I am unwilling. Mr. Chairman. to cast a vote here that may be construed as an approval of a continuation of those conditions. so that in the future. however far removed it may be. it will become necessary for my posterity to emigrate to another country in order that they may better their condition and obtain that to which they are entitled here. And I am unwilling that those who come after me and those who shall come after you and all of us shall be compelled to exist in penury. want. and squalor in order that we may afford temporary relief to those who are existing in simllar conditions in foreign countries today. It is not a political question in the sense that it is partisan. it is not a religious question in the sense that it is denominational. it is not a geographical question in the sense that one State wants it and another is opposed to it.
