Certainly. it Is one of the most important questions. and I will just show my colleague why. If my colleague will look at this table which I hold in my hand. and most of the House can see it. I will state that the dark lines diminishing in size from the year 1882. at the bottom. up to 1909 show the number of immigrants coming from Germany. Ireland. Scandinavia. England. and so forth. The light lines indicate the immigration that came and Is coming from southern Europe. My colleague will note that they have tremendously increased. I think the most Important question before the American people today Is to determine. so far as we can by investigation and work. whether this. which. we call for the purpose of this discussion. "new immigration " is assimilating or not. My colleague asks me if I regard It as important. and I say "yes." by all means.
