Oh. yes. I do not want criminals and imbeciles or other undesirables of that kind to be allowed to come to this country. but I am most emphatically opposed to the literacy test. Now. I will show you what has happened in regard to the parcel post. which the Postmaster General has said reduces the cost of living. A 5pound parcel from New York to Denver would cost 51 cents by parcel post. by express it is 37 cents. A 10pound package from New York to my city of Denver would be $1.01 by parcel post. while by express It is 57 cents.
