Mr. President. I am one who believes in the restriction of immigration. I know It is one of the principal objects of this bill to restrict immigration. and yet I regret very much that the method of restriction adopted in the bill seems to be the only one to which we will be permitted to give serious consideration. It seems to me that those who are behind the bill have adopted a method of restriction that is to a great extent obnoxious. at least it seems that way to me. I dislike very much to restrict immigration by prohibiting. Immigrants otherwise qualified from entering our ports on the ground of the test provided In the bill or any similar test. The Immigration Commission that for several years gave a great deal of attention and study to this questionand I presume have given us more detailed information of the subject than was ever gathered together before in the history of the worldhave suggested various methods by which immigration could be restricted. I am not going to enter. Mr.
