I have only three minutes. and I can not yield. Unfortunately. Mr. Speaker. such is not the case. at present the burden of assimilation is laid ils time present congested condition o.f our immigration on comparatively few communities least competent to assimilate it. The literacy test is not a perfect restriction. but it is the bet.tbat we know of now. It is to be regretted that it will keep out some good and honest people. but it will also keep out many who. however honest and wellmeaning they may be. not being able to read. can not inform themselves as one should to become an American citizen.
