Speaker. I am exceedingly gratified that this bill is to pass the House and will shortly pass the body at the other end of the Capitol and become a law of this Nation. Opponents of this bill have never attempted to argue or contend that the 250.000 immigrants to be excluded by the provisions of this bill are capable of selfgovernment. They could not have taken that position without having been driven from it upon the floor of the House. They shield their opposition to this bill behind the statement that they want more labor in this country to develop its natural resources.
