I have only to suggest in reference to that proposal of the Senator from Missouri that it seems to be wholly unnecessary. for this reason: It will be observed that the amendment only provides for certain persons concerning whom the illiteracy test will not be applicable. and the entire effect of the adoption of the amendment is to indicate that certain aliens shall be immune from the illiteracy test. but not fr6m any other provision of the immigration law. because the language. if the Senator will pardon me. reads: That the following classes of persons shall be exempt from the operation of the illiteracy test. to wit. That is the sole effect of the adoption of the amendment.
