Chairman. I want to call the attention of the gentleman who proposed this amendment as to what it will do if adopted. and I am very sure the gentleman would not wish this adopted if lie fully understood what it will accomplish. Turning to page 8. the literacy section. if this amendineat is adopted it will prevent any alien under the present definition. a man who has lived here five years. and declared his intention to become a citizenwill prevent him from sending abroad for any muember of his family if such member of his family can not comiply with the literacy test. That section reads: All aliens over 10 years of age. physically capable of reading. who can not read the English language. or some other language or dialect. Including Hebrew or Yiddish.
