He did not cover all of the differences. Under the provisions of the bill the Secretary of Commerce and Labor shall prescribe the rules by which the aliens capacity to read or write is to be itested. The substitute that I have offered prescribes the test itself. that is. that he shall be able to read some part of the -Constitution of the United States. and that the immigrant inspector shall be furnished with the parts of the Constitution the immigrant shall be required to read. It also provides that that section of the Constitution shall be printed in the various languages of the immigrants. Another difference between the provision ndw in the bill and the substitute proposed by me is that the present bill has this provision: This provision. however. shall not apply to citizens of Canada. Newfoundland. the Bermudas. or Mexico.
