Mr. President. I want to add one word only to what has been said. This morning. in one of the arguments made by one of the Senators against the literacy test. he either charged or intimated that it was being advocated because of a "prejudice agaipst foreigners." I want to say that. so far as I am concerned. that charge falls hurtless. I have no sort of prejudice against foreigners. I am. upon the contrary. of the absolute conviction that a German or a Frenchman is as good as I am. or as any other American is. in every respect.
