Both exclude indiscriminately the desirable as well as the undesirable. except to a limited extent. without differentiation. Circumstances do not call for that kind of legislation. in my judgment. What I do think the circumstances call for is a very rigid. strict policy of selection. Such a policy will solve the difliculty. It will keep out the undesirable class from southern and eastern Europe. or any other section the residents of which we do not desire as immigrants. and at the same time it will admit the class we need for the purpose of supplementing the requirements and the needs of the American farmer.
