Chairman. since the creation of this Government we have said to the enlightened nations of the world. "Come. the door is open. there Is room enough for all." We are now asked to inaugurate a new policyto close the door. put up the bars. and say to the world. "Stay out. we want no more of you." Are we ready and can we afford to do this? This is the ultimate question for solution. Gentlemen say. "Oh. no. this is a very mild and reasonable exclusion act. it will only arbitrarily exclude a certain per cent." Mr. Chairman. that is not the purpose of this measure. This is the beginning of the end.. it means final exclusion of all aliens.
