The distinguished Senator from South Carolina. who is chairman of the Immigration Committee. will recognize that many months have gone by since.the committee as a committee considered the immigration question. Meanwhile one of the greatest wars of all the centuries has fallen upon the people of Europe. It does not require a very acute imagination to look forward a few months. perhaps a year or two from now. when nations will be subjugated and will suffer every kind of oppression by the conqueror. Are we to say that the natives of a conquered nation can not come to our shores if they will. though during the period of reconstruction they will be the victims of political and racial oppression? The Senator must recognize that we are dealing now with a condition that did not confront the committee when the committee was considering the various phases of this immigration question many months ago.
