Mr. President-. I want it distinctly understood in voting on this proposed amendment that the very object of the literacy test will be nullified if the amendment is adopted. At another time I -have explained fully why the committee saw fit to repeat what previous committees have done by inserting the word "solely" before the words " religious persecution." and I hope it will be thoroughly understood that to introduce the words " political and racial " will practically nullify the object sought to be attained. In my judgment. to strike out the word "solely" and insert the words "political and racial" will be equivalent to inviting the whole world in. and will nullify the literacy test. With that explanation. I am ready to go to a vote on the amendment.
