I think it has never been questioned since that time. While the Supreme Court so held. as suggested by the gentleman from Illinois . it has never been questioned that the money could be used in other ways. especially since the Congress itself diverted it. It seems to me that the reduction of the number of people who have to pay the head tax will take off a great deal of money. and then we believe that the enforcement of the literacy test wvill reduce the number of immigrants. by some 200.000 in normal times. The gentleman from New York insists that there will be much less. that there Will be no inimigration.
