Just in connection with what the Senator from New York was saying when this colloquy began. I should like to say that the language of the amendment proposedby the Senator from Massachusetts limited this privilege to Belglans who were engaged in agriculture. in other words. to agricultural immigrants. Now. I saw the technical objection. so far as naming aUy particular country was conceried. lut the trouble which has come upon Belgians who are engaged iii agriculture has also befallen those who are engaged iii lace iiiing or in any other manufacturing industry. and I was not able to see why we should extend to a Belgian farm:er a privilege that we were not willing to extend to a Belghif imechanic or artisan of one kind pi another.
