The House is to take action and it will set a precedent today of what it intends to do and as to what it thinks of that method of attempted legislation. I do not think one can find a single precedent in the history of Congress when anything similar has been tried or done. Now. my distinguished friend from Kansas stated a few moments ago that some one had said 15.000.000 immigrants would come over here in a year or two. The very absurdity of the statement should appeal to anybody who can take a pencil and paper and try to do a little figuring. There are just 75 ships that bring passengers running between the United States and Europe and Asia.
