If it was based on the census of 1920 with at. least a 5 per cent basis. plus a humanitarian provision. I might seriously consider supporting the bill. By a humanitarian provision I mean this. that there are numerous cases of boys and girls 16 and 17 years of age who arrive in this country who have escaped from the other side. who can not pass the literacy test. and they are returned to Europe. Parents of 53 or 54 years of age. not 55. who can not read 40 words. are returned to Europe. We ask a humanitarian provision that will cover those cases and thus relieve cases of the most terrible suffering.
