I protest most solemnly against that narrowness of inimd. against that lack of vision. against that absence of sympathy for our fellow ilen which refuses to a fellow human being a refuge and a resting place. The captain of a ship who would refuse to take on board a drowning person. would be shunned as inhuman unless he could plead in justification that the addition of a passenger would result in the sinking of the ship with :ill on. board. Not unless all opportunities are exhausted. not unless there is no room left to shelter one more. will the American people be justified before their own conscience and before history in adopting. the philosophy of Cain. "Am I my brothers keeper?" Adopt the literacy test. refuse admission to the ma1 without a knowledge of the alphabet but with lands willing to work and with a soul free from the contamilation of comnercialism. Paralyze industry. check progress. reverse the policy which has given to America life and sustenance. surrbund the country with a Chinese wall of exclusion. smother all huniane instincts. pullish the unfortunate man for being illitermte by depriving iila of an opportunity to darn his bread. But remember that no free people can long remain unjust.
