For my part I should like to permit both those classes to land.. As I said. I voted for that amendment and the others similar. to it that gave the measure a larger scope. but inasmuch as 1. favor the limitation of immigration and believe in limiting it. i and having. as I believe.. Voted for and resorted to all tile. methods permitted under parliamentary procedure to bring about the admission of such classes as I believe ought to be exempted from the test and having failed. I can not bring myself to the conclusion that I ought to support the pending amendment offered by the Senator from New Jersey. because that would. in effect. ehliunate as I understand it. the real object of the -bill. which is to restrict immigration. I felt. Mr. President. that I ought to make this much of an explanation. inasmuch as I voted for the other amendments and intend to vote against this one. I shall vote against taking the test out of the bill. because it seems to be the only thing in the bill that will restrict immigration. I believe it will h.%e the effect of keeping out undesirable people. although I very. much dislike to resort to that method to keep them out. and 1 would not do it if there were any parliamentary or legislative escape from such a course.
