Mr. Chairman. I desire at this time to make some remarks on a subject not entirely germane to the bill. but one which I deem the most important that confronts the American peoplethat of foreign immigration. The vast horde of illiterates from Southern and Eastern Europe that has swarmed to our shores for the past few years presents an issue before which those of finance. tariff. railroad regulation. and trusts pale into insignificance. If mistakes are made in these questions today. the statesmen of tomorrow may to a great extent correct them. but this motley mass of aliens threatens us with a condition that coming ages will perhaps grapple with hi vain.
