Chairman. human rights do not rest upon education or the advantages of opportunity. but upon the broad principle of the equality of all mankind. I am in full accord with the objects of this bill. but I am opposed to its principle of exclusion. I believe the time has come for restriction of immigration. but I an opposed to a test in violation of the fundamental principles of free institutions. I am opposed to a recognition of human rights upon any basis of title. station. or advantage of opportunity. I want a test of natural merit upon the principles of human equality. without regard to title. station. or opportunity in life.
