I feel that the countries of Europe and the rest of the world ought to be forced in some way to take care of their own illiterates. and not have America made a (lumping ground for the Illiterates of the entire world. I think in that respect the illiteracy test was a fair test. I want to submit to the Committe2 on Immigration and Naturalization this suggestion. that the proper way to handle this immigration question is to handle it abroad and give no man or woman a passport into the United States of America until he or she can successfully pass an examination by our properly accredited consular officers or some other agency in their own country and show to our satisfaction that they are physically. morally. and mentally competent to become American citizens.
