I appreciate fully the object sought to be attainedthe opening of our doors as far as may be to the Jews alone. We might not be averse to that as a general proposition were we assured that it could not be used for other purposes. but after mature deliberation by the committee. or by some of its members at least. and informing ourselves as to the extent to which this might go. I am quite sure that the effect would be to nullify the literacy test. I took occasion the other day to show that. applying the literacy test. fewer Jews would be affected than the people of any other nation.
