President. I thank you for kindly allowing me to be heard on this subject. Some limitation and restriction of Immigration is undoubtedly neces sary and salutary. We are opposed to this measure because the pro vision of the literacy test would 1)e unscientific. unsound. and ex tremely difficult to enforce. Consequently it would not reach the pur poses aimed at in the bill. No provision. perhaps. could be more easily evaded than the literacy test. Next. when there are at least two other tests. two other measures that would reach the end sought. and that would not be open t _ the objection of the literacy test. Is It not unfortunate that we shouk adopt this test. which is open to objection on so many grounds and which in all probability can not be enforced? In behalf. therefore. of the Socialist Party. which I represent here.
