Mr. Chairman. I shall only take a few moments at this time to say I am compelled to oppose this bill. Since I have had the honor of a seat in Congress I have worked in every way possible to restrict immigration. We now see some of. the penalties of a large and a loose immigration. and I venture to assure those who are on this floor that this sort of legislation will not cure the present trouble. but will make the present situation. in fact. infinitely worse and more confused. Further. Mr. Chairman. I dislike to hear any Member of this House say he proposes to pass a bill here as a scare. to scare people. and send it to another body. thereto be corrected when treaties now under negotiation come into force.
