But. Mr.. Chairman. instead of that being an argument against the literacy test in this bill. it seems to me that with the large number of illiterates whom we already have in our country we certainly do not want the millions of illiterates of other lands and other climes. to whom we owe no obligation. to come here for the purpose of adding to our illiteracy and depriving our people of an education. We of the Southland feel we have all the illiteracy that we can struggle with for years to come Gentlemen have elaborated on the .education that the second generation of these aliens get. and on down to the third generation. Well.
