwich Islands. shut the Japanese out. shut the Chinese out. and our own laborers will go to those islands and work the rich land. That is precisely what I want to see. The rest of you can do as you please-
