of Washington. Mr. Chairman. one of the most interesting statements made before the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization at its recent hearings was the statement of the Hon. Bourke Cockran. of New York. formerly a Member of this body. He is opposed to the literacy test. and he is opposed to this bill. and yet he stated that he foresaw that the necessity for restriction of immigration would arrive. In his .openifig remarks Mr. Cockran said: I think it is entirely safe to say that millions of human beings in other lands have been enabled to sustain conditions harsh beyond -our power to conceive merely because over where the sun was setting beyond the Atlantic they knew there was a country that offered them hospitality and opportunity to enjoy in security all that they could produce by their industry.
