Koslosky. writes. there is no special reason why these people should. when otherwise qualified. be excluded because they can not read. They are persecuted in Russia. I am not sure that this persecution is not now provided for in one section of the bill so that they may be admitted. but it could easily be provided for a certainty. The language of the literacy test does not seem severe. I should fear that it might not be administered in good faith at all times and that sometimes discriminations might be made against immigrants who were qualified. Of course. it is impossible to get a bill covering so large a field as this one to suit all conditions.
