Chairman. the whole discussion on this bill. so far. has centered on the literacy provision. If that constituted the whole bill. I would be opposed to it. for I do not think the literacy test provided by the bill is sufficient to insure the securing of good immigrants nor to exclude the bad ones. I know of some old residents in my State who can not read and still are more intelligent and far better citizens than many of the people who can. Furthermore. it would be impossible to secure better citizens than the people to whom I refer as not being able to read.
