But. Mr. President. while there is only a small number of immigrants from Africa coming to this country today. who shall say. in view of the clhanging industrial and economic conditions of the earth. that there may not be vast bodies of these people brought to this country In the near future? If they should come. I take it there are few men here who would want to see that movement. If they are to be prevented from coming. the time to do itis now. while we have that question thrust upon us. -I ask -that this amendment. which the committee is ready to accept. be adopted. and I shall then frame one which will cover the immigration which comes to us from certain islands of.the sea and which I think everybody regards as highly undesirable from many standpoints.
