Mr. Speaker. I amn consistent with the record that I made onl this question before Mr. Wilson became President. One gentleman has referred to the fact that there are not very many foreigners In my district and that that is the reason that I declare so boldly for restricted immigration. I do not believe that any number of foreigners In my district ivould keep me from doing what I thought Was for the best interest of my country. But. Mr. Speaker. if the presence of any considerable number of foreigners in a congressional district in the United States does intimidate the Representative so that lie is afraid to speak his honest convictions on this question.
