I would be very glad to sink myself entirely In this matter and take any proposition from the other side of the House that might be offered that would accomplish the purpose which my people desire to have accomplished. But no such proposition looked probable to me. The gentleman from California last night said things on this floor that were entirely out of order. but I think. since lie has said them. it is in order for me to say that not a line of the Raker bill has ever been read before the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. and nobody has made any proposition. so far as I know. to put that bill as an amendment onto this one. One provision in it was proposed as an amendment to the present bill. and I backed up the gentleman from California with as much force as I had to include that in this bill. Now. if this amendment which is now offered as a substitute was properly worded. and If it covered the menace that affects our people.
