If Senators will give me their attention. I shall undertake to illustrate both of the propositions I have advanced. The President in a very clear and powerful veto message states his objections to the immigration bill. which may be epitomized thus: First. The bill embodies a radical departure from the traditional and longestablished policy of the country. Second. It seeks to all but close the gates of asylum to political refugees. Third. Literacy is not a test of character or personal fitness. but of opportunity. I propose submitting some remarks in stipport of the veto of President Wilson. I shall also undertake to reply to the arguments advanced by the proponents of the bill.
