I have repeatedly said so. and I repeat it now. Now. on page 12 of this report of the committee. which I hold in my ]land. I find this: The political unrest in Poland Is driving many emigrants to other lands. Bolsheviki disorders. oppression. and the policy of the Governmeat itself are all contributing factors. Warsaw.-Extracts from articles appearing In the press of Warsaw show that propaganda favoring unrestricted immigration is contemplated. According to these articles this spring great celebrations will take place in New York with a view to showing in what measure immigrants took part in the general development of the country. A great exhibitiom will be opened. in which ditferent races will take part. The exhibition will attempt to prove that America has profited more from the immigrant than the immigrant from America. Now. there are many other things in these socalled dispatches which have been edited and doctored by certain officials before they became public. and it is a remarkable thing. when you look through this report here of. these extracts. that you do not find references made to other countries fom whence larger immigration came here during 1920 than came from Poland. I call attelitionright now to the fact that in the report to Congress in the Sixtysixtll Congress. first session. when the bill was reported. similar extracts were offered. I leave it to every man in the House to make his own deductions and Iis own inferences therefrom.
