I think the House is not disposed to insist upon the provision adopted by it touching the admission of those subjected to religious persecution. However. whether tile House takes that p6sition or not. this body ought to -enact legislation that appeals to its sound judgment. As Senators will note. the provision adopted by the House exempts "-aliens who prove to the satisfaction of the proper immigration officer or the Secretary of Labor that they are actually subjects of religious persecution." A consideration of the question must convince any thoughtful man that if such a provision shall go into the bill It will make it absolutely unworkable and will turn the office of Secretary of Labor and perhaps of the President of the United States into places where practically nothing will be done but to hear appeals. If Senators are interested in the restriction of immigration. as I am. they will vote down the amendment and then vote for the bill.
