Not a single good reason has been advanced that under any analysis could justify the committee which is offering the bill to exclude from its terms and provisions the amendment that has been offered by him. The greatest objections that have bees offered to the bill by its opponents were. first. the unelployment in this country. and that we must take care of those who are here by giving them employment. The second objection that was voiced. or the argument that was advanced for the passage of the bill. was that the class of immigrants who now seek entrance to this country of ours were not of the sturdy type that had built this country into the great Nation that it has become. Both of those arguments. in my opinion. are arguments in favor of the amendment that is before us for consideration at this time. The class that would be exempted under the terms of this amendment will not come into competition with the hornyhanded sons of toil. as they have been called here. who are already in our midst.
