Mr. Chairman. as you know. I always have been opposed to the section of this bill which provides for a literacy test. and I am of the firmn opinion that the adoption of such a test would be a grievous mistake. Nothing can convince me that our party and the people of this country would approve of the enactment of a law which is so manifestly unjust. Some of my friends are under the impression that by adopting this amendment offered by my friend from California and amended by my friend and colleague on the committee there will be a better chance to defeat the final passage of the bill.
