Mr. Speaker. this is a fair rule and gives the House an opportunity to dispose of one of the great questions that the rule brings before the House today. There is nothing more important than the consideration of the immigration bill. As stated by the gentleman from North Carolina [Mr. Pou]. no one knows what the conditions of immigration will be at the close of the European war. This country must take every step that is necessary to protect itself by regulating fur-: ther the character of the immigration that shall come to it. It has that right and it owes itself that duty. The bill made in order by this rule will give the House an opportunity to take into consideration rules and regulations further governing immigration into the country. I reserve the remainder of my time.
