Mr. Chairman and gentlemen. we will preclude or stop some of our best citizens. or people who make the best citizens. people who have demonstrated that they are lawabiding. that they are men who love our institutions and love our flag. and the largest percentage who will be kept out under this provision will be the unfortunate Polish people who are suffering today in Europe as no other people are. And. unfortunately for the Polish people. the Polish Kingdoin has been divided. and is now a part of Austria. part ol Russia. and a part of Germany. and due to this division have been deprived of and denied an education. not that they are not anxious to secure it. but the countries and the monarchies under whose flag they are obliged to live. and from which countries they desire to emigrate. make it impossible for them to secure this education. Nearly 40 per cent of these good people will l5e deprived from entering our country. and. what applies to the brave Polish people--descendants of Pulaski and Kosciuszkowiho have aided and assisted ourcountry in time of need. applies also to the people of the little nation of Servia. The people of that country. the same as the Belgians. have suffered untold want and misery.
