Whether that motion prevails or not. I shlli vote for the passage of the bill. My object in voting against the literacy test as prescribed in this bill is that it is basing the adlmission of citizens into this country. in my judgment. on an erroneous theory. It predicates adlmissions on the want of opportunity instead of extending to them opportunity. It is denying the opportunity whiclh this Governllent has heretofore extended to the people of all the world. reversing the policy which has beenin practice since tie foundation of our Governnent. and one which has contributed much to our greatness as a world power. leading the other nations of tile earth il those tlings which 1mke a nation great. powerftul. and enduring.
