The! question we are discussing is within very small bounds.. It is this. Shall an immigrant who can pass the moral test. the physical test. and the financial test be denied admission solely because he i unable to read and write. even though he can affirmatively show that he has been driven from his own country by persecution on account of his race? Thecommittee has reported a bill exempting from the literacy test those who are fleeing to escape religious persecution and those who are fleeing to escape political persecution. The sole question. we are now discussing is whether we shall enlarge the literacy exemptions so as to also include within them those who are fleeing to escape racial persecution. It is not proposed a single man can come in because of racial persecution if he be morally or physically unclean.
