Mr. Chairman. a deep impression has been made on the Members of this House by the argument offered by th opponents of the literacy test. Some of it has appealed to our patriotism. Others have touched the chord of real martyrdom. while still others have placed the cause on the basis of cosmopolitan philanthropythat the Nations sympathy should go out to all the world. While I appreciate very deeply the strength of that argument. and while I recognize the "talking " points In opposition to this test ani to the bill. yet I really believe. as a Member of the Ilouse anxious and desirous to vote right. that we ought not to allow mere sentiment to direct us entirely on this vote. but we ought also to appeal to the future of our own country as well as to the unfortunate situation of the people who live in other countries.
