Mr. President. the question of immigration is a most important one and it is becoming increasingly difficult under the disturbed conditions of the world. I do not believe. however. that immigration should be absolutely prohibited. and I shall not vote for any sort of legislation looking to that end. I think immigration ought to be carefully restricted. It Is -much better that we should exercise more care about the seleCtion of immigrants than that we should expend our time and money apprehending and deporting those whom we regard as undesirable. I have studied somewhat the amendment to the bill proposed by the Senate committee. and I think it well considered. its provisions are carefually drawn. it seems to be .a scientific neasure. and I am going to support it if there is made an amendment to reduce the proposed percentage of immigh.ants who may be allowed to come in.
