This. therefore. would relieve Armenians and Syrians and people from Asia Minor from the illiteracy test. but it would impose it upon the people of Italy. where. I understand. there is no discriminatory religious legislation of any sort or kind. The illiteracy test in regard to Great Britain and Ireland is not of consequence. because the percentage of illitertcy is so low that it would exclude practically no immigrants. from those countries. but. at the. same time. England has an established church. A certain number of the prelates of that church have the right to sit in the upper House of Parliament: That is distinctly discriminatory against all who are not members of the established churchdissenters.
