The commission as a whole recommends restriction as demanded by economic. moral. and social considerations. furnishes In Its report reasons for such restriction. and points out methods by which Congress can attain the desired result if its judgment coincides with that of the commission. I have called attention especially to these various features of this class of immigration in order that the Senate may see how the educational test may bear upon the problem to be solved. If you examine the evidence relating to the old immigration. to which I have so many times referred. you will find that only 217 per cent of the whole were illiterate. while of the new immigration. taken as a whole. 35.6 per cent are illiterate. The average of the whole would be about 26 per cent.
