Mr. i)ILLINCTIAM. May I suggest at this point that the Senator was absent from his sent when I covered the very ground that he is going over at this time? I stated in his absence that the estimate made by the Immigration Columission w\as that the reading test If put in operation might perhaps reduce the general immigration substantially 30 per cent. but we have been getting a million and ua lilillion and a quarter of that kind of men every year. They hve overcrowded our cities. overcrowded tle labor market. and even with 30 per cent cut off there wouhl he a good chance tlat we would have a1n alundant supply for all the purposes to which the Senator is referring.
