Mr. Chairman. the gentleman from California has read an article which purports to be. written by the deputy commissioner of immigration at Ellis Island. He points out what he believes should be the law relative to immigration. Now. I fully concur with the recommendation that the commissioner makes. but I doubt very much whether the gentleman from California will agree with me. because the commissioner recommends the elimination of the literacy test. and I desire to ask the gentleman from California whether he believes that we should now repeal the literacy test and in lieu thereof adopt the provisions which the immigration commissioner recommends? If he does. I am fully in accord.
