We have propositions in our laws as they exist for turning back those who are liable to become a public charge. The people on the other side do not know when they leave what interpretation will be put upon that. They come under the invitation of our laws. and when they come here they are turnedback. and some of the most deplorable eases tre those where the Commissioner of Immigration has had to execute that law and has turned back thousands of those peopile in one year. But. Mr. Chairman. we have here a test that is definite and fair to the immigrant and fair to the American wage earner and the American citizens. who do not desire to see the standards of living in this country broken down by those whom one great German characterized as the "spittoons of Europe that were being emptied upon this country."
