Mr. :Chairman. from the city of Boston. the second largest port of entry in this -country. a -city made up. as are all the large cities. of a cosmopolitan people. people from every clime and from every part of the world. and into that city. Mr. Chairman. naturally goes the *immigrant. who goes where :he is welcomed among his friends. and not among his foes. and to know him as we know him is to know that in him we have -one whom we can respect and admire. Mr. Chairman. in the district that I have the honor to represent and Where I live and was born towers the shaft of Bunker Hill. which marks the spot where Warren fell. shedding his blood for this great Nation of ours. and I wondered in listening to all the addresses that have been made here today how many bf those men Who stood with him on that eventful day were literate or illiterate. I wondered whether the great .Chrispus Atticks. the colored patriot who shed his blood on State Street. in Boston. at the beginning of the Revolution. and unable to read or write. was not a patriot for his country. Mr. Chairman. this literacy test is not in keeping with thd traditions of Bunker Hill and Fanueil Halt. It is not in keeping with the traditions that have made this country the great country that it is. Oh. we have heard -much today -of our flag and ..of the story of the flag.
