I hesitate somewhat to burden the Senate further with my views on this question. for I have already spoken on it. but my apology. if one is needed. is that I feel this matter keenly. Senators. I plead with you. strike out the socalled literacy test in this bill. It is unAmerican. to my mind. it is unholy. in that It does not treat mankind as brother. it is unjust. in that you would punish a wouldbe American for shortcomings not his own fault. When you men of New England were laying the foundations of your great fortunes in mill and workshop. you did not stop. then to ask the questionybu hardly caredwhether your operatives could read or not.
