The insanity statistics. the illiteracy statistics. in the United States and in the different States. the character of the races affected by this restriction. the effect on labor and cost of living conditions which this bill will impose upon the people have not been studied by gentlemen in this House. and they are ignorant upon these questions. This bill violates every principle of justice and reverses the highest principle of asylum which has ennobled this Nation during its whole history. It is absurd to limit the debate in opposition to it to three and onehalf hours. A full debate would defeat the literacy test in this measure. as it should be defeated.
