It is only a question of selfprotection after all. Every nation has the right to and should enact such legislation as is necessary or desirable for its own protection and perpetuity.

Mr. Chairman. I do not believe the literacy test provided in this bill is either arbitrary or unfair. It is in keeping with our ideals. Education is the very foundation of our Republic.
