If it is the condition that has arisen in Belgium that we are dealing with. and not the causes that led up to itif the distressed condition of the Belgians has been the cause of the proposed amendment.. would it not be equally pertinent as to certain distressed Italians who have nothing? These Belgians have nothing. and somebody has got to provide means for them to buy farms. When they come here you can not make them go on the farms. once they are here and naturalized they will do as.they please. Why could not that same thing occur if subjects of Italy should come and some corporation should picture to us the distressed condition of those Italians and sak they would bring them here and put them on farms?
