It has been the theory in the past that thiscountry should be -the haven of the oppressed of all nations. We need not continue that policy if it should appear unwise to do so. It seems to me that the provisions of this bill whichwould make it necessary for the wouldbe immigrant to prove afirmatively that he is a fit person to remain in this country is a very excellent principle for the United States to Inaugurate. In the past it has been up to us to ptove that the man should not be admitted. According to this law. it will be necessary for the man himself to prove that he is fit to be admitted into this country.
