Mr. Chairman. I move to strike out the last two words. If the party for whom this is intended could have notice in writing of the literacy test. I think it would not trouble him. I think the chief objection to this amendment. although the intent is good. is that it is impracticable. If out of the million and a quarter illigrants we do exclude 300.000. what will occur on the other side in the offices of our foreign representatives when a percentage of the 300.000 would endeavor to take advantage of this? It would open up throughout Europe an effort which would require all organization of investigators aid a machinery that would be unwieldy and be expensive far beyondi any return that could possibly come from it. and of which I believe after a while advantage would be taken.
