Mr. Chairman. no one has more earnestly or persistently opposed the literacy test in this immigration bill than I have. I believe the injection of that provision means the exclusion of many decent. honest. industrious. and lawabiding persons simply because an opportunity to acquire an education was denied them. But we are now met with a proposition offered by the Immigration Committee to change the period of limitation of three years. as It is in existing law. to five years. so that within the latter period of time those who teach the doctrine of anarchy or the assassination of public officials may be deported. I want my country kept clear of men who advocate the assassination of public olicials. I want my country kept clear of men who sow the seed of discord and discontent against our American Government or dare preach the doctrines of anarchy.
