The voice of humanity calls to us. the cry of distress is heard across thesea. The committee. by this report. has said to the Senate and to the world: "We prefer an African who can. read to a Belgian who can not read. We prefer to bring into our country to make a part of its citizenry an African or West Indian negro who can read the mystic 40 words printed upon a card by an immigration official to a Belgian who can trace his ancestry back through the centuries to that heroic band who died in defense of their land when it was Invaded by the legions of Rome." You welcome the West Indian or African negro who can read 40 words. you drive from our shores the Belgian woman who can not read. although her husband lies stark upon the field while her children cry for bread. I do not like the parallel. Men of the South can not like the parallel.
