Chairman. this amendment is offered in perfect good faith and not at all for the purpose of embarrassing friends of the bill. I am in favor of the bill. I am in favor of -financial. physical. and moral tests for admission of immigrants. and I think there ought also to be a literacy test. but that ought to include a writing just as well as a reading test. In my judgment. that is what the people of the country expect. and what they want when they ask for a literacy test is for it to include both reading and writing. I hope that the amendment will be accepted by the gentlemen in charge of the bill and agreed to by the committee and the House.
