Speaker and gentlemen of the House. I shall not attempt to make a speech in the two minutes allotted to me. I want to say that I am heartily in favor of this rule and very much in favor of the bill prohibiting all immigration. which the rule directs shall be immediately considered. I think that the greatest service which this House can render to the country is to pass. and pass speedily. legislation restricting immigration. In the year 1919 I introduced a bill to suspend all immigration for 10 years. and last June I made a speech on the floor of the House in support of that bill. I can add nothing to what I said On that occasion. for I fully expressed my views then. The bill that we are now considering suspends immigration for2 years. I wish it were for 10 years instead. but if we can not get 10 years I am certainly in favor of the 2 years.
