Mr. Chairman. in the discussion of a great public question such as is involved in this bill for the restriction and regulation of immigration to our country all personal or individual interests and prejudices should be laid aside. and we should enter upon the discussion with open lminds. striving solely for the ultimate and lasting welfare of our country. I regret that in this discussion and in former discussions on similar measures some of the speeches delivered have bristled with statements plainly indicating the prejudice and bias of those engaging in debate. For myself. .I feel that while an advocate of the pending legislation I am not constrained in my support of the same from any desire to unjustly curb or handicap the aspirations of the people of any other land in their efforts to better their condition in life.
