There may be a larger percentage among the Jewish and the Polish people. but I can not give the exact figures as to these races. It is not because of the effect the passage of this bill will have upon the classes of people who reside in my district that I oppose it. but for the reason that I believe an effort will be made to substitute the Dillingham bill for the Burnett bill. and I feel confident that there is no one here who has studied the Dillingham bill who would be willing. if he be thoroughly familiar with the provisions of it. to vote for it. The chairman of the Immigration Committee has stated. and I have always found hiti to be sincere. that he is in favor of and will insist upon his bill. not only in the House. but I hope also in the conference to which it will go. Mr. Chairman. it has been stated that great demands are being mde by laboring people of this country for the enactment of this legislation.
