Mr. President. with the Senators consent. in order that the chairman of the committee may appreciate the real force of the suggestion made by the Senator from Massachusetts along the line that there is much discussion. yet to be had on the bill. I desire to inform. the able chairman thatI have prepared an amendment. which I expected to submit this morning. striking out the whole section containing the literacy test. which would give rise. to a form of debate slightly. different from that in which we have been engaged. I desire to be heard upon the question. but I naturally do not wish to be heard this morning. and naturally. out of a sense of vanity and some respect for my. own utterances and the weight .I think they should carry. I should like to have such Senators present as would be impressed with that which impresses me. sensible observations in connection with my objections to the whole section.
