SIEGELI has quoted froni the present Secretary of Labor. Mr. Wilsoa. in this connection. I desire to call his attention to the fact that thepresent Secretary of Labor and the present Secretary of Commerce. Mi-. Redfield. as Members of this House voted for the literacy test and voted to pass the Birnett bill over President Tafts veto. If there is a sound proposition here. it is tle one contained ill this amendment. Why should we not require of these aliens. when they come here to enjoy the opportunities in a new country. that they should identify themselves with us as a people?
