December 7. 1920. In the short time that has been allotted for the presentation of the minority report we are therefore constrained to present our objections with extreme brevity and.are of necessity limited in the presentation of. facts. The purpose of the bill is to prohibit practically all immigration for a period of two years. This is so drastic a change In the historic olicy of the United States as to be startling. Immigration practically Sega.n a century ago. During that time the doors of- opportunity have been kept open. Men and women of various nationalities have been welcomed here and they have become incorporated in our population.
