I repeat what I have. just said. that durlag the debate on this bill allusion was made to the State of New York and to the city of New York. I deem it my duty. coming from the State of New York. to call the attention of the committee to the fact that yesterday the lower house of o ur legislature passed a resolution calling upon the Congress to vote against the literacy or educational clause in this bill. On Saturday last my colleague called the attention of this committee to the fact that the sentiment of the State of New York was against this literacy test. and the fact that the assembly of that great State. which has within it such an enormous number of the foreign born. passed the resolution protesting against the educational test. is the strongest confirmation of the statements made last Saturday by my colleague I.
