We want them there. We welcome immigration. We welcome these races. I have nothing against any one of these races. I am not criticizing them. We want them in sufficient numbers to supply the demand for labor. but under conditions that will enable them to live upon an American basis. but they have come there in such numbers. as our investigation showed. that they are living under conditions that are unAmerican and absolutely undesirable. They are unable to secure employment a sufficient portion of the time to enable them to live under conditions that we like to have American laborers enjoy.
