Now. if I may be permitted to make a statement. the chief differences between the two amendments are these.: The .Senator from Massachusetts. in his amendment. specifically names the Belgians. while. in my amendment. I did not name them. but described them so that the .description could not apply to anybody but to -the Belgians. Then I relieved them solely from the literacy test. whereas his amendment would relieve them from the assistedimmigration test. I think. perhaps. that my amendment is a little better in the irst regard. while it -is not nearly so good in the second respect. I described those .persons in this way: In cases where the territory of their country had received :recognition by belligerent powers as neutral territory and where their land was invaded for no other reason -than that their Government refused to consent to be invaded.
