The gentleman asks a very pertinent and intelligent question. but he leads into a very difficult phase of the subject. because of the difficulty of regulating the matter on foreigu soil. The House Committee on Immigration has recently held hearings on that particular matter. and I would like to go into it more fully. but my colleague will -have to excuse me because of my lack of time. I call attention to the fact that many are coming here poverty stricken. as shown by the following figures covering arrivals during 10 days of December. 1920: Having no money. 2i693. having less than $5. 1.276. having less than $10. 1.530. having less than $20. 3.086. total at New York in 10 days. 8.537. Can the gentleman from New Jersey spare me more time?
