We find ourselves called. upon to aid .and assist. Millions of dollars have been sent from this country. to assist the people on the other side. We are about to pass a bill that prohibits assisting immigrants to come to these shores. that. prohibits the immigration of men because they can not read and write. The proposition contained in. the amendment of the Senator from Massachusetts is that we shall. except the Belgian from the literacy test andfrom the assistance clause. I say that it ought to be extended also to the Alsatian. who is just as good a citizen as the Belgian. in my opinion. and possibly to the German. for Germany may find her fields are overrun before this war is over. Why not to all of these people?
