President. I hope this amendment will be defeated. This is an immigration bill. It has nothing to do with naturalization. The subject of naturalization is entirely foreign to the purposes of this bill. The bill has one distinct object. to restrict immigration. especially from southern and eastern Europe: If we should attempt to amend this bill by raising in any form the socalled Japanese question. it would only lead to confusion. and might lead to the defeat of this emergency bill. I can only repeat that this amendment is entirely foreign to the purpose of this bill. and I trust it will be defeated.
