I would be delighted lnyqelf to stay here a couple of weeks longer aud take up that bill am debate it and pass it. It is not. however. pressing so much just at this time. because the European war has stopped immigration. Before the war began. I will say to the Senator. that in the Democratic caucus any effort to exclude that bill from consideration at this session was defeated. and It was- left to be taken up by the Democratic caucus. to be added to the list of measures we then contemplated considering. The only reason it has not again been pressed is the fact that the European war having practically suspended immigration for the time being it was not an emergency measure.
