I agree with the Senator from Vermont in one matter. and that is. I think aside from that your amendment ought to be made more exact and effective. I sympathize .vith the theory of the amendment if it -is limited To immigrants from the Old World and Canadians are exceptea. I want to say. however. if the Senator will allow me. that the statement made by the Senator from Vermont in reference to the results of the investigation is somewhat deceptive and misleading. I know from my own acquaintance and from my own experience that there are many poor people in the o( countries of Europe. good industrious people. who have large families. and yet they are so poor that they are unable to emigrate at tie same time. As a result with those people in that condition the man comes here first. He stays here a year or two and earns enough money to send for his wife and children. Those people I know from experience are the most industrious and most thrifty immigrants that we get in this country. So the mere fact that a man comes over here without bringing his wife and children with him at the time of his emigration is no safe criterion to go by.
