I an going to vote for this bill. relying upon the judgment of the men who have framed it.. although I have my own doubts as to its necessity or. wisdom. I think we are getting along pretty well under existing law and regulations. I believe the fear is- not well founded that grave dangers are involved in permitting immigration from Europe as restricted by existing statutes. There is this to be said for the bill.. however. as a temporary imeasure. I. think: it is probably true that such immigration as is coming here is not of a very desirable class from an economic standpoint. The real workers. the. nen who would be economically useful. are remaining in. their own countries assisting in their upbuilding and recuperation from the devastation of the war. and those who are coming here are the parents and the dependent children and the female relatives of people who are already in this country. I think it is our duty to receive a certain. number of these people. particularly the dependent parents and the dependent minor children. but I. see no. reason. however.. why we should open. the gates and admit all. of the other relatives of. people who are in this country. and for that reason.
